Picked up an sks-d and it's not in tiptop shape and the stock has been painted. Wondering how much it would be worth. Tiptop are going for $850. Has three well used 5 round mags. Can't post pics if need pics for better advice message me. Thanks Travis.
Need some advice on sks-d

Paid 500$ for one on the EE a few years ago. The 850$ is a panic price and honestly some people will pay it. A guy here posted how he got one for I think just over 100$ and that was a month or two ago.
OP if it is a good shooter but dinged and nicked up I'd think 400$ ish would be reasonable. EDIT: missed that it was painted...ermmm 300$ ish...
It would sell pretty quickly.
Also, I saw an ad selling AK 5/30 mags for 100$ EACH a day or two ago. Don't forget a site sponsor has 2 packs of 5 tound AK mags for 35$.
I guess if people are willing to pay, they are willing to pay.
I'm willing to pay 60$/lb for Alliant Unique.
The SKS-D is a neat concept but I have NEVER had a problem with the original SKS design ever buggering up. They function. Period. Loading ammo. Feeding ammo. They just plain work.
I'm of the opinion that the SKS is actually undervalued vs. its cousins like the D/M

Paid 500 8 weeks agoand it came with a crate of ammo.
There we go. See that is a normal price and my guess was the stock wasn't painted.

An SKS-D is worth no less than a standard SKS. There is a finite supply and unlike a lot of other rifles, these have a market floor value. My concern is they were commercial quality not military quality, ie made to sell, not made to be used in battle. The one l had and quickly resold was not repeat not an exemplary rifle.
When posting for sale, be sure to indicate stock has been painted or sanded down or if any metal has been modified. Every change from original will bring down or hold down the price.

I have been saved from that folly simply because I did not know any better (until this thread)
