I saw a Russkie 1950 SKS on consignment for at a local gun shop for $999. If it sells I may have to put mine up, but I like it too much!
That kind of return on the dollar would tempt me. But I think I'll keep mine. They are good for feral hogs after I modifed the back sight to a peep sight instead of the notch sight.

I remember when SKS's were selling for $65 apiece at Jim's Gun Shop outside of Ft Bragg in the 90's.
