Wow, just last year the Chinese were for 200 where I'm at.

I have seen a number of people list their Chinese SKS at $300+ but the truth is, they're still for sale at those prices. I'm not sure they're moving at that price here in Canada.

Dealers push up the price first and people on EE follow up.

I'm more curious to know if there are more "new old stock" Chinese SKS potentially arriving in Canada in future?

As long as there is a market some more will " turn up"

I hear ya, they seem to let go at around $220 used now since nobody is buying them for $300+. Even the never fired ones don't move!

That's because of all the even cheaper Russian SKS's holding the price down. It makes me laugh to see people moaning about "price gouging" when they see $350 SKS rifles being advertised, you have seen nothing yet . SKS rifles are a bargain in Canada, they are not expensive in the US either.

Those sold quickly because of limited numbers, really and likely the last batch too.
