So your idea is to essentially "mark up" retail pricing on the sum of the parts, as a home built gun, and try to sell it that way - compared to a factory built gun? 
A.W.D. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
Take the price you paid including shipping and handling. Add on $50 or so for putting it together. Throw another 10% on top of that and you're set. If you run into someone who says it is too high take a picture of their comment and post it telling everyone that they are a lowballing piece of shit.

A.W.D. Looooool. Your meter is broken. |

I'd expect to start at 80% of the retail cost of the parts. What If they're parts nobody wants? Like a UTG handguard and CAA stock vs Geissele handguard and Magpul stock? Lots of people buy things that barely anyone else would pay 80% for, even if they were brand new. |

I dunno, something like... Unfired: Sum of parts Fired: Sum of parts less 10% for every 500 rounds down the tube. Maybe -15% per 500 Every used AR has exactly 200 rounds down the tube |

I part it out, I never sell it whole. Two reasons:
More likely to get back what you paid-in. More likely to find buyers for the parts rather than a gun you set up |

Another gem. up for sale is a tack driving varmint/SPR rifle. GREAT rifle and accurate. Only AR rifle I've shot MOA groups at 100 yards with multiple 55gr cheap ammo. -factory Anderson lower with their nickel boron/ nickel Teflon FCG, and the Magpul furniture -factory APOC armory 18" stainless heavy barrel with spiral fluting and 15" handguard. NiBx Bcg. -bushnell ar223 3-9x40 in p series mount. It will will include 1 matching fde window 30 rd magazine and 1 black 10 rd pmag. More can be negotiated for. No ammunition and no rifle case. I suggest bringing one obviously! This is a non negotiable price of $950.  Spiral flutes, -87% |

i build ptac guns from psa and sell them for $2000 because they're custom, quality parts. you just can't get what i get as cheap. In a few months that could possibly be the going rate.

When someone is looking at it, get someone in the next
room to holler out PEPE SHOT IT. Then price it. |

If Armslist ads have taught me anything it is you first go to your closest Gander Mountain. You find a rifle with better/more options. You add 10 to 15% to the Gander price and boom, you have a rifle ready sell.

Sproul flutes, -87% I'm not even going to try to give you the benefit of the doubt. This is not a simple transposition error. This is not a "one key is right next to the other, and I didn't notice before I hit the submit button" error. Hell, I don't think you could even claim drunk on this one. Is "sproul" a gun term I've never heard before, that has an actual meaning? If it is, I'll publicly admit I was wrong, and apologize to you. Were you trying to spell "spiral"?
