I have a ton I need to unload for a move out of country. I do not want to price gouge but honestly dont remember how much I paid. I stopped buying ammo almost a year ago so do not know market prices.

I dont want to price gouge. What is a decent price for M193, M855 and MK262.
 
The cheapest I'm seeing M193 and M855 coming up for sale on other forums is about $0.60 per round, and at that price, it seems to be selling in 500-1000 round quantities. I've seen people asking $0.80 and sometimes even up to $1 per round for the stuff, but I doubt it's selling fast (or at all) at those prices. That's up from the probably $0.40 per round that it cost originally.

I haven't seen much of the MK262 stuff selling lately, but the last stuff I saw selling in the classifieds was $1 per round. I'm guessing it was probably closer to $0.75 per round originally, but someone else here may have more expertise on this stuff.

I may be interested in some of your ammo depending on how you price it and what quantities you have.

Just out of curiosity, where are you going, and what brought on the move?

Sell it for what it would cost to replace it today. There is no shame in that

I totally agree. No shame in selling at the market rate. The only other thing to think about is how soon the move is coming up. If you have to get rid of it quickly, that may influence pricing, but it should move fast regardless these days.
 
A friend bought 500 rounds at C2 Tactical yesterday and paid 80¢ a round, but C2 is a little bit high in price most of the time for ammo.
