Help me price this AR upper...
Posted by TigerTatorTots on 2/6/15 at 5:06 pm01
I may be selling this upper soon and need some advice on pricing it...
-Colt flat top upper receiver
-Daniel defense Lite 7.0 rail
-14.5" Rainer barrel pinned to 16" (1/7" twist)
-It doesn't have a forward assist (I've never used a forward assist so not sure its purpose)
-About 250-300 rounds through it
The DD rail alone appears to be $340 new. The upper looks to be $150 new. The barrel + muzzle break appear to be $250-300 new. Is $500 asking too much?

So @$740 retail for a new setup. If I was a buyer I would price out using lowest found prices which I would bet I could find them for at least 15% ($630+ shipping = $675)of that retail price and then offer about half. I'd start at $350 and would not go over $450 before I would just go with a new set up. Warranties matter to me and is a big reason that if I were to buy used parts I would have to get a very good deal. Good luck.

I've had terrible luck recently trying to sell uppers. That damn BCM sale is killing the secondary market.

Warranties? On uppers? If they exist, then Ive never heard of them

OK, maybe they don't, not sure. But usually when you buy a new item from a store and there is an issue with the purchase I can take it back to the store for help. They may have some pull with the manufacturer or may swap it out. No chance of that if buying used from a stranger.

If I was selling it, that's probably what I would ask. If I was buying, I'd offer $400.
I would hold fast at $500 fwiw, it only takes one person who really wants it.

Appreciate it

List it for what you want but I'd expect it to sell for $350-400. Sounds like a very quality set up but between being a frankenstein and the BCM/Palmetto sales it's tough to sell a used upper.

Yea, they have this for $399, LINK
Is the upper an older one that doesn't even have the location for a forward assist? (I replaced one of these uppers with a more modern one once) Or is the forward assist simply not installed?
Does the rifle have a A2 sight post? I'm assuming so because of the short rail. It just dates an upper, just not what people are looking for these days. (It is a cool swap to grind one of those down and hide it with a new free float handguard, but that would be getting rid of the most valuable part of your upper, the dd handguard)

I have that exact upper. It's greay, but that's comparing apples to oranges.

It has a place for the forward assist, just not installed.
Here is a pic to answer your second question. What would you say it should be priced at?
