Milsurps / Prohib SKS price

Just got my first gun and it was a Chinese SKS paid 850. Did I get ripped off?

Nowdays old surplus sks are all getting more costly by every day.

Ati sks can be cheaper where they are essentially either old gun with new stock, a faulty old gun, Or aftermarket parts jammed up together in a new stock, Therefore they can be slightly more cheaper, and most of the time the dont run out of stock unlike the woodstock surplus sks, They have less value but surplus sks with woodstock might run out in the next decade unless they open up some long forgotten bunkers and fund a ton of those stockpiles again.
