I have a IZH 35 that I am thinking about selling, anyone know what they are going for now? Thanks

My opinion is worth exactly what it cost you, but my guess is that if you list it at $450 you'll sell it immediately, and if you list it at $550 you might wait for a while to find a buyer. I bought one off of TT about 6 months ago, after it sat in the "for sale" section for a few weeks at $550. You might do better listing it on GunBroker.

Recent GunBroker sales 615 - 650. A couple of no-sales nearer to $700.

It's a thin market; you need patience while waiting for a buyer.

A used IZH-35 (a good gun by the way) is here between 100 and 250 Euros.

I may as well hang onto mine, then.

As far as I know, it is also very difficult to get IZH parts in the US (and elsewhere) due to sanctions against the Russians. I certainly wouldn't buy one at any price unless I was sure I could get parts.

A perfect illustration of the deleterious effects of government intervention in markets or interference with trade. Neither buyers nor sellers can access the best market.

I sold a pair of IZH35M pistols not too long ago. One purchased new in 2001 that had ~12k rounds through it. The other purchased new in 2002 that had ~5k rounds through it. New I paid $410 each. Sold the pair for $400 each. Reason sold, lack of parts availability in the USA.

Ebay works great if you are willing to wait for the shipment from Russia, lots of parts and reasonable prices.

Note:

The ebay link shows lots of parts for Izh 46, which is an air pistol. Russian firearm parts are embargoed and - if you can actually order them - will be seized by US Customs. After that, good luck getting your parts or your money back.

I know even the repair shops that work on IZH-46's have had trouble getting parts for quite a few years. I assumed that the embargo included air gun parts as well, although I think it was difficult even before the embargo went into effect.

A lot depends of how artistic the shipper is about labeling the customs declaration. If the screw/pins & springs come in as "machine parts", they might get through. If they get labeled 'air gun parts", it's bound to cause headaches.

My bad, I should learn how to read :-)
Sorry
