We had 86 guns change hands this month.
Lowet Sale Price: $210.51
Avg. Sale Price: $342.90
Highest Sale Price: $700.00
As-Issued Avg. Sale Price: $348.79
I'm changing things up this month and listing these by the arsenal condition with secondary sorting by price. Amazingly, not a single DP/DB gun this month and zero M21s either. First month I can remember that we haven't had at least one of those three in the mix.
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

I assigned $400 to the SKS and $350 to the MAS. This one is a gun with a story and not much else going for it. This seller has sold quite a few other SKS carbines in the past and people may be paying a premium just to get items from him. The old adage of buy the gun not the story certainly applies here. This gun is rough. No idea how I could justify $400 for it to be honest.
