Price for Chinese triangle 36 drum magazine?

[Tkessen]

Hey everyone! As the title says, I'm asking to find out what one of these magazines costs. I have recently acquired one for what seems to be an exceptionally low cost.  I bought it from an older friend who has been collecting military surplus since the 50's. I'd like to know what it is really worth. It is in EXCELLENT condition. No nicks, pits, or rust spots. Actually, the bluing seems to be perfect. Magazine bears 36 in side of a triangle marking, so it is an original pre-ban drum.  I have the original shoulder pouch for it too. So how much is it worth? I have seen prices ranging anywhere from $150 to as high as $500. THANKS!

I've seen drum magazines as low as $75 on other sites.

I do not track the Chinese drum prices. 
The recent import of the so called Bulgarian hinged back drums in the Chinese pattern that were imported in the past few years kind of drove the Chinese drum prices downward.  They are not factory marked but load and operate like the Chinese and sold as cheap as $65.
I think and original Chinese is in the $125- $150 area +/- for a75 rounder.  Though I could be off on that pricing.

A member on a local site I am on put up a few drums today.

One is a Norinco triangle 36 75 round $350
and one is a chinese 100 rd (very rare) still in factory sealed wrapper $450

Not sure if they will sell(I know they wont too me) but I will keep an eye on them and let you know.

Pre ban Chinese drums are up there on price and they work great. the Bulgarian drums not so good.
