Is $199 a good price for a yugo sks

Question

i founf a yugo sks at pawn shop for 199

Answer 1

Unfortunately yes

I bought my unissued Yugo 59/66 for about $139 a year or so ago and the 59 that I still have for $89

The prices have gone through the roof

For some reason I bet my money on the Mosin 91/30

I bought 15 of them just before the prices came down a little

Answer 2

If it is in excellent to like new condition yes. I bought one two years ago in just good condition for $99, but they have even gone up in price for that condition so, yes that sounds like a good buy to me.

Answer 3

Depends on condition.... If its well worn its only worth $99. Avoid ----- If its real nice then it might be worth $199..... Take a look at the 2 websites below and compare the condition and prices....

At all costs do not purchase it if it is a worn out rifle. If you arent sure of the condition pass on it and have your local gun dealer order one of the better grade SKS rifles in these 2 links..... You will pay a little more but better condition SKS rifles are fun and safe to use.....

Answer 4

Pawn shops usually have a good steep mark up. That SKS is probably over priced but if you would like it, consider it an investment. As long as you don't abuse it you can get your investment back.

Answer 5

Not bad, I can get them wholesale for $149.00 to $159.00 but then you add in the $25.00 paperwork fee and shipping and it works out pretty darn close to that.

Shoot safe

Answer 6

ya, ive seen one for $250. consider yourself saving $50
