Not trying to sell anything on here, I know the rules. Just want an opinion/ useful comment.

Ok, I have a KAC RAS with all the covers (9 I think), vertical foregrip, roll up deal etc.

It's all NIB, not a scratch on it, never been mounted.

Bookhound (PSI) has the rail w/ 3 covers for $323 , covers are $20 each, VFG is $65 or so.

The best offer I can seem to get for all of it on the EE is barely $200 shipped. Are these things plentiful and worthless or what?

I'm just stumped...

wait for it....a snide comment from Outsyd will follow soon I'm sure...

I think people are buying things that are likely to get banned more so than accessories right now. I think the asking price of those KAC rails is absolutely insane. I built my rifle up how I wanted to and spent all surplus funds on ammo. I guess I went the "cheap" route and bought a Daniel Defense rail for $200.

They're hard to sell used because so many are stolen from arms rooms and combat zones.

Not saying yours is stolen, just saying there are lots of them that haven been reallocated.

People on the EE are paying $185 - $200 for beat up junk that's been rattle canned!

I pay up for NIB items but peoples spending is very strange lately.

I'll probably let it go for cheap to get a little money back out of something that's collecting dust...

I saw 2 new ones sell recently for $185 each, that's the best they could get for them.

Now that things are winding down somewhat in Iraq, you'll see more of them starting to pop up.

What ikickhippies said is spot on.

I saw a couple for $150 not long ago.

Also, a lot of these were mis-marked and sold by KAC for much cheaper. I think this might be why the prices are depressed.

I usually am pretty snappy with little snide offhand comments.  Especially ones that not everyone would get ....

I am sorry to disappoint you.  Come hang out on GON .... I seem to have more over there that piss a lot of folks off. *shrugs*

There is a LOT of counterfeit KAC stuff on the market.  Most looks EXACTLY like real KAC.  A lot of guys won't buy KAC stuff from anyone other than a trusted retailer for that reason.

My experience anyway.

Thanks Mark.  I'm trying to pinch pennys and sell off whatever is collecting dust so I can get an Evo from you.
My XD is on the way with a barrel in the works.

MAN ........ check this out ... I found my witty snide comment to make over on GON ... but I couldnt do it .... Ive been in so much trouble of there for my antics they have threatened to ban me.  


BUT I was going to add to my posting in your thread ......to the guy asking about the price drop .......


It wouldnt make a difference if you saw the old price cause you are still going to offer less than the asking price.

I had a guy on GON pitch a royal fit after he backed out of a confirmed deal.  I left -1 feedback, he went to the admin and it went from there.

People aren't nearly as bright over there and sell some real junk.

I did quote you as I was closing that thread. Hope you don't mind.

Who was it? I saw you locked it up over there.

Someone backed out of the deal already?

Sorry for being unclear.

I previously had an unpleasant experience with someone backing out and pitching a fit.

I just got a commitment on the rail from a member on here.  So..I closed the GON thread

You know I am expecting a -1 over there ..... I screwed the pooch ... I told a guy I would buy something if he could hold out till a certain day .... he said no prob.  Then I get an IM from him saying hey look i cant get together on the day we had set and I had so much other shit going on I just never got back with the guy .... so I am expecting a -1 and Ill take it and accept it ... i screwed the pooch.

That's the truth. I was one of those burned by that "campy" MFer in the EE.
All I got for my money was a "Thank You" and an NCIS hat - the hat wasn't even made in USA!

I still purchased another as I like Knights and I already had the SAS fixed bottom rail for the RAS, but I stil feel the burn.

Wish I could make it up to Red Hill this weekend. Family in town and the Masters on Sunday has me booked up.

I do need to get back up to Creekside since it's so close. I'll have to watch for when everybody will be up there.
