I was at the local gun show yesterday with the intention of buying a mosin myself... I managed to walk out with an SKS instead. But the mosins ranged from $90-120 out the door including a sling,toolkit and bayonet

A common Mosin Nagant 91/30 can cost between $80-$150 or so depending on the Armory mark, Tula vs Izhevsk, bore and stock condition and receiver type, round vs hexagonal.
The Sniper variant will cost a bit more as will the 2 popular Carbine models, M38 or M44.
In all cases matching serial numbers will add some dollars to the price.
Be prepared to work a bit to get your Mosin in range-worthy shape, these rifles have been stored in Cosmoline for decades and a thorough stripping down of all metal parts is needed to get the goo off.

It appears no one has mentioned the Finn Mosin-Nagants, e.g., the M39. These are widely considered to be the peak of Mosin development, at least as far as service rifle versions are concerned.
The Finn M-Ns are built up by the Finns on Imperial hex receivers, as a rule, with new barrels, stocks, sights, and in some cases, a tuned trigger.
The M39 is well worth seeking out.
Regards,
Walt

You're welcome! It ain't all that much of a living, but it does give me the excuse to have a lot of guns!
Back on topic; I've been skinnying down on my Mosins; the Finns (three M39s & an M27) will be the last to go...though that's not likely.
Regards,
Walt

And you are looking to collect? A shooter?
Simple 91/30, as shooters, can be had for @ $90 over the net.
Now, if you're looking to collect, you want to try to find a hex
receiver(more accurate and older) and matching SNs.
If you're looking for a carbine, the M44 is the cleanest, cheapest
and easiest you'll find, with nice punch, and insane muzzle blast.
A great truck or Boar gun.
The Finn M39 is arguably better,rarer, and more costly.
There are some very respectable collectibles out there. I
recently found a 1933 Tula Hex with all matching serials.

I've seen them for as low as $89.00 at Dunhams but they aren't in the best condition from what I seen at my local Dunhams
