    question on trade value

    I have been going thru some boxes and have come up with stuff I no longer need. So wondering what a fair trade value would be.
    1st I have 11 ak 30 round mags. 8 are rib backed 3 are smooth. all have very little use.
    2nd I have a none numbers matching stg58 parts kit with extra hand guards and one 20 rounder. almost no finish on the out side but a nice shiny bore.
    been so long since I have been in this game I am way out of touch with pricing.

    thanks gremlin

    That is high on the mags...

    Aim, Tiger (was I.O.), J&G, Classic have had spine back euros on sale in the $9.99 to $12.00 range lately. Gun show pricing is higher, $15 to $20. The Chinese mags about $5 more unless they are Polytech then they are double....

    FAL kits have been all over the place... with the barrel import ban, any kit brings about $150 more with the barrel.

    We found out what "dealing" with progressive lefties is all about. Our side gives up something, they give up nothing and the progressives come back in a month or a year and want us to give up more... rinse and repeat...

    WOW its been a while huh? You cant even buy a fal barrel for $150 these days... and mags well depends on where you sell them I guess. These are not inflated prices I paid 500 for a mint imbel kit 3years ago and then I fucked up the barrel and had to buy another that I found on fal files that was $175 from a stg58 kit.

    Polish polymer $7.95

    They had either steel or polymer, 4 in a pouch with cleaning kit for $39.95 a month or so back.

    I did go looking and others are asking more like $15 to J&G's high of $27.95...

    Yea, I remember the $69 "G" kits and AMP65 kits.... and Sportsman's Guide $3.38 surplus AK mags...

    I think we bought G3 mags for $1 and new type flectarn pouches for $0.50 or a $1 from I.O. just 4 or 5 years ago...

    Just ten years ago I bought E. German AK74 bakelite mags for something like $1 each...
