Milsurps / Prohib SKS price

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

When I started dating my fiancée 7 years ago, she offered to buy me an SKS for my birthday. It was at the time of the Cabelas/Bass Pro Shops merger. It was on sale for $99…. I told her that I’d find a better deal at the upcoming gunshow and that I wouldn’t pay $99 for an SKS.

Spoiler alert: I did not find a better deal. I would absolutely pay $99 for an SKS now. What a dunce.

If I could go back in time Id snap up the $1000 crates of SKS that I used to pass up on. Hell, I'd rent a warehouse and sit on them.
