Anyone here into firearms?

I'm no expert on SKS rifles, but I believe your Norinco has several things going for it. First, it's reputed to be one of the best quality SKS's. Secondly, they ceased being imported as a result of the assault weapons ban. And that dovetails into the third thing, which is that it's a sought-after collectible due to its rarity. It's the same situation as the HK 94, for example. Those things will fetch $4-5k easily, if you can find them.

Edit: Btw, it is a big deal to have one of these because of their rarity, which is why you keep getting offers. I'd hang onto it if I were you. I have a friend whose father in law has a small stash of these in his safe for future trading.
