How much is that SKS from Ukraine actually worth you ask?

[Conscript]

My friend Borat here explains.

Holy frack.....

 

[highbeam]

^agreed

 

[emerson]

Probably a very common situation, but rarely seen so clearly.

 

[nick237]

Why doesn't Canada just buy there military stuff from them big savings lol

 

[Dexter Morgan]

It's no different than the wind-turbine situation in Ontario.

None of the numbers add up, unless you include thievery and corruption into the equation.

I could drop a few grand there, they should set it up like eBay, throw in free shipping and I'd be set for Christmas shopping

I wonder about shipping and duties of a 1,000,000 rounds of that 5,56...

The Luger for $56.76 probably has someone crapping themselves right now...

 

[sigrunes]

Corruption, pay offs, shipping, bureaucratic red tape/documents, massive greed and profiteering equals the $2-$3 sks being $200-$300 retail. Crazy man.
The US dollar conversion is the least of our worries it seems lol.

Sounds like time for a group buy....does anyone have a boat or plane we can use ?

[Enfield303]

Holy Crapple! I just payed $189.99 for a 1950 Tula SKS.

 

[ShawnC6]

Do they take payments?

 

[32 ACP]

I'll take one of everything up to the howitzer .

 

[pcvando]

We're getting hosed.

Nah, Pretty much horse crap...

But...

Just imagine how many warehouses they have filled to the brim with ww2 era rifles, machine guns and pistols. It's a collectors gold mine. Id love to be able to walk through, pop open crates and take my pick.

 

[Big Uke]

Even if the prices from our (lying) Russian blogger are true, then I propose to go back to my homeland and relieve the Ukrainian military of their excess inventory.
It's my duty.
Watch the EE for deals upon my return.

 

[dmazay]

This is a balance value in the government books. Nobody will get it at this price unless you are a member of the corruption ring.

 

[badboybeeson]

As others as said raw cost v landeed not the same
Government pay offs. Mafia pay offs. Security transport costs ects
That said the Canadian importers are are around $80 or so

 

[philhut]

I figured cost current for import would be btw $50 to $80. Then the initial impprter flipping them to distribution and large retail for btw $130 to $180/unit ... sure the Ukrainian people are seeing no more than $2-$3 per rifle show up in their treasury.


*my numbers have no research to them I just pulled them out of let's say my ...

 

[Horilka]

What a #### load of bull crap those two videos are... If I have a time tomorrow I'll give you break down and explanation why and how those prices and exports work. I had been in this business for several years and still have friends that are still in business. As in typical case of Russian propaganda those videos are a mix of facts, lies and heavy drugs.
