SKS price alert

[FatCatsDad]

So it begins. Check out wild West's consignment page as per reddit. $1400 Sks

This has made other semis price jump, I see ####### now charges 1300 to 1700 for a win 100 and ridiculous amounts for BARS

 

[Joel]

Holy crap lol

 

[Johnyy]

Some *#&&^% selling in EE currently, a bubba'd 54 Russian for *REDUCED* for {ONLY!} $900! lol. People like that give us all bad wrap..

This is probably the last we will see low prices the next batch that comes in will reflect our poor dollar now around 69 cents

Bass Pro / Cabelas SKS sale is over and they've joined the price gouging like the other stores, listing price on these is $639 today

Yep, $ 190 "Gouge" ! And here I was feeling 'bad' that I missed out and paid $490 back in summer.

The problem is that many of those are old crappy rifles.

so an SKS then?

Nothing a belt sander, gun blue, oven cleaner and true oil can't fix.

But after spending $650 should that be necessary ?

They dont even varnish/finish the inside of the stocks for $450 lol

But yeah no $600+ SKS for me. Feel bad for new shooters

At 650 your getting into nice name brand rifle territory .

These guys spending this much on these relics is artificially driving up the price of nice guns.

Stores and distributors are laughing their heads off at what they are getting away with

It's the same guns at Cabelas and ither stores as last month
This whole story about a new shipment at new distributor pricing is , well I personally think it's BS.

A whole new container of SKS just happen to show up on our shores 3 days after an OIC and talks of a Feb. Ban, hmmmm....doubtful.

Same as pistol freeze OIC...all of a sudden cheap $275 guns were $450


Now que all the, "we should be thanking the stores for this " crowd and other boot licking types

 

[Joel]

I'm not usually conspiracy minded, but the timing is rather sus.

 

[Buck1950]

I just checked Tenda and the x39 is Out of stock. It was there a couple days ago for $10 more than it's listed now and still $20 more than it sold for last month. Bets on it 're-appearing' in a week or two at a higher price ??

There's also an "all numbers matching" with clear ###X on the stock refurb marks for $800+
I looked at the EE this morning and saw numerous $750+ SKS'

 

[Buck1950]

That "Refurb" had a 'Price Drop' - wonder what it was before. And the Tapco "Rare Opportunity" to buy . . . "never fired by me" advert by "veryevilnip" - I should say so ! I can't look further than those . . .
I suppose if one wanted to avoid a 'record of purchase' a $750 price tag might be attractive, even if Tenda and CAB/BP have raised their prices.

What nice name brand rifles can you buy new for $650??? I can't think of any.

I'd say Savage and Ruger American but you said "nice" lol

 

[Reid199]

Got one in ottawa last friday, confirmed NIB French plastic, But I know what you mean, been in there a few times only to find the classic type 56 all wood refurbs.

When Russian was coming in Canada for 250$, gold was 1500 ounce and now around 3900$.

Even a new gen 1Ruger American is over 700, aren't they?
