I go to a local gun show that comes to town a few times a year. There is a dealer there that has been trying to sell a Chinese SKS with "extras" since I was about 14-15 (I'm in my early 30's) The gun costs $1000, it appears to be a standard Chinese SKS, not a bringback. Not sure what the extras are suppose to be.
I once bought a J.C. Higgins 20 ga bolt action in like 2002 that it had been sitting on the shelf for so long at the gunshop the tag had yellowed, I think it had been on the shelf about 5 years.
The same shop had a MAS 36/51 in this time frame on sale for $100, it didn't sell at $100 for a year or two. I had them call the seller and I offered $65, I was told he said "Hell no". It eventually sold,probably when inflation and the importation of these guns seemed to dry up and made the gun a better deal.
A local gunshop chain has had a Luger in a box missing pieces and reblued I think w/o grips with an asking price of $1500, consignor has not lowered price. Gun has been there since early 2007. This same shop has recently taken in a consignment Beretta 950bs .25acp at $400. Sounds like BS to me
