I just put my ns522 for sale in the ee and I am second guessing my aking price. What do you think of the price? Should I lower it or do you think it will sell with in the week?

I got a very nice norinco ns522. Comes with bipod, scope and rings as pictured. Rifle hase only ben to the range 3 times and is very accurate, has less then 150 round true it, metal is 100% ,wood is as came from the factory with 95% with 3 small nick and a little indent on the right side below the front scope ring. It is minimal and could be iron out and can be seen in the picture below.

The scope is a burris MSR 4.5-14×42 the scope was bought new for this rifle and is 100% mechanically and finish wise.

600$ plus shipping

On the EE, the cheaper something is - the faster it will go. If your rifle was listed at a really good price, you'd get messages in the first 10 minutes.

I can't speak much for your set up, as I'm seeing huge differences in the value of the optic on a quick Google search. I know I was very happy buying my NS552 from CanAm for $200 (New). It boggles my mind to see how much these guys have inflated since then... supply and demand I guess.
 
Yes last I saw the nss on can am was 300$ and there no more coming and the burris sight was also in the 300$. That what I baise my price on
 
Might be faster to separate the scope from the rifle and sell the rifle cheaper. It's attractive to people that want a cheap gun that out shoots it's price.
It's funny how once a blow out sale happens people expect the blow out price to set the used market value for years to come.

Just about as funny as seeing people selling used firearms at new prices, if not higher ;) . On an unrelated note, I get a good laugh at people selling mags for these guys at $80 - 100. If you consider your firearms an investment and want them to hold their value.. don't use them :)
 
as already stated, I'd split up the scope and rifle.. for $300 I'd bet it sells pretty fast. you just can't buy these anymore and they out shoot a lot of more expensive rifles. also easy and fun to modify.

It's only funny if the items are actually available for sale.
I bought a NS 522 directly from Chris ( Canammo) at a gun show. It was discounted and only came with one magazine, Chris told me it should be pretty easy to find another magazine and he thought that it was the same as another Anschutz model. Turned out that Chris was wrong and the only place to find magazines are on the E.E.
I did get lucky and bought one at a very nice price but I can understand someone selling a hard to find magazine at an inflated value.

Sure some people are out to lunch with their prices but other people are fixated on a sale price that has long since passed..... two sides of the same coin.

And the people that enjoy making stocks and doing other modifications won't want to pay much, even after modifications these guns will never be about pride of ownership but more about pride of shooting better groups then some other guy with a gun that costs several times more.

I know I would like to buy garand at barrel pick em prices!
 
I paid $214.00 for mine new & shipped 15 months ago. Ive seen a few guys ask $250.00 and they seemed to sell. Yours is used with a scope, I'd guess its worth maybe $500.00 shipped to me on a good day.
 
many guys already have a scope, so you kill alot of potential interest when you list it that way.
A rimfire in the 200-300 range usually sells pretty fast.
It will sell more readily for 300 shipped with bipod. Keep the scope or sell it separately.
 
An Ns522 is what it is but the scope is a bit more personal so, as folks have said, just sell them individually! $300 for the rifle seems about what they go for, the scope I have no idea, however it is used, so take that a bit into consideration!
 
I just took your advise and changed the add. I added or 300 for the gun only, I also posted the scope up for sale seperatly.
 
Seriously, does it not come with any mags?
Things like that need to be clearly stated in the ad.

I will edit, it comes with one mag, would be pretty ridiculous selling it with no mag since there almot unobotium.
