GB listings for January, 2018 - Albanian

[running-man]

Albanians and Romaninans are the only listings we will have going forward in 2018.  Everything else is just too hard to maintain.

Here are the Albanian SKS 561s for this month.

• # sold: 8
• Lowest Sale Price: $456.00
• Avg. Sale Price: $760.84
• Highest Sale Price: $1,281.00
• As-Issued Avg. Price: $666.00

Please let me know any feedback (good or bad) to these.

If you have an objection or observation to add to anything I've listed, by all means call it out.  Let's look at it long and hard (I only look at each listing for a minute or two at most) and maybe everyone can learn a thing or two!

Item Link | Description |# Bids | Final Price | Arsenal Condition | Current Condition | RM's Notes

• 736582023 | SKS ALBANIA EARLY SIMONOV DESIGN | 15 | $666.00  | As-Issued | Fair | Nice gun, too bad the stock isn't in a bit better shape, it would have gone >$1k if so.
• 733859361 | SKS Gramsh Albania 7.62x39 bayonet | 2 | $460.00  | Bubba | Fair | Poor Alby.
• 741467289 | Albanian SKS Carbine, Rare and Very Nice. | 1 | $825.00  | Refurbished | Good | Another nice one.  How hard is it to find a true all matching Alby and not one that's "all matching but..."
• 737602710 | Rare 1978 Albanian SKS cal 7.62x39 | 8 | $631.00  | Refurbished | Good | That's a beauty, real shame about the blank cover.
• 736671955 | Albanian Gramsh Arsenal SKS W/ Bayonet 7.62x39 | 13 | $498.00  | Refurbished | Good | Chinese TG's don't belong on an Albanian!  Nice enough gun otherwise, but not really that collectable with only two matching parts.
• 740207960 | RARE Albanian SKS *Nearly Matching Numbers* NO RES | 14 | $456.00  | Refurbished | Good | Too bad about the mismatch.  "Nearly matching".  That's a new one!
• 736096897 | RARE Albanian SKS Matching 1977 | 7 | $1,281.00  | Uncertain | Good | No stock S/N photo, can't say it's as-issued (or even matching for that matter).
• 740672830 | Albanian SKS Number matching unissued | 9 | $1,269.69  | Uncertain | Good | Nice gun, but photos are terrible.  Can't see the stock well enough to determine if it is as-issued or not.
