8x50R Lebel surplus ammo value

What's the French CF 8x50R balle N ammo going for these days?

Thanks!

On the net I've seen it from time to time sell for about 45-50 cets a round + shipping. Locally it tends to run closer to 80 cents a round. Quite a few of the 48 dated ammo I've fired over the years have been dud's , click bangs etc.
I'd rather buy modern factory or handloaded ammo for around $22 for 20 rounds - with primer cased reloadable brass cases, than pay 80 cents per round for iffy old ammo.
I guess for collection purposes the new ammo wouldn't do though ... :-)

Good answer. Thank you!
