An old myth.

In Yemen, they are bringing $1,200, as quoted by Forbes, in the article.

In Iraq, they are bringing $600. Around the world, the price is about $500.

No doubt, in a few places with surplus AKs, you can get them cheap, on a deal.

A recent article about the illegal gun trade in Nigeria put the price for black market AKs at over $1,330.
