Izzy refurb value?
« on: July 05, 2012, 06:47:12 AM »
Just curious. I saw a pretty nice Izzy refurb on GB. Nice looking gun, buy it now was $450 which is what it went for yesterday, hopefully a member here got it. I don't have the cash now so I was not looking to buy, just window shopping. I know what original Izzy's can go for but wondered if $450 for a clean looking Izzy refurb seemed like a good price.

I'm only asking to educate myself so if I ever saw another one like that I would know if that is a fair price.

With Tula refurbs fetching similar money at times, you have to ask yourself, "Wouldn't I rather have an Izhevsk at the same price?"
