Poor little pawn shop Slavia 618

[Bolillo]

Would you have bought this and tried to restore it? They turned down $25.00. If I knew how to work on it maybe I'd give more but haven't been able to make a broken gun shoot yet. I have been able to make a gun that shot not shoot anymore though so you see my hesitation.

$70 is far too much for that beat up old relic.

I would probably give that little honey anything she wants" maybe a pic of the honey?

I thought so. The guy there said they sell on the internet for close to $200.00. I said I bet they don't look like that.

I wonder if having pretty girls work in pawn shops is some type of marketing strategy.

No worse than paying new retail for a beat-to-hell Yugo "automobile", I suppose. "To each is own"...

But to answer your question, "Are you nuts?"

For 25 bucks you can get almost five gallons of gas for your Yugo.

There is a better one on eBay for $65. Add sales tax and shipping it would run $95+. If you watch eBay closely you will get one much cheaper. They have the one you are looking at priced as if it were in nice condition. They will come down eventually. The tag says bb’s only. Is the rifling gone? Maybe they don’t know anything about it. It’s worth $40 max. They are very easy and fun to work on. If you get serious about it bring a rod and patch and check the rifling for rust.

Agreed, $70 seems to be typical high ask common at pawn shops. You can get lucky. I was on the hunt for a gun for my neighbor and found a Diana M34 in .22 complete with garbage scope and factory one piece mount, date of manufacture 2018, that looked almost new except for 3 bb sized spots of surface rust. Walked it out the door for $150 cash. Got it home and it was dieseling badly and all over the place. The oil burning off had that smell I remembered from 1998 when I bought my 34 new. Holy crap he got a new M34 on the cheap. You can get deals in pawn shops but $70 for that one, I would pass. Let it sit there a few months and offer $30 cash.

They look like they are really high on everything

They're high on something, that's for sure. I looked up the Value of the 1989 Colt King Cobra and it's around $7-800 - NOT $2K+.

And I thought mine looked bad! I officially now only have the second-worst 618.

 

[willy]

Could you have her hold the gun?then i can Deeside? pretty please"

BB say 65.00 in 100% so 100.00 in 100% maybe just because someone is stupid enough to pay 200.00 for one doesn't mean it is worth it
2 IZH 53M's sold for around and over 500.00 but only worth 100.00 to 125.00 tops NOS and now everyone is trying to sell there at that price and still in Europe they are 80 euros

REAL TRUE STORY . A Yugo was parked on the lakeshore street parking in down town Chicago , window down 1/2 way . sat there two weeks with the key on the seat in plain sight . nobody stole it , nobody even took the new tires . Was on the nightly news

Perhaps it was manual?

Good point, they call a manual transmission the "Millennial anti theft device"

Yeah it wasn't even a joke, I think that happened a few times, and stories like that show up in "dumbest criminals" lists don't they.

I have a first and second variant of the 618. They are in excellent condition. Either is worth max $125

They are great shooting little youth springers.
