Tell him the Chinese and Russians are better than the Yugoslav, and are in higher demand. I would rather have an Sks than a 22 pistol, imo.

If he had a higher end one I think I would jump on the trade. The pistol is a 9mm though. Lol
I honestly believe I could get $600 for the walther (personal sale or auction). I think at most the sks is worth maybe $500. With a few hundred rounds of ammo. I guess its not a bad trade. Idk I'm on the fence.

Any input from our higher ups?

The Walther's worth more, AFAIK.

The real question here is the condition of the SKS.

IMO, the SKS owner should cough up 200$ and some

ammo if the SKS is in less than Very Good condition,

100 and some ammo if it's in Very Good condition, with

all matching serials.

Wow I didn't think the trade values were that far off. The walther is in perfect condition and has night sights. The sks is decent and in a tapco stock so I'm assuming its been worked over.

Where I live in Ga. the SKS Norinco or Yugo sells in good used condition for $250.00 to $300.00. The folding stock will add $50.00 and the conversion clip will add $20.00 + 200 rnds ammo = $40.00 for a total of $360.00 to $410.00. Extra clips ??? Ever what you'll pay.
Now the P99 has a book value in VG @ $550.00....but they sell for $350.00 around here...because the more popular S&W 99 is the same gun made by Walther, except the slide and barrel sales for $300.00 to $350.00 in VG condition. If it wasn't for Bond 007, the Walthers wouldn't even be heard of.
Smith has come out with some M&P's and VE's that are more desireable than the old guns and at cheaper prices. Walthers remind me of a Range Rover compared to a Jeep. One is just more expensive .
I have owned two walthers for about 30 + years and never could hit sqwat with them, but they are pretty and my wife likes pretty stuff, so I keep them.

In my opinion, I would keep trying to sell the P99...Was it not PT Barnum that said " A sucker is born every minute". Some sucker will buy it sooner or later.
