I'm no help on the current prices for a decent T-53.
What I can tell you is back in 2013 Century had U-Fix-Em's for $60 so I bought two for long term project guns. As expected the stocks were trashed and they were missing parts.
It took me a few months to restore them both to shooting condition, but the experience was worth it.
Next time you can make it to a Hooligan Shoot I'll make sure they are there for you to shoot...

traditionally, the Type 53 Mosin was less in price than the Russian M44
Type 53 bores can be anywhere from frosty and worn down to pretty good.
Many Type 53 rifles will have a mismatched bolt with the rest matching.
The one thing I have seen in Type 53 mosins is that they won't be all refurbished and refinished.
Macodoc published a "rejuvinize" thread to bring them back to where they would have been before stored improperly (some got this faded white haze on them).
I like mine cause the patina on them was very real and unlike alot of russian mosins can be more like how they were when last issued.
That's one of the reasons I got one of the Albanian M44 (Russian made) mosins when they were available for a short time.

I have three of them currently. Asking because I'm thinking of offloading one of them to help the wife get over me buying another rifle

That's a dangerous precedent for a newlywed to set
Yes but the bank accounts are now merged so I can't help it now

BIG mistake! What's hers is hers an what's yours is hers NOW!
Get your own account for fun money. If you can have $50 (more is better) a pay deposited in it you set.
Agreed 100%

Oh, OK.
Actually, a clever move.
Unload a Surplus T53 (bought previously as bait perhaps?), and proclaim the sacrifice, only to make room for whatever (something nicer than a T53 I assume)Brilliant really.
Not a sacrifice, but an upgrade, and all without hearing about adding "another gun". Just a switch.

Maybe that was part of the plan. Buy cheap let inflate slightly then sacrifice to upgrade.
