I'm headed off Cape Cod tomorrow to the Attleboro area. I'm looking for a place along the way that sells ammo boxes. I haven't been able to find any locally and if I can avoid the shipping off the internet I'd like to. Any suggestions?

There's an army navy store on rt 1 in Attleboro that sells the GI ones. They usually have them in good shape but they're not cheap.
Basspro in foxborough has piles of them.

What does everyone consider a fair price?

Do you mean ammo boxes or ammo cans???
Ammo boxes being what reloaders use and cans being the military metal/plastic style?
Capewalk I bought a few ammo cans at the surplus store right on main street in Hyannis a year or so ago. They were $10.00 each if you bought five or more, which was a price I was happy to pay as they were right there in stock and in great condition. Just a little dusty.
I wonder if an NES "group buy" could bring the price down to $5 each.
Not to rain on your parade but, you'd likely have to buy thousands to attain that kind of pricing. Then, finding to someone to handle that type of logistical storage and distribution would be your next hurdle. I wouldn't do it on a bet.

bananas in kingston had very little of decent ammo cans last I was in......no bargin either. Last time I dropped in I did not even bother to ask for a deal as the cans where in rough shape. as of late seems more and more chinacom imitation crap and less actual surplus.
GI Joes in north attleboro has tons of them in good shape for about 12-13 bucks
I was just there today & the cheapest price I saw was $18.95.
I read somewhere recently that the armed forces are destroying them now and they are going to be harder to come by in the future. We'll see I guess.
Yeah, this is more their usual - BUT they usually have them in decent to excellent shape with good seals - and a lot of them from 20mm size down to 7.62
