Buy recommendations SKS Current Prices Worth it?

Just got my pal and ive always intended to get an sks, but after 9 months of waiting the prices have gone up quite a bit since originally intending to buy one

in your opinion is the current price range of 700-1000ish$ worth it for an sks? i always see one of the main selling points as being cheap, but if a more modern rifles only a few hundred more at this price point is it really worth buying an sks still?

They ain't gonna go back down. There are still 400 dollar SKS but they likely need something. Mine needed a stock/stock repair which I didn't mind cause I wanted aftermarket anyways. But at the same time I saw someone trying to sell a Chinese for 950 at the gun show that he bought at the local gun store for 500 bucks. Deals happen but they are only gonna get more expensive.
