K43 value

lintmann said:
Thats a nice one for sure but I'm not really interested in anything with any post war markings at this time.

Now back to my original question, I'll try a different approach...

Lets say this was mine http://www.gunauction.com/search/displayitem.cfm?itemnum=8826684 , or any of you guy's K43 and it was to be put up for sale here in Canada. What would you all think is fair market value, or, what would be your asking price for it?

Thanks

Now if that is your rifle, tell us what you are going to ask for it.
Or, if you put it in an auction, start it at 1 cent, and the true fair market value will be reflected, providing there is not just one bidder.
Auction results vary with the season, the weather, the amount of coffee and chocolate consumed, the seller and the item, a rainy or sunny day, etc...

Your question has already been answered several times at the start of this thread. To recap, $200-$12,000.

But then there is the Seldomly Seen, Rare and Über Exotic Experimental G43's that will run you up to and past the $25,000 mark (not a typo Twenty Five Thousand). Dig deep in that wallet!

While searching for a good G43, K43 I'm trying to get a feel for what these old German autoloaders are worth and I came across this old auction of a nice matching original one. I see that it sold for $1850 back in 08, in the US but for those of you that follow these guns what do you think one like this would be worth these days in Canada?

What if it wasn't all matching but in about the same condition?

Any advice is appreciated. :)

There's one on the EE for $6,000 right now as we speak and type.
 
That's an intersting one but no way is it worth 6K unless it's mint which it probably isn't since it has a repop stock along with the original. I suppose it could be worth anywhere from $200 to $12,000 like you say($200 if found in a garage sale and $12,000 if two guys on crack are bidding on it) but I'd only go 4.5K- 5K tops on that one IF it was nice. Also putting a mismatched scope mount on one of these isn't a big deal(most have the mount rail) but it doesn't make a it sniper rifle. True Sniper rifles had the mount numbered to the gun.

For what it's worth the general opinion from another forum is that the gun the I initialy inquired about is worth about $2,500- $2,700 IF I really wanted it. That's US pricing too so add another $500ish to get it here.

You should price them out in Pakistan and Russia too, then you could sum the Canadian, US, Russian and Pakistan Prices and find the average by dividing by 4 and let us know what you find.

What would be the point to doing all that??? And, who are you refering to when you say us???

You could research the Global Price of G/K43's from one end of the globe to the other end for curious buyers.
In fact, I'd go for as many countries, at least 30, if you could, just like a buyer going from car dealer to car dealer checking out car prices and kicking tires.

"us" is the Forum, aka Gun Nuts.

Again... what would be the point in knowing the Global Price of the G/K43's?

I agree that some members here would find it interesting to know the average global G/K 43 prices but I'm not one of them. Maybe you should look into it since you thought of it and brought it up. Better yet maybe you should start your own thread about this survey that you are going to do to help all of "us" learn about the global 43 prices. You could carry on from my thread but it's only titled K43 Value and I'm sure you will get way more interest and kudoes if you search for both the G and the K.

To everyone else that tried and helped me out I appreciate your thoughts. At least you guys read my post and understood what I was trying to learn. :)

It makes me wonder if you learned anything as you repeatly asked the price over and over in this thread as it was repeatedly answered by several people.
Maybe you didn't like the prices you heard and were hoping for a real low ball answer?
 
I must like you guys. Here are 4 pics of my mine. It is a G. 43 duv 44. It is missing the front sight cover thanks to someone at EPPS.
