I know squat about AKs, school me on one

I've been offered a Romanian Cugir WASR 10 as part of a deal, what's it worth?

Depending on condition and frills, $800-$1000 would be a ballpark price in today's world. (5yrs ago $600 tops)

Any chance you can take it to the range and shoot a magazine through it before buying it? Some of the reassembler/builder/importers, had a reputation for canting gas blocks or otherwise iffy quality control. Not a problem with the rifle or the parts kit used to make them, so there isn't really and easy way to know until you put a few rounds down range.

AKs certainly have out priced ARs over the years. During the years of cheap surplus ammunition, this made more sense to me, but now that 7.62 and 5.45 spam cans have gotten harder to find and pricey when found, ARs certainly seem to be a better bargain, IMO.
