The SKS isn't an assault rifle, although some of the Chinese variations (such as the SKS-M and SKS-D) do meet the criteria for the definition of a "civilian assault weapon" by BATFE regulations.
Although China was prohibited from further arms sales in the US in 1994, the Type 56 carbine (Chinese designation for the SKS) is still pretty widespread, and can still be found at gun shops, gun shows, pawn shops, online gun auction sites, etc.

No. PA does not require gun registration- and the SKS is not an assault rifle- it is a semi auto rifle with a fixed magazine.
The SKS is not an assault rifle, nor even a BATFE-defined "civilian assault weapon". And no, a permit is not required.
$125.00 to $225.00 condition and matching numbers on the parts has an effect on price .
The SKS isn't an assault rifle, and the value may range from $100 to over $1000, depending on specifics.
Priceless, since a true SKS assault rifle would be a prototype only most likely. The SKS fires semi-automatically and does not have provision for full auto fire. If you have a normal run of the mill Chinese SKS it is worth 100-400 or so depenidng on condition, box, accessories, etc..
The SKS isn't an assault rifle, either by the BATFE's definition, or by the actual definition. Value is going to be dependent on exact model - the Chinese made several variations of the SKS. Depnding om condition, with the missing magazine (not clip), and assuming you have the basic Type 56 carbine in good working order, you could expect between $120 - $200 for it.

The SKS isn't an assault rifle, and doesn't even meet the BATFE's definition of a so-called "assault weapon". The value is going to be dependent on what model you have. If you have a basic Type 56 carbine, you're probably looking at $250 - $350. Even though importation of rifles and handguns from China has ceased, these can still be found pretty easily, and haven't seen a significant increase in value because of it. The detachable magazine SKS-D and SKS-M fetch a bit more - now you're looking in the $450 - $600 range. Since the Chinese SKS is not a C&R rifle, you're not losing value by having an aftermarket stock on it.
Assault rifle is a legal term, and laws vary place to place. Under MOST of them, it is a centerfire semi-auto rifle larger than 22 caliber, with a removeable magazine that holds more than 10 rounds, and a pistol grip. The SKS does not have a pistol grip, and has a fixed 10 round magazine. Not an assault rifle.
