No clue what one costs new but on average you can get 40% to 75% of new cost from a used item depending on a lot of variables such as condition, availability of new ones and whether it has any special collector interest or such over and above user value. No clue how this one fits into that scheme of things.

Me thinks Lurker was tongue in cheek and kinda hinting he'd like to have it. I have a Magnum Research 1017 which is a Ruger 1022 clone but with much better quality and far more refined. I'm not sure if I'd really want one at much higher than Lurker's suggested price really but I guess if a fellow as for some reason gonna use it to hold off a horde of invaders one might be worth a bunch.

Check new price on them and look for the lowest not the highest. Honestly evaluate the condition of yours. If it's truly mint or close and hardly ever used but does work as it should then think along the upper end of that 40%-75% range. If condition is lower or if it has problems think way down toward the lower end. If it's well worn and shows plenty of honest use but works well consistently then think perhaps closer to the middle of the range. That's general guidance for most things and you can apply it here as well.

Graybeard, thanks for your response.  The company that made these EATON Supply, no longer makes them.  As for a little history,  I ended up with it because my nephew knew that I had a 10/22 and some one had passed it along to him.  I don't believe it has ever been used from appearance and from searching the web I see that some have wanted them but they were not selling after the hi-capacity ban was in effect. Not much more to be found so that is why I posted it here in rimfire hoping that someone could come up with an idea what it might be worth.

Post the magazine on RimfireCentral.com. There, you should find someone that knows about the magazine and what it would be worth.

It seems this can never be said often enough.  Offers to sell or buy have to be done on a classified forum, not a discussion forum.  I did remove a couple of posts relating to the sale of this item.  Please keep this type of discussion to PM or Email.

Sorry Kieth L, I did reply in a PM.  Most of us overlook the PM area on the various boards so it is not uncommon to see a "heads-up" post.
