I am clearing some shelf space and have assembled quite a quantity of old, dirty, unfired ammo. Some of it, conceivably, has some collector value. Some of it is so tarnished and dirty that I am unable to identify caliber, manufacturer, ect.
I am not a collector and have no sentimental reason to hang on to the old ammo, so intend to sell it...if there is a buyer.
My question... For collectible rounds, will I lessen the value if I clean it up a bit.. something like wiping with a rag and shell polish? Or, do collectors prefer the accumulated patina, dirt, and debris that is stuck to the shell casings.
Next question.. where is the market? Do I need to separate this stuff and sell it with only similar ammo in a lot, or just clump it all together and hope for the best with a single buyer. How 'bout the buy/sell forum on this site?
Any other advice to this unknowledgable owner of some old unneeded ammo.
responses appreciated.
