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!

Hope ya got $400 fer today at least

Do you ever sell any of your guns? I see you playing with people all the time, but don't know if you ever sell any...lol

If i am desperate and need $$ quick i do. Trading is more fun, never know what cool stuff other members offer. I like unique, cool sstuff. All of these glocks, ar's, 1911's, m&p's and etc just dont peek any more interest. All of that is dime in a dozen, always available, and plentiful, even scummy pawn shops always carry that stuff. Not so much for ar's these days, but never been really a huge fan. Seems its impossible to find one in regular, old school configuration these days. Feels like com bloc guns was the GREATEST investment in firearms i have made. Not so much stuff floating around anymore, still remember $1k for sgl 31-94 i paid years ago, everyone said i lost my mind paying 1k for ak.

Much larger crowd in attendance than I expected. I didn't really find anything that I would consider a deal, and ammo prices were insane! Even with the pre-election/Covid prices, gun sales were brisk, (BTW sold the SKS for $450 to a dealer). Keep your powdered dry!

I saw .223 ammo at $1 a round, some a bit less, some green tip at 1.40
Boxes of 9mm from .60 to .85 a round
.380 also going for .60 a round.
Saw boxes of .22 that used to be $19-$23 priced at $60. Just crazy.
