Does anyone care to venture an opinion about the current value of WWII vintage boxed 00 buck ammo?

Maybe $100 for the 25 round US Property marked boxes of commercial, paper cased 00 buck in excellent, undamaged condition and double that for the fully wrapped boxes of Winchester or Remington brass cased ammo in the same shape?

I have not seen any of it change hands online in a good while and I have not been to any recent quality collectors shows. All thoughts or opinions appreciated.

There was a box of brass shelled Remington on the GunsInternational auction site, no date, that sold for $50. It appears that the brass case makes it M19 ammo. Usually 10 round boxes. Supposedly worth a lot less than $100 though.
It seems the paper shell stuff dates from early U.S. entry into W.W. I. Mind you, there was also paper shell training ammo.
Long discussion here with good pictures about 'em. http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/16671-usgi-shotgun-ammunition/
I'm thinking it might be a good idea to pop over to the Cartridge Collector's forum and ask there.

There really getting scarce these days and when you do find them
The prices are crazy. Glad I picked up a lot of them when they were
Plenty an available. They go for what someone will pay, but that is getting around
$400.00 per box of the 00, in good shape.
