Speaking of Yugo Mausers, Classic arms is offering a damn pretty one for $250 in their current sale. Its not as shiny as Bills, but real close.

The only major differences are that the Yugo's are new production, though still C&R eligible, and they do not have the turned down bolt handles. (easily remedied )

Mosin-Nagants, (and, for that matter, mausers...) go for anywhere <$100 to as much as you would ever care to spend.  The question is, how does it stack up against what you NEED.  It's just one of those things.  I remember pics from the 70's oil-embargo days of all kinds of cars and electronics in all of the homes where there were no roads or electricity JUST to prove the "petro-affluence" of the Middle-East residents...

I have a very ugly M-91/30 that will out-shoot me to 500m.  US$99 with all the "stuff".  My brother has a VERY pretty one.  Some Tsarist model.  Paid almost $2K for it  No idea how it shoots..afraid to get it dirty.  AND..it is STILL a re-arsenalled piece.  Nothing "mint" or "unissued" about it!
