So WTH did this AR-15 NOT SELL ???

[pop-gunner]

Links please to comparable quality items and please include shipping?

Why bother...
You asked a question and are now on page 3 of answers you don't seem to like.
Like them or not these are your peers (even the senior members who hurt your feelings) and have a bunch of experience in buying ARs in the last 1.5 years.
You picked a good crowd to ask as the experience is here.
You built a nice gun. You should either keep it, or lower the price to match the market.
No matter what you spent on the build the economy is still weak.
Good luck.

Piston AR price for a DI rifle !!

It's a nice gun, I think you should just hold on to it and enjoy it!

I think it is really nice. Especially after the tight groups, and I actually am regretful b/c I believe it is true quality... and, crapola, at this price I am selling for a 25 percent loss. I guess I bought last year during the craze and price gouging. I am trying to raise funds to by a .308... which is probably what I should have started out with. I built two, and this is the one I am keeping in 5.56:

There's your problem.

During my search for a 6.5 G rifle I looked at them as a builder. You are a bit high for a used rifle from them. I know you say you didn't shoot it much but I could scrub up just about any of my mint guns and sell it as only fired one box of ammo....not saying you would do that but you know how people's minds work. Selling on GB has been slow...I know I have nine auctions going on right now and have over 150 feedback's with over 200 sales. Some of my items are blow what I have into them just to sell them. I don't sell items to friends or people on forums that I hang out with just because it can cause issues. OH and lastly don't show up on a forum and start debates about why you item is not selling when you have just barely enough post to sell regardless....might make people think your trolling.

Like a hot rod you've build to your taste, you will almost never recoup what you have into it.

Good luck selling it at that price on gun broker with no feedback. Your wasting your time, part it out and get back as much as you can.

 

[honda53s]

That is a great looking gun man. Good luck with the sale.

As everyone has mentioned:Frankenstein AR, wrong time to sell because everyone has Long spent out of cash, price is higher than worth of parts, lack name recognition. For this price I can buy a NIB DD/BCM/KAC/POF/LMT/LWRCI/Noveske....and on and on, and most would even cost a few hundred less. They would also have name recognition and from the factory having a warranty.

The only option for you is as already mentioned: part it out if you really want to sell it. Otherwise keep it and consider this a lesson on having a unique custom AR.

BTW, Armed Ferret you crazy ol' Coot! That was funny as hell!!!

 

[sailskidrive]

Okay... so how much for the barrel? lol

 

[spclopr8tr]

OP,

I really like your build. It is very similar to the build I did. I spent about what you did, but apparently got everything at sale prices that you did not get. Plus my build costs included a Burris scope. If I were to sell it, I would like to get at least $1500. If I were to sell it, I would realistically expect to actually get no more than about $1200, more likely closer to $1000. Whether I fired it or not, most will consider it a used gun and look for a consequent used price since this is NOT a collector item. That is the market reality. There is probably that one buyer out there willing to pay your asking price, but they will be a needle in a haystack that will likely require a lot of effort to locate or just some good blind luck.

pop-gunner, I think we may be related.

I want that rail so bad in 15 inch length. Sweet setup.

 

[Mooseman]

You could hold on to it until another state bans them. That will bring prices up.

I think anyone spending that kind of money on an AR will probably want to hand pick their own parts and either build it themselves or know the smith that built it. You're probably better off disassembling and selling the parts separately.

Thats actually a good plan for him. Might get a little less but you probably could hang onto your lower which may become useful again in the future.

Since outside MD lowers are well under $100 these days.

It sucks to take a hit but we all have done it.

 

[gabe72]

Guessing it was bought at the height of the panic and from md dealer at a md gun show,now prices are at pre 2013,prices,the most I ever paid for an ar 1.000 and that was a new colt

 

[Deep Creek Rock]

It didnt sell because the mall ninjas only want BCM stuff.

They used one in Call Of Duty, and want the same one...
