650 seems like the lowest they go for on gunpost, even that is way too fucking high. Funny because sks's priced at 650 always have "low price for quick sale" in the desc. I'd buy one for 500 max

Right when I wanted to pick up a Chinese beater for a side project the prices jumped 😢

Oof I wish. Prices now from the store are like 750 and up. So 650 is definitely a competitive price.
Is it worth 650 though? Probably. But I have a hard time imagining buying one at 750-800+
Seems like better options for the price

If theyre russian in good shape they move super easy at 800 for us on consignment.

What other proven, reliable, 7.62x39 semis exist in Canada?
It's no different to seem Valmets sell for $5-$15k.
And they use to cost around $150...so you'll pay $500 still?

If you can find one on Gunpost sub 750, thats it bud. The prices arent going to plummet. Unless the Liberal Government prohibites it, then its worth nothing.

The prices on gunpost are not the actual price. It's expected that you negotiate a bit.

TBH, I hate the haggling part. I'd rather everyone just went with firm pricing.

About 12 years ago I bought 2 for under 400. I'll never get a deal like that again lol
I should have bought a crate of them.

The local shop in my town had some Chinese sks. Then the shooting happened and they all sold. Good luck finding one now

Guns4Cash (G4C) is a pretty solid store. SKSs are at record prices everywhere thanks to the defacto Semi-Auto bans from Trudeau.
