Do the trade, or not?
The Romy is beautiful, perfect metal, and it's in a dark wood stck, ALL numbers matching. Thoughts?

Getting Sport in morning. I have one as is, but I was curious if I should trade it for the Romy sks.im confused. are you getting the SKS or the sport?
id take the sport over a sks any day.
All numbers matching though?Rom Sks can be had for well under 500
M&P sport 600 to 700
Am i missing something?
I say. Nyet!
Good reasoning. I'm a shooter first, hunter always, a collector I am not.Getting it to shoot or collect? Resell in a couple years? Problem is, if you're thinking investment, you're putting yourself in a hole already. He's making $100 off you. Now if the price rises in a year you might be breaking even, but who is to say Sports are going to stay at $600? Right now their prices are rising some too, looks like most are $640 or more. Eventually the SKS will be worth more, but I think it'll likely be a few years. Buy low, sell high: You're not buying low.
Now, YOU really want it to add to your collection, go for it. D
I'm not. Told the guy he was too high. He wanted a straight up deal. I don't think so. Anyway, I still have it, sold the older one, now I have a plain Jane Sport. Plan on keepin it simple with just a scope for varmint/deer duty. Sks, maybe some other time.I hate SKS's !.... Why anyone would pay $0.05 for one is beyond me let alone trade one of best value ARs available for it :banghead:

There was a time, in college and law school when I was a student and living on a student's budget (ie. very tight). I didn't have money to really invest in getting a modern, fighting rifle.
But now the modern, current production, factory supported rifle costs a hundred more than what this guy wants for his "rare" SKS.
$175 against a $600 rifle, or $500 vs a $600 rifle.
It's not the same dilemma.
And the math does not work out very well for anyone trying to sell an SKS for >$300.
