SKS prices.

A lot of stores and sponsors have them on sale right now for 210ish.
I say the average refurb condition would sell easy at 200. If you list them at 150 they will be sold in less than 24hours. (I would buy a Chinese one at 150-175 on impulse)
For a pristine one, often called "super grade" I think 225 is fair. Its just an SKS after all but stores list them for 275-325
The tacticool ones (ATI or Tapco stock) should sell fast at 275 but are often listed at 350 and I think they sell. Not to me though.
Those grey wood timbersmith stocks are listed in the $400s. Its just an SKS, I would pay 300 for one of those if I desired it.
Just my opinions

You need to be more specific about what you've got. A force matched bbq paint sks is still a $200 gun, but if you've got a numbers matching non refurbished one it could be worth 3 times that or more.
For accessories, adding 50% of the retail value of the accessory to your price is probably pretty darn close.

My mistake 220-230. But 10-20 bucks is close is enough. I am sure there are others but..

Both Chinese and Russian ones have gone on sale for $199-210 from a number of dealers in the last 6 or so months. It's not the regular every day price perhaps, but they can be had for $210 or less pretty frequently if you're looking for the sales.
I got a 1951 arrow stamp in star matching , electro stencil on gas tube. Sewer bore ��.
No date square with line through it. All matching. No stencil on gas tube. Shiny bore. Fancy zebra wood.
1954 arrow in star. All matching. Stencil on gas tube.
1954 all matching. Arrow in in triangle in circle. Fancy zebra wood.

$200 each is normal except for the last one. 175 would sell them fast
Might get a couple extra bucks for the last one because its an Izzy with what ever zebra wood is on it. $50 dollars more tops but really only expect $225
It depends if it's a collector's SKS or just a shooter.

Might be a hard lesson but I paid more than that out the gate and the quality of recent imports appears to be falling. ...?
Your prices are low ball for today's market. All those SKS rifles you linked were Chinese and from what I've seen junk mismatched quality and they still go for $220-$230
Russian BBQ mismatch rifles are going for around $250+
My stash and I are counting on it
Hell, look at the SVT-40, a year and a half ago they could be bought from retailers for $350 now you're lucky to find them under $600
It is a cheaply produced gun and it's been dumped on us to use for what? $200,- with a crate of ammo at the most while sellers try to inflate pricing because they don't move much anymore. Trying to rename the thing "Super Grade, Blued, Unissued...bla, bla... What a joke!
Super Grade and blued is what they should all be but 90% of the stuff out there is trash BBQ painted refurbs now. Good luck if you want a nice one.
Buy a refurb and strip the BBQ paint..... You find the rifle is heavily pitted so they paint it.
