One guy I knew in high school had a TM MP5 that his grandma brought him from Hong Kong, he had killed the battery when he was a kid (he got it for his 10th birthday or something) and he thought it was useless. He offered to sell it to me for $100 not knowing what it was or what it was worth. Of course that was before I knew what airsoft was so I thought that price was way to high. To this day I have been trying to contact him and get that gun with no success.
So it is possible to get a working gun for $50-100 if someone has it and doesnt know what its worth. Chances are next to none, but possible.
I'd still check around to make sure someone hasnt had one stolen 8-)
