Title: GB listings for April, 2016 - Romanian
Post by: running-man on May 01, 2016, 08:32:26 PM
Only 3 Romys 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: $325.00
Avg. Sale Price: $353.33
Highest Sale Price: $400.00
As-Issued Avg. Price: $N/A

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

Wait wait wait....   Same gun sold twice by same seller in two separate auctions?

See that's the thing, when it's clearly the same gun with the exact same S/N, I'll just delete the earlier auction and assume that something fell through.  This one is so horsetrashy that I can't tell S/N and it may be that he's just selling using stock photos or something.   Maybe I should just bag that first one and go with the sale that came later?  Two different buyers.  This was a really disappointing month for Romanian M56s!  cry1

That was the same gun. I hit the buy it now but when the seller gave a better description and pics he gave me the option of cancelling the sale with no bad feed back. The first auction didn't mention the force matched parts. It still wasn't bad for $400 but it wasn't better than the one I have. For 325 someone got a good deal.
