7 Romys going through GB this month. I still consider the Romy to be the best value in SKSs today. They are built like tanks, even if they trend a bit uglier then their brethren.
Lowest Sale Price: $265.00
Avg. Sale Price: $388.82
Highest Sale Price: $550.00
As-Issued Avg. Price: $499.99
Please let me know any feedback (good or bad) to these.
If you have an objection or observation to add to anything I've listed, by all means call it out. Let's look at it long and hard (I only look at each listing for a minute or two at most) and maybe everyone can learn a thing or two! thumb1

539933632 (http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=539933632) CUGIR ROMANIA MODEL 56 7.67x39 (SKS COPY) 21 $331.76 1958 Bubba Fair Lots of bid on this one with not a very large end price. Almost like people were daring the other to keep bidding just so they wouldn't have to take it home.
540823212 (http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=540823212) Romanian 1959 SKS 7.62x39 CAI matching numbers 14 $285.00 1959 Bubba Good Meh.
541018572 (http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=541018572) Romanian SKS 7.62x37 Hydro dipped / Cera coated 21 $305.00 Uncertain Bubba Uncertain Take a $400 to $500 gun, add $250 worth of Cerakote and Hydro Dipping and you get a $300 gun. Good job guys! Mercy me!
541391781 (http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=541391781) 1958 Romanian SKS 7.62x39mm Matching In Box CAI 1 $550.00 1958 Refurbished Good Nice gun w/ the original box. Even though it's restampted, the wood is in pretty nice shape.
541922805 (http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=541922805) ROMANIAN CUGIR SKS 1959 7.62X39MM 7.62 X 39 15 $485.00 1959 Refurbished Good Decent enough looking Romy here. Refurbed stock really limits the upside potential though.
542893505 (http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=542893505) CUGIR ROMANIAN TYPE 56 SKS NUMBERS MATCHING 1 $499.99 1959 As-Issued Good It's hard to tell with 100% certainty, but I think the stock finish on this one is legit. If so, this was a steal.
543485794 (http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=543485794) * Romarm Cugir model 56 SKS 7.62x39 semi rifle * 16 $265.00 Uncertain Bubba Fair Meh.

Net: -$214.97
Laugh Jon, exactly! chuckles1
Honestly though I'm in awe at this listing. Now whether it's awe inspired from the awesomeness of that gun itself or awe from the sheer audacity of bubba thinking that doing *that* to a firearm somehow makes it more desirable I don't rightly know.
That one is right up there with Saddam Hussein's 18K gold plated AKs.

Jon, thank you for providing proper illustration to supplement RM's barren description. A rifle like that deserves at least a full paragraph.
Work on it, RM.
Now please get agent J to hit me with the noisy cricket.
