My buddy had someone that wants to trade him a SKS Bullpup for a toolbox. Anybody know anything about these guns? Ballpark of what they are worth?
 
In looking at completed auctions on Gunbroker, sporterized SKS bullpups built using a SG Works bullpup stock kit seem to be running about $550 for black stocks, or $750-$800-ish for camouflage painted stock/rifle packages.

The SKS was produced by several different Countries. I have a Yugo [Yugoslavian] and it's awesome for what it is.

on average, they are worth [stock] anywhere from $100-225 depending on age, condition, chrome/no chrome lining and country of manufacture.

Depending on what stock he installed, he could have paid anywhere from $69 to $230 for 'common' hardware alone. If he went to RifleTech, he could have paid up to $675....and to me, that's a bit ridiculous.

You could probably consider the firearm to be a reasonable "worth" of approximately $350 provided it works. I'd make a day for the range and try it before buying it. If he has multiple magazines, load and shoot all of them. Fill them and shoot them.
 
An SKS is a good carbine, but they have little resale value, regardless of any add on stock. A quick run to the local pawn shop or gun store will confirm this. Usually, they will sell retail used at around $125 to $150, the last time I looked, maybe $200 (but that would be unusual, I believe).
