What is my SKS worth? - Gun Show Today

[moonie]

I've got an SKS I acquired from another ODT member a few years back in a multi gun deal. It's been in my gun safe since purchase. Appears to be Chinese with matching numbers. I'm thinking of selling it at today's gun show and would like to get opinions on what a fair price would be in today's market? Any advice greatly appreciated!

One on Jekyll for sure.

Well poo.. to far out.

300-450 depending on barrel length, bayonet/spiker (or none), bayonet attachment lug (or shaved), original stock or poly, original magazine or 20-rd box mag or duck-bill mag.. and overall curb appeal. Good success !

20 inch barrel, bayonet lug but no bayonet, original stock and magazine, cleaning rod, 6 out of 10 overall

Yup Jekyll Island.

That seems like pre-covid pricing to me. I haven't seen one under $450 since the panic started and wasn't there one at $1000 on here. ( it was supposedly still in the box). GLWS and let us know how it goes. Jekyll seems like an upscale place to have a gun show since you have to pay to get on the island along with getting into the show.

Yeah, extra $8 just to get on Jekyll. The local show is normally at the Brunswick National Guard Armory. If they've held one on Jekyll before I'm not aware of it. Not sure how well attended it will be....

3-400. Keep in mind its worth about 350 parted out

/26\ or Norinco?
Blade or spike bayonet?

/26\ with a blade could be a Sino-Soviet worth a bit more
