I've been out of the loop when it comes to guns, but I'm back in and I'm thinking of getting a new gun and selling my Romanian WASR-10
I live in MAss if that matters.
The reason I'm asking about this here is because I bought this rifle with two 30 round magazines for around $350. The other day I stopped by the gun store and they had some form of AK-47 clone for around $1000. I called and asked what I could get for my WASR-10 on consignment and the gun store employee told me probably around $700.
I'm wondering if there's something I don't know. Why has the price gone up so drastically? Should I hold on to this thing? I told the guy I bought it for 350 from his shop, and he tells me he can sell it for over 700, even though he can't sell the magazines.
I'd like to sell the rifle, but frankly, I'd probably have already brought it down there if he said it'd sell for $350.. but the fact that it's gone up in value so drastically makes me want to find out if it's likely to continue going up, or if it's part of this panic that resulted in all the ammo disappearing from shops.. because in that case, I'd imagine the price will be going right back down soon.
Can anyone shed some light on the topic?
