Is it me, or do DPMS products sell for high prices on the EE?

It would seem for as much crap as everyone talks about them they would be close to free.  Yet used DPMS uppers are going for more than a used BCM unit

Asking price is a lot different than selling price. Also, they may be coming complete with BCG, CH, and perhaps railed handguards or some other after-market hanguard.

I would like to, but it is actually a CoC violation.

Good point. Actual did not think of that.

I think cmcflex statement might be more accurate. Probably not a "Apples to Apples" comparison.

Even most folks who bag on DPMS will admit that the uppers are okay; most of the "issues" come from the LPK's and bolts.

You have a point, it is the barrels and uppers I am refering to.  The chrome plated carriers seem to move well also, at the same price as a BCM F/A carrier.  The lowers are higher than most everywhere I go. I figure most folks buy a name they may be familiar with rather than Spikes or Mega, even Noveske.

Not really, they have issues with their chambers.  Pat posted about a SWAT team taking one of his classes with DPMS M4s, ALL of them went down and needed Ned's chamber reamer to get them running.
