Selling ammo?

[Gear guy]

Is it legal to sell ammo? I have a bunch of cases of 3" and 3.5" shotgun shells at a super cheap price I got in a deal I made with a guy. I don't need it all and need to get rid of a bunch of it. Just don't know if it's legal or not?

If its factory ammo I'm sure its legal to sell as long as the buyer has a PAL.

EDIT Just re-read your post I see what you were getting at.

It is factory ammo. Just wonder if you can resell it is all. Had to take the lot for the price I got

Seems like you really don't understand the art of the deal. If you can't resell it legally then you bought it illegally. On top of that, even for almost free it is only worth buying if you can resell it. All in however you got lucky, as others said, yes you can sell it to someone as long as you make sure they have a current PAL (Not Expired).

Provided the both the seller and buyer have a valid PAL, and it's factory ammo..all is good. Reloaded ammo of any kind=no go.

Seller=needs one to legally be in possession of it
Buyer=needs one to gain possession of it

For the sake of the transaction, the seller need only verify the buyer's PAL. The weight of ammo makes face-to-face deals a better idea, and since Canada Post won't handle it, that means couriers like CanPar or UPS. (=big $)

While you do need a PAL to acquire ammunition, I can find no regulation that specifies that you can't legally possess ammunition that was legally acquired, without a PAL. This seems to be another oversight, like being able to purchase ammunition components without a PAL.

It is necessary to have a firearms licence in order to possess or borrow a firearm or to acquire, by any means, a firearm or ammunition.

Notice that it specifies a license to possess or acquire a firearm, but a license only to acquire ammunition. So if you acquired the ammunition before the PAL came into effect, or if you had a PAL when you acquired the ammunition, but your PAL has expired, according to that statement, you haven't broken any laws.
