Looking for advice from milsurp guys

A local pawn shop has a heavily sporterized Kar 98 for 575$ and I've wanted a Kar 98 my whole life but even sporterized I never find them and when I do find complete original ones they're like 2k$ not talking about other variants but German made ww2 Mausers do you guys think that's a fair price?

2k is more than a fair price for an original. If original ww2 matching k98's were 2k I'd buy as many as I could get my hands on.

sporters I think 575 is fair but I'm less into sporters so I can't say. 4-500 seems reasonable to me so you could probably do a little better but it's not going to be that different. There's a lot less demand for those.

What's with the Sporterized ones?

The stock is cut so it destroys the collectors value
