RPK value/trade value

Can anyone give me a ballpark idea of what the current value/trade value is on a Yugo M72 RPK? It is a Century build, it is very solid, not abused.I have seen this same gun it seems like for anywhere from $600 up to the mid-high $800 range.

After the election the price has shot up on these. These were in the 550 range before, and now they seem to have gone up anywhere between 2-400 dollars. Pretty crazy.

Yeah, i got this one right after the election and I came out fair with what I gave for it. I had mentioned wanting to possibly trade for an AR and I had someone asking about the trade value of it and I wasn't real sure what to tell them. I am just getting into the scene and lack the knowledge of most members.

So are you really seeing these things range from from $650-$950?!

I am. That is the going rate these days.

They are all over the place for those prices. Pretty amazing being I paid 950 for my Bulgarian RPK74 the day after election day and have already seen them go for 1800-2000 since then.

This one went for $900

Wow! Thats some serious profit gain! These RPK's are some of the harder to come by of tha AK variants aren't they?

I don't know if these were necessarily harder to come by in the past, other than now people are buying them. I believe there was a large # of these kits brought in a few years back. I remember buying them for pretty cheap. I think 90% of the jump has to do with the buying frenzy being caused by the panic of the pending administration. There isn't a one of them, elected or appointed that is any friend to the second amendment.

I paid $699 for mine the Friday before the election. The Friday after the election they were $899 at the same store.

Well, I got this one about 3 days after the election for $600 + tax and when I got home I saw one on Gunbroker.com that had just went for $900.

Sonofabitch!

I should have bought two and flipped one. Free RPK.

Yeah me too. Hind sight is 20/20!

I paid 625 OTD for this one yesterday. I figured that was the market, it appears that maybe it was a good buy.
