GB listings for December, 2016 - Romanian

[running-man]

3 Romys to end 2016.  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: $350.00
Avg. Sale Price: $412.33
Highest Sale Price: $450.00
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!

605442829   Romanian SKS 7.62x39 Auto Rifle w Blade Bayonet 56   15   $350.00    1958   Bubba   Fair   That is one heck of an interesting gun.  Clearly a fully chromed bayonet, man you simply don't see that very often at all!  I wonder if it was bubba'd in the Balkans or if it was done stateside  That IO import stamp is a brand new one for me too!!
600257373   Romanian SKS 7.62x39 NO RESERVE C&R OK Cugir M56   18   $437.00    1959   Refurbished   Good   Those iso angles in all the photos are terrible!  What happened to just showing details of the damn gun?
601779654   Romanian SKS, Pre Ban   1   $450.00    1959   Uncertain   Good   Horsetrashy auction…

I think that the Bolt Carrier and the Bayonet were taken off and buffed on a bench grinder/buffing wheel. Probably trying to give the old warhorse a little "bling"? The BC has definitely been buffed, anyway. Who knows where and why?
 
That poor stock has been through it.
