lol Yeah, like buying a steak for a $1, but you also have to buy the potatoes and salad as well in order to get that steak, which cost an additional $25.

or is this deal ending because Norinco will no longer be exporting ammo so they cant do the deal since there will be no more ammo to do the deal with???

Good possibility.

I was quoted ~$50 shipping for the SKS and ammo bundle to Toronto a few days ago; I would expect southern Ontario quotes to be fairly similar.

I got the deal for a M305 full size, and the SKS, and the total came out to just over $500 all the way to Halifax. I was very pleased with both firearms.
The rifles were kinda crammed together in a Marstar case, but there was lots of greasy wrapping paper, lol...and the total shipping was only $40.
Now, the AMMO deals...that's another thing altogether I expect. Ammo shipping can suck!

Is the $199 Chinese sks with case a good deal at Marstar? They claim it's brand new covered in grease

Not brand new. Old production from the 60s to the early 80s and unissued. But yes, covered in grease.

Not knowing much about used firearms. If it's never been used wouldn't it still be new?
I see lots of sks questions. But havnt seen anyone ask if there is a difference between Unused 1960 or unused 1980?

Would a 1969 Camaro that has never been driven still be "new"?
I wouldn't call them new, I wouldn't call them used either. They are old stock and unissued from long term storage.
Read the sticky in the red rifle forum on the Chinese SKS. It gives great detail on the years and variations of SKS production in china. There is too much information there to try to cover it off here in one narrow post.

K. Thanks.
IMO if you had a 69 Camaro with 0 km. I'd call it new.

Nothing that is 45 years old is new. Like-new, or unused maybe, but not new. Stuff deteriorates even if unused. Something's more than others. A 69 Camaro with 0 km on it that has sat outside uncared for would not be new. Condition might be like new, but still not new.

Overpriced case of ammo, toss in an under priced SKS? Great deal huh... 
There's lots of talk about how most of the Russian stuff (SKS, SVT 40, Mosin's, ammo) was coming out of Ukraine and that one condition for UN/NATO help was they had to destroy their cold war stockpiles instead of selling them off. On the Chinese side, shipping giant COSCO is supposedly no longer handling weapons and ammo. I'm sure someone else will step in but their middle man charge may be higher. To top it off, I've read that most of these deals are done in US dollars and we know how our dollar is doing against that.
So you're right. What it all points to is the next shipments will be more expensive and prices in general will be going up. (If there even are any "next shipments")
