I met a guy who was trading me an Egyptian Rasheed for a wasr. I thought it sounded to good to be true didn't think anyone could be that retardedbut we both showed up with what we were supposed to.......
That first one is a joke all though it did happen both rifles were worth the same at the time. And the trade was with the OP. who still has first right of refusal if I ever decide to part with it.
I am the one who ended up with the "scrubbed" M1 carbine that was on here a few weeks back. He had good pictures but you never really know what you have until you hold it and take it apart for the $400 it was definitely worth the low risk. Plus I sold an AR for $370 to pay myself back so only having $30 bucks in it was great since I am poor right now. At the meet the guy even tossed in ammo for it.
THat was far and away the dumbest deal I ever made. They were valued about the same at the time...but the Rasheed kept going up and up and the WASR came down. I found another Rasheed from a store in Tulsa Oklahoma...which has filled the Rasheed sized hole in my heart.
Yeah I am stilled surprised that the rasheed's don't bring more then they do.
Biggest risk? Getting too Sentimental about an example. Letting go of it to upgrade.
It is interesting, you probably couldnt find a seller with one that would let it go for less than $1000, yet the expected value is what.... $800ish? Its hard enough to find one at all...if I gave you a week to find one with a willing seller it would be a struggle.
Yup if someone offered me $1200 I would turn it down. They are just not replaceable.
Bought an SKS off Craigslist last year for $50, had to drive way back in the woods to the guys house, turned out he was a retired sheriff. The SKS was NIB and he gave me 100 rounds of ammo
Yes you would
