I had one sks with a slightly bent firing pin...never had a slam fire, but did experience a few light strikes. About $4 and a few minutes work and a new firing pin solved that problem. The sks is very simple to work on.

Re: New (to me) Yugo SKS
the old SKS design is one of the most user friendly designs ever put into production. With just your bare hands and a hard nose 7.62x39 round, you can strip down a Yogo to a pile of parts for "deep cleaning" in just a few short minutes (not considering the spring loaded bayo in the take down). Very reliable, moderately accurate, and heavy enough to use for a club on a buffalo. The bayo is pretty useful as a kick stand too 
Not sure what the going rate is now, but having the original cleaning kit in the buttstock trapdoor used to add $25-30 to the value.
