Hello, this is my first post on the forums and I would appreciate any responses to this. Here is a parts list of a rifle that I have as accurately as I could get it. Could anyone provide me with a rough estimate of price that I could expect to sell this for and also maybe a recommendation on the best place to do so (so far I've been leaning towards gun broker).
Spikes tactical special zombie edition lower receiver with custom painted inlays BCM Upper Receiver- approx 500 rounds through it BCM 16inch with standard a2 flashhider 1/8 twist 5.56 rated barrel- approx 500 rounds through it Midwest Industries Gen2 SS Rail with all 3 original moveable picatany rail mounts BCM Gunfighter Mod3 (large) charging handle, painted with a duracoat FDE camo pattern on parts of it. Minimal aesthetic wear. This is not the newer one the has the raised back part to block more gas blowback but it is the older model. Colt bolt carrier- approx 2000 rounds through it. Properly staked gas key. Minor wear from normal use. Palmetto State armory F.D.E. MIAD LPK DSA Complete Buffer Tube Kit, Mil-spec F.D.E. Magpul CTR stock Mil-spec F.D.E. Magpul polymer trigger guard Black Magpul AFG1 F.D.E. Magpul 3rd gen 30 round PMAG with ranger plate and griptape inserts F.D.E. Magpul 3rd gen 30 round PMAG with griptape inserts Black Magpu 2nd genl 30 round PMAG Magpul B.A.D. lever, black F.D.E. Magpul MS3 sling Magpul ASAP sling plate, Mil-spec Troy Industries Di-Optic Aperture (DOA) - Rear Folding Battle Sight - Flat Dark Earth Troy Industries (Sights) - Front Folding Style M4 Sight Flat Dark Earth Aimpoint CompM2 with thumbscrew mount (unsure of mount make as it is painted over, but it is an L-shaped mount with a thumbscrew that locks down on the left side of the rifle as you see down the sights painted with a wearing FDE krylon camo pattern. Bend on rear eye hood, doesn't get in the way of the view through the optic. It was dropped and landed on the rear eye hood and bent a little bit. Drago F.D.E. 36" Single gun bag- minor oil stains on inside of the rifle pocket part Thank you in advance for any responses. I have pics but this is my first time posting on any forum and I am unsure of how to attach them. Also I would like to apologize in advance if this post is out of place. |

Just look up the part price part by part and add them up. Then drop about 10-15% off that total and that's about where you need to be.
Problem right now is there's plenty of rifles out now and prices are already dropping. Still a lot of bargain hunters out there though, and unless you find the right person looking for the exact parts, you won't be able to make a quick sale. The people who don't know a lot about the value of the parts would be more inclined to drop a couple hundred less and buy a Windom, Bushmaster, ect.... off the shelf as a complete rifle verses a parts gun. 500 rounds is NOTHING in the barrel life of an AR, but again in others eyes with will be a used parts gun as well. IMO put it on gunbroker for what you want out of it and just let it ride until you find the right buyer. |
| Manny is right you have many add ins that will never regain all the money, unless you got a gel of a steal. My advice if you plan on building another one or buying another gun is keep the add ons (aimpoint, mags, etc) and jus sell the gun. Maybe add it as an option to the buyer for what you want out of them. What I usually do is add up what I have invested and try to sell for around 10% than what I have, give ir take some. It really all depends on what you have in the gun and the deals you scored. You may have a lot less than someone with the exact gun, I personally don't buy anything unless its a deal so Always make atleast my money back. |

you have a lot of add ons that you will not recoup selling them on your weapon your lower right now I would guess is 400 is fair unless you have a good trigger upper 700 to the right buyer bolt 200 the rest you'll have to part out to get your cash back these estimates are way off. You can get new for cheaper. I'd go $275 for the lower, $550 for the upper, $150 for the BCG. |

Sir I am estimating a fair price I think you are quoting a deal, you have the rifle with 500rds for sub 1k the upper is railed, and the I am not quite sure you build the lower at your price off the ee especially with the bad, and asp |

Fair today, no. If the upper is coming with the rail and rear sight, I'd go $750ish range. |
