What's this stuff worth now-a-days?

Got this Chinese ammo with a recent rifle purchase. Two sealed cases of 750 rounds each and one opened case missing 120 rounds. Dated 80 and 81. What are the unopened cases worth?

I would guess 30 to 35 cents a round no problem. That's assuming it's steel core, which I would be willing to bet it is, since it's from the early 80's. The sealed tins would add to the value. So I would say $250 or so would be a fair price for a sealed tin. You might even be able to squeeze a little or a lot more out of it if someone wants it bad enough.
I would have thought a sealed tin from then should have been a little more likely to have the sealant around the rim and primer. When I see sealed tins I think more towards military rather than civilian market. In that case you would expect to see the sealant. Late 70's I know at least some of their stuff still had sealant.

Thanks for the info. There is sealant around the rim, it's very light and hard to see it in the pictures.

I thought that might be the case, I almost asked. But I zoomed in pretty far and in didnt look like it had any. I am pretty sure they used a clear yellow tinted sealant on some of the stuff. I am not sure when they stopped putting it on. I do know at least some of the early 90's produced stuff didn't have the sealant.

Let me know if you would be interested in selling one of the sealed cans. Thanks,
