Empty Mosin Nagant crates

Post by Maverick 82 »

I'm looking for help determining the value of empty Mosin Nagant crates? I have a dozen of them in storage. I bought all of them just becauce I thought they were cool haven't decided what I'm doing with them yet. Although, if the price is decent I'd sell a few with local pickup only. I'm in northern Indiana an hour south of Chicago. Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided.

At least a few hundred bucks I would think. The material alone to make a wood box that size with hardware would run that without labor costs.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

They will sell quicker at 100 or less, maybe 150 if in perfect condition? I'm basing this off recently posted higher priced crates that no one bought and what people actually pay.
