I went to the gunshow at Big Town today and made out like a bandit.
I sold my complete, preban, Olympic upper with a 3 position collapsible stock (minus the recoil spring and buffer, I kept them for my parts collection/spares) for 300 cash.
I had two people I know and trust evaluate/appraise the upper. Both put its value at 225-250 tops!
Wooo-Hooo! To make it even sweeter, I sold it to a dealer, not a newbie!
To make things even nicer, I found a guy selling reloaded .223, brass cases, nice and shiny for 85.00(cash tax included!), for TWELVE hundred rounds! I bought his last case, and would have bout more if he had any other! I bargained him down from 90.00 [;)]
I shot the .223 to check its quality/reliability. Perfect! Even hit the steel plates as hard as South African surplus.

For a guy that hates gunshows in general, I was proud of myself today.
