How much is a Chinese SKS Paratrooper rifle with 420 rounds of ammo & 4 hi-cap magazines worth?

It has the folding stock, bayonet, 4 USA steel 30 round magazines, and 420 rounds of Sellier and Bellot 7.62x39 ammo.

Factoring in the high cost of ammunition, as well as the 4 high capacity magazines, how much money is this total package worth?

As the old story goes "It dependes on whether you are buying or selling". Seriously, is it Norinco or Polytech or some other manufactor? Is it a real para model with a shortened barrel or just one dressed up like a para. model with the folding stock. If/then norinco carries a little more value than the polytech but either should go in the $400 +- to $500 range depending on condition and temp. of the stock. If it was warm I wouldn't touch it. Any other manufact. would price less. Hope this helps
