I have 3 like new mags that have been in a drawer for several years..They are gray aluminum..Stamped on the bottom:

LABELLE IND
OCONOMOWOC WI USA
MFG 90435

Anyone have an idea what they may be worth, and would they be legal to sell? Thanks

    legal to sell to anyone if not posban LEO only mags... otherwise you need to sell to Law Enforcement Officer or dealer only.

    I've been paying $25 to $40 for good condition 20 rd. and 30rd Colt mags and $15 to $25 for gov. contracters like Lablelle, Adventureline etc. I thought it was a good investment until they started talking about the assault weapon ban expiring. I think the expiration of the ban will cause the value of high capacity mags to drop just the same as the value of pre-ban rifles might drop when folks can get a flash hider and bayonet lug on a new rifle. I used to buy govt. contract AR-15 mags for $5 to $10 before the ban.
