Pre-ban PolyTech AK-47S with underfolding wire stock, oak furniture, and milled reciever for about $750. Probably 90% condition.
Edit: BTW, it's a WONDERFUL weapon, and I'd highly reccommend it for use in the US military if they'd acutally listen to me. Pretty accurate too.0 -
yes 
bubbed but free . i do wish it had not been altered but i will not ever sell.0 -
Not that it's worth much,but I got Daisy Model 2202 Legacy w,4x Bushnell,all in 99.9% condition for $50 a while back 'cause the kid workin' the counter that day at the pawn shop thought it was a pellet gun.

I have bought a lot of guns at what I would consider good prices. But I have never really gotten what i would consider a steal. I did buy an Enfield #4 MKI at auction last year for $35. 0 -
Colt Diamondback 4"---excellent condition---with holster---about 3-4 years ago for $225.00. Still have it and have never fired it. 0 -

Found the above FEG SA 85M at a gun store. Guy didn't know what he had and I think I remember paying about $300 for it. Way cheap, and is like new.0 -

Got a real nice Savage 99 right here on GB. Un-refinished, with vintage Weaver scope and peep sight for $365. Bore is excellent, some blueing wear and a few dings in stock. I couldn't believe it and suspected some hidden problem, but none found. This may not be a steal, but have you seen what some of these guns are bringing? 0 -
was at a gun show, this guy walking around wanted to sell his AR-15 Sporter Match HBAR for $1500 (which seemed about the going rate at the time, during the ban) I was like ok... shortly thereafter, colt went out of business, I was at a gun shop and saw one on the wall exactly like it for $2850. I thought I better hang on to this...!
then the ban went away, a few years passed, and I only got $460 for the lower and $355 for the upper. feh.0 -
Mod. 42 Winchester, 80%, $50, and not a penny less![8D] 0 -

Damn Henry! Like an elephant you never forget! I was getting ready to post the same gun, and BAM!, there it was already!
I'm gonna keep my eye on you...0 -
I have a friend of mine that is a lot older, something of a father figure, if you will. He has a real nice collection of different guns and knives. He's been selling them to me for the past year, about five or so a month, for almost what he gave for them over twenty years ago. As a matter of fact, got a Case Bowie knife from him today, for WAY under market value.[:)] He is very knowledgeable of the value of firearms and knifes, also. 0
