True market value, AR-15

[Atomic Dog]

Just like your car, your house, or that prized Star Wars replica on your shelf items are not worth xxxxxx, they are worth what another person is willing to pay for it. And what websites list does not really say anything with the crazy market (that I think is slowing down)



For example, I have an Anvil Arms lower with the standard PLK and 6 position stock. The site lists it at $295, but where is the average real world value? http://anvilarms.com/c-19-lower-receivers.aspx Is the market starting to settle down and prices returning to "normal"?

Could you rephrase that in the form of a question?

If I wanted to sell a PAFOA Anvil Arms Lower with LPK and 6 position stock what would I get for it?

$295 isn't terrible.........pre-Hussein pricing was in the ballpark of $125 for the lower, $75 for the parts kit and $75 for the stock.......even with the market settling you can bet that it, much like gas prices, will never go back to the way it was before.

I recently traded a GSG-5 for two complete RRA lowers (unused, assembled, with all components). Both parties in the deal were satisfied.

pre-Hussein?
I just picked up all those parts for about the same prices. If that's 'standard pricing' it's already there again.

True. We are seeing more EBRs returning to the funstore racks - but not at the pre-Obamanoia prices.

When someone sees a new, S&W MP-15 CAR for under $900.00 like they were before, we know we have returned.

S&W M4 clone for $999 which is only about $20 more than they were selling for a year ago.

Perhaps I am a "cock-eyed optimist, naive and incredibly..., well you get the picture. However, I believe that AR prices will actually be below a year ago soon. My reasoning is that unless the Obama Administration make concrete moves to implement an Assault Weapons Ban the market will have over corrected to the upside in anticipation of a law that doesn't materialize. Production has been massive in the past 6 months, the market is saturated, when the demand levels off the prices will fall, when they start to fall people who have overpaid will want to cut their losses and the market will flood, and the price of an AR will be remarkably low. However, I am not an economist and did not stay in any motel last night so....
