GB listings for May, 2016 - Romanian

[running-man]

4 Romys this month.  I still consider the Romy to be the best value in SKSs today.  They are built like tanks, even if they trend a bit uglier then their brethren.

Lowest Sale Price: $400.00
Avg. Sale Price: $424.00
Highest Sale Price: $480.00
As-Issued Avg. Price: $N/A

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!

558768196   SKS Carbine, Romanian Model 56   19   $416.00    Uncertain   Uncertain   Uncertain   I sure hope that the North Cape guys write their SKS books better than they list their auctions.  Man this is a horsetrash auction.  Embarrassing horsetrash auction.  I'd go so far as to say ridiculously embarrassing horsetrash auction.  Poyer and Keyhaya should be ashamed to have their name even associated with this one, I know I would be...
559429684   SKS ROMANIA RUGIR ROMANIA 1957   1   $400.00    Uncertain   Bubba   Uncertain   Surprising that this one sold this high.
560167671   Romanian SKS for sale!   1   $400.00    1959   Uncertain   Good   Wish they would have shown a good shot of the left side.  Probably a decent buy at $400 though.

Eww......the Jedi mind trick.. Kinda like having that magic moment and then your mother in law walks in.  

All matching except for bolt and dust cover.

 

It's "ALL" matching "except" the bolt and dust cover..................... Ain't it shorter just to say, it has two mismatched parts. Damn contradictory statements, all matching except.... uhhh, no it's mismatched.

Say it, MISMATCHED!! It's not difficult...misˈmaCH, you can do it, look at your self trying to say the word, almost there, so close, you can do it you helmet wearing crayon eating drooling window licker.

Don't like the horrible scary word, MISMATCHED  , well we got.....ill-assorted, ill-matched, incongruous, unsuited, incompatible, inconsistent, at odds, out of keeping, clashing, dissimilar, unalike, different, at variance, disparate, unrelated, divergent, contrasting and on and on.

True enough.  A single low resolution picture, for crying out loud?!  I guess you were expected to flip through your copy of the book to look for more pics

Better pics of more Romanians on sksguide.com.   More nformation also.

BIN was $325, final price was $416.  I guess a well educated "The SKS Carbine" reader snagged this one?  All I can do is shake my head and laugh.  No wonder SKS collecting is in the state that it's in!
