[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Fair price for a Romanian SAR-1.

Posted: 8/21/2004 8:42:21 PM EDT

Well, I'm looking at selling my SAR-1 to fund the purchase of a Vector Uzi. I've put a lot of thought into it, and decided to do it.
What with my last year at PSU coming up, I don't have a lot of cash, so I'm getting rid of the AK.

I might end up selling it to one of my friends, or just tossing it on the EE, but despite the fact I could use every dime I can squeeze out of it, I don't want to rip off a friend, or look like a jackass on the EE. I know what I paid for it last year, but what would be about market value now?

It's a standard 2003 SAR-1 with a 40, 10, sling and a cleaning kit I never managed to open.

I would imagine the $300-350 range.

new ones are selling for 290 or so right now, used 250-300 depending on condition.

Maybe WASR10's

Me thinks, in about three weeks, there will be mucho SARs available with evil features, probably for under $300.

Now I would say $400...Three weeks from now

That is my thinking exactly. I should have said so in my first post in this thread. If you are sure you want to get rid if it, do it as soon as possible, if at all possible before SEP 13th, other wise you may end up taking a serious hit on value (trying to sell a post ban rifle when there are plenty of preban types available all of the sudden).

These people that say SARs are available for under $300... Well, maybe from individuals selling their firearms, but no more.

Sorry, these under $300 SARs are indeed not SARs, but WASRs. I got my SAR-1 from SOG for $339. Now, I have seen this price jump up to $380 on similar dealers catalogs.

Used? These go even higher, actually. Expect most SAR-1s to be in the high $300 low $400 range. It's just the law of supply and demand.

Keep your eye out, I have a feeling they will be all over the place around the middle of next month.
