GB listings for May, 2017 - Russian

[running-man]

Russian SKS45s are the most sought after on the market right now.  In my opinion they will never be "rare", but they do get expensive, especially for low productions years, as-issued guns, or Izhevsk arsenal.

• # sold: 37
• Lowest Sale Price: $311.00
• Avg. Sale Price: $589.65
• Highest Sale Price: $814.09
• Tula Avg. Price: $582.97
• Izhevsk Avg. Price: $814.09
• As-Issued Avg. Price: $667.02

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!

Something's jacked up with the last listing.  It was this & didn't sell:
http://www.gunbroker.com/item/640159881

Then it was 'relisted' and turned into this:
http://www.gunbroker.com/item/646755668

One listing links to the next but it's clearly not the same gun.
