I got a buddy on his way over the needs money. He has an AK and all I know is it's a milled Century underfolder with black furniture. He wants $600. If I can get it for $550 should I, assuming its in good shape as he says? I dont know much about AK's so please help. and he got 4 unknown brand mags 3-30's 1-40's |
| That depends. I'm not aware of Century making a milled underfolder, as the recent Polish milled gun did not fold. However, if someone needs money to pay a bill, here's my thought. If someone paid $500 for a milled Legend years ago, & needs money today, then to offer him $500 is not ripping him off as he didn't lose a dime. How many things don't lose value after 20 years. If you desperately need cash you can't expect to take that Arsenal Classic & get $2000 for it, & if your friend paid $900 for an Arsenal Classic,& you know that, you wouldn't be a dirtbag to offer him the same $900 to get him out of a jam. What would a pawnshop offer him, $400? Whatever you call profit on an item that gains in value because of pre/post ban laws, item not made anymore, not allowed to be imported anymore, doesn't count when times are tough & you need money today. If you need money & have a month to wait & try to get the best price, that's fine. If you need money today, sell it for what you got into it. That way, at least you don't lose anything. $500 for any Century AK is plenty. GARY N4KVE |
