Default Anybody familiar with these AK's?

Would these be a good value? Buy or don't buy? What do you think?

Read the description carefully, they are made to "look like" Polytech rifles.

They are in no way shape or form Polytech rifles, they aren't even Chinese except for the furniture scrounged up to place on it. They are Romanian "G" kits with Chinese furniture and a bayonet.

Nothing wrong with Romanian "G" kit builds, but that is all that that rifle is. There is a reserve on that auction, and I'm betting he's trying to sucker new to AK platform people to buy it.

Real Polytechs and Norincos start at $600 and up, sometimes exceeding $1k for pre ban. Romanian rifles will always be $300-$400 (until the ban), add a little more for this one since it does have Chinese furniture haha.

ETA after seeing Rocketfoot's post:

Dimples are good, but that's only because they are using Armory USA receivers, which are good, but not as popular as Nodak Spud/DCI receivers.
