Looks like it says what's in it. 7.62x54 ammo. And probably not worth much. Just the cost of the ammo, would be my guess. It's not rare.
Yeah, it's just ammo. Now, the boxes might be worth something if you can authenticate it.

The crates would prob go for a hundred-ish at least if that measurement is 6'x4'x14". The ammo is a caliber that isn't used anymore so doubt it's worth a lot

The pick up location is about 30 minutes outside of Dallas, so if anyone here wants to bid, let me know and I'll post the link

That's probably about where it should go. I wouldn't go higher than $100.

It's still used. There are Russian rifles that still take it. But, it's definitely not widely used.

You can still get weapons that fire it. Mostly foreign made. (AK47) 7.62 is now almost universally x39 instead of the x54.

Yep have a couple AK's and a SKS, if it was x39 it def be worth more
