This is one of the better write-ups I have found on these mags:

Other than that, there is some debate as to the current market price (.gov contract price is supposely around $8ea and I have seen listings anywhere from $9 to $18 per mag) and the legitimacy of mags currently hitting the market. There is some talk that these have been walking off military bases at a regular clip and that a healthy percentage of the ones being sold come from these sources.

A couple of additional links that may help:
