Valmet prices vary quite a bit depending upon where you are. In the past year I have purchased three Valmets.
First one was a Model 71s plastic stock in 5.56mm for $825. Came with one original Valmet 30 round mag and the original Valmet green leather sling. Condition is a solid 99% to mint.

Second one was a Model 76w wood stock in 5.56mm. Came with one original Valmet 30 round and one 15 round mags, original Valmet scope mount system, and was in the original box. Price was $1195. An ACE folder has since been installed on the gun.

You can find deals out there. It seems like people are not buying as quickly as they were. Money must be getting tighter. All the above prices were within the past year. Two of the above prices were within the last two months. I hope this helps you!
