Found these in a house we are to take down tomorrow.
Three full cases of 410 shells another case of
various Gauges and shot sizes some paper shells and
one box of full metal cases. I guess we'll have to
pull out that full case of skeet we found in another
building.

They will easily sell for $5/box X 20 boxes = $100 for the lot, maybe more.

If it was .22 rounds you would have struck gold. But I would recommend firing a few of the .410 loads to be sure they did not get moisture in them and then see the whole lot for $5 per box like mentioned.

There is no reason to sell those .410's that cheap. Sell them for close to current market price or stow em away and sell them a box at a time. The paper cases can be sold to cartridge collectors and if I understand you correctly the full metal cases are shotgun shells? If so Cowboy Action shooters will buy them. If it was me, I'd stow them away for myself to either use or barter.

If you don't have a .410 they do make great targets for a .22
Set them up on a fence post with the primer exposed and blast away.
Hitting the bulls eye is more fun than punching holes in paper.

You should not have too much trouble finding someone who is interested in buying those off of you. They are plastic casings so I doubt they have gotten wet inside.

Anderson Jockey Lot usually has someone selling ammo. One of those guys probably would buy them from you. Don't sell too cheap. Other wise, buy a .410, good for squirrels.

.410 shells retail for 12-15 dollars a box. You might also check at a local skeet shooting club. They may take them all.

Oops, I missed that there are 20 boxes per case of .410 shells. 12 Gauge has 10 boxes per case.

I'd have to open and close my single shot Winchester a good many times to use up those babies. Jim

I was doing a repair one day at a sheriff's department when some elderly lady called. Her husband had recently passed away and she was cleaning house. She ran across his old 30's or 40's Smith Wesson .32 detective that she didn't want around, so she asked if a deputy could go pick it up. None of the detectives really wanted to, so I asked the sheriff to deputize me, and I offered to go take care of it. He said "NO", and sent one of his existing deputies, whom went and picked it up, brought it back to the office, and began his paperwork to have it destroyed. While he was doing that, she called back. Now she found a bunch of ammo, and asked if a deputy could pick it up as well. I looked at the sheriff and almost asked before he looked at me and said "NO", and sent one of his existing deputies.

Don't do what the little old lady did. It will make me cry, again.

Ohio, those .410 shells usually sell for average $15-$20 per box !!! Doesn't really matter what brand. I've naught several of brand X. I'd still buy a single shot maybe in a H&R $200 at tops and have some FUN !!!!!!!!!!

Not an expert at skeet. But I find it odd those are clearly marked skeet loads when a legal .410 load is a 1/2 ounce of shot.

Dad bought a 410 pump gun from His nephew and let his Grand son's each use it till they were ready for something bigger. Mom still has it and we have a skeet chunker somewhere and a full case of skeet in my garage. I think we'll take them out and shoot till they are tired and sell the rest. I wonder if there are any laws for casual sale of old ammo?

I've seen old boxes of shell like that in the original box sell for as much as 30 bucks a box to collectors unfired. I'd try selling them. For what they can be sold for you can buy new shells and pocket some change.
