What is a fair price for a basic Saiga 12?

Maybe 100 rounds through it. We bought it several years ago, before Obama, and I have no idea what a fair price to today's market it. We haven't done anything to add value to it, though it would come with 2 extra 10 round magazines. I"m talking a FTF sale, we live in the south.

Today?? I bet someone would trade a car for it if adds online for a G19 magazine are to be believed.

Depends if you want to price gouge or not. They were going for 600-700 a couple months ago. You could probably get over a thousand now. Actually, a couple months ago, I saw some nice converted ones going for about 800-900 on the S12 forum. Everything is selling higher right now.

I'm guessing prices will come right back down in a few months.

(I've got two S12's, one converted and with lots of good stuff on it. The other a little plainer. Love 'em. No plans to sell ANY of my guns).

That not too bad...Shoot it a few months and then turn it in to the .gov for a $2K tax credit for a $350 profit.

It's not gouging, there is no "fixed price" for any item in a free market. You can get a nice sum if you find the right person to buy it. While a normal sane person wouldn't pay what the asking prices here lately someone will and that is why CTD has used gi mags for $130!

HR 226 was just introduced:

State or local government (or political subdivision thereof) as
part of a Federal, State, or local public safety program to
reduce the number of privately owned weapons, on the election
of the taxpayer there shall be allowed as a credit against the
tax imposed by this chapter an amount equal to $2,000.
``(2) Year credit allowed.--The amount of the credit under
