HI GUYS!!!!!

I know I've been MIA for quite some while now. Short version: Shit got complicated, very different and Priorities were changed. No worries though...all my goodies were always safetly lovingly locked up. I got some new stuff recently, but that is for a different thread.

This thread is about rare, sought-after and desirable AK and AKM magazines from around the world....A passion of mine by the way. Anyways, good news for you guys. I have to do some major liquiditing.....particulary my rare mags. Over the years, I would bet I've sold more than 100 magagzines to members here.. I see the feedback page is all crazy but last timne I was on here I had a score of over+100 with no negatives. So please I hope you feel you can deal in confidence.

So who can tell me the General going rate on a few specifics......like Bosnian Fleur Dy Lis in various condition ? How about a Bosnian Single Rib with no Fleur stamp or a minty Croatian Double Rib? Pristine Russian Slabsides....the old school Russian Originals. Never even inserted. Pristine Russian Bakelite, unissued to trench art. Lots of brand new Bulgarian Waffle Mags., Black, 30 and 40 rounders, never inserted. Never issued Molot 40 rounders. The prettiest ones i've seen.

I will be posting ads soon.......just wanted to get some opinions first.

Thanks guys appreciate it

From a buyer's perspective, going prices on mags are different depending on where you find them. Then the condition of them. Lot of times I see quite a span or average range any particular magazine is selling for or the asking price. I never thought I would buy an AK magazine for $100.......but I have (just one).
The Bakelites and the Bulgarian black waffle mags seem to be easier to find so the price range is good for those who are willing to search long enough and scrutinize the condition of them.

I would probably like a Russian slabside in excellent condition for $75 just to go next to my aluminum waffle. Circle 10 plums in 7.62x39 and/or 5.45x39. Maybe even one of the newer 103 mags. Just a few that I'm missing on having one of most variants of magazines for AKs. I'm a small time private collector when I see something I want and I have the funds. I've bought a bunch of mags from forum members here over the past few months and no matter how much I paid for them....I think I got great deals on all of them. I've also bought from online vendors when I can't find what I want here. I also do quite a bit of research and price comparisons before a mag purchase. Scrupulous that way to further my private collection.

Russian mag prices have plummeted because the market is saturated. Mag collecting is becoming a popular hobby though and specific mags are very hard to get since they are changing hands less and less. The "rare" stuff like plum waffles though, change hands constantly. I have several things I've really been trying to get my hands on, so I'm interested in what you have.
