A semi-auto Ak47 is a $600 item, a full auto AK47 is $10, $12, $18 grand, depending on the time of day, alignement of the planets and desire of the owner to sell.
Hell a full auto M16 is about $10 grand on a normal day - I think Mac10's can be had fo rabout $8,000.

Thought I'd add that a decent Saiga AK47 "clone" with a stamped receiver will only cost you about $400. There are some mods done, such as the placement of the trigger.

It's also made at the Izhmash factory in Russia.
