$200 and a bit seems to be about the going price for a $150 Mosin with uncommon markings or features.

If you like it and want it, go ahead and get it. You won't make any money on it later on, but buy it to enjoy it.

I paid $300 for a nice all-matching 1929 Tula a few weeks ago, I know I could have found one for less, but there it was, and I had to have it.

There's a 1917, finish about gone, not matching, at a local shop here, for $200, it seems high to me, but I may buy it next month if it's still there because I like the Czarist stamping on the receiver.
