chevyman097 2,579 Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 So like most of us Ive always wanted the S12 duh. Im totally against selling guns, but I think ive talked my self into it for the sake of a S12. I was wondering if you guys could point me towards a good asking price. Tapco stock. surefire HG Hogue grip tapco trigger group. grip pod. Surefire light. DPH flash suppressor. those are the basics. I think it really needs to be refinished. But Ive been offered 800 by a friend. Even though I think thats a bit high. I know he wants to do me a favor and he has the money, it wont hurt his pocket book by all means lol. it has been cleaned regularly and other than my jihadi shooting style its been taken care of lol. it does make me sad to think of getting rid of her..... But then I think of how much fun ill have with an S12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
superA 289 Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 If you want a S12 go for it. Save up money later and get another 7.62x39. I don't like getting rid of guns much either but I will if the occasion calls for it. I recently traded my G23 for a very good condition Marlin 39A 1979 model. I have always wanted a 39A and G23's are a dime a dozen. I was hesitant at first but after I made the trade I had no regrets. I love that 39A. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bigsal 757 Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 realistically this configuration will bring $380-480. I sold a basic configuration earlier this year for $350.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chevyman097 2,579 Posted January 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 (edited) I was thinking if you add in the accessories(light and grip pod), around 5ish. But thats just me. As for the fella giving me an offer for 800....Am I really that wrong if I took it? I mean it may not be worth it to some one else. But i think of it like a house or car. If some one comes up and gives you an offer and its much more than its book value. Would you not take it? Dont get me wrong, im not the kind of person that is out to rip anyone off...its just hard not to say hell ya when some one gives you such a nice offer on some t hing.

hutchsaiga 93 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Save a little and get an s12 and another x39. Convert them both when you can get a little bit more moolah put away. If your buddy is willing and knows the value I would take it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BuffetDestroyer 969 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Bigsal is right on that you will be lucky to get $500 for this setup on the open market. If this was converted by one of our named vendors, you might be able to get a premium for it. Unfortunately conversions done yourself are usually worth the price of the gun plus half of the cost of the conversion parts (give or take). All the accessories (stocks, lights, grips, etc.) that we think are cool are worth more individually than on a gun if you are going to sell it. One person's dream configuration has another man's base gun and 4 lbs. of garbage. If you like this configuration, it is going to cost you a lot more to replace it. Also, look at taking a loss unless you sell to a buddy. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VaiFanatic90 360 Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 I'd say it's worth at least two in the bush. But yeah, $350-450 at the most. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stnls1911 55 Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Chevyman, I would sell it to my friend if it was me. With the exception of forum members here, few people would appreciate a 922r compliant, restored Saiga. People in my area don't know a Saiga from a WASR-10, except where I bought my Saiga at.

That's terrible people need to take time and learn the differences in variants of AKs. But no one seems to like to make an informed decision these days. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GregM1 241 Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 realistically this configuration will bring $380-480. I sold a basic configuration earlier this year for $350.... that may be the right price for some online areas but on Texas gun trader, you could most likely fetch $500 - 600. More people without full knowlege of what they are buying. A good tactical set up usually goes well there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
supertex 242 Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 realistically this configuration will bring $380-480. I sold a basic configuration earlier this year for $350.... i want one in 5.45 , anyone? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
