Current market value of high end ARs?

[Co Th G]

Just curious as to what the market value for my two high end ARs is currently.
I have a Colt LE6920 with Magpul FDE furniture and a Laure 5.56 OBR 18" barrel, Surefire muzzle break with Magpul FDE PRS stock and MIAD, Harris bipod on Larue quick detach mount and Laure BUIS.

I think the market value is very much in flux right now. Give gunbroker a whirl.

In my opinion, the high end stuff won't bring a premium. I think a majority of the ar buyers right now are new "panic buyers". They won't pay 5k for a 3 k gun, but will pay 1700 for a 1200 gun. I've seen a ton of it over the last couple of days.

I wouldn't pay over $800 for it. But I've got plenty, so I'm only buying if someone really needs to sell. On the other hand, I have an unfired Colt LE Only marked 9mm carbine that you could take from me for $2000, if you REALLY want it. See, it's all about perspective.

According to gunbroker bids, people are going crazy. I am seeing some bids that should buy 4 AR's. Fear is a powerful motivator.

From looking online I'd say they must be worth about $10k each.

Gunbroker is nuts right now.

I think it's time to sell that extra AK I've been meaning to sell for a few month but hadn't had time to list. Why not? I can get twice as much as I was planning and still be less than some people.

The panic is on. However, there is a republican majority in the house. There is a good chance that an assault weapons ban would not pass. However, after the midterm elections in two years, its anybody's guess. Would hate to buy a rifle at a tremendously inflated price only to see prices collapse a few months later.

I bought a 6940 three weeks ago for $1,298. They are going for as much as $4,000 on gunbroker now.

 

[JCatt]

I saw two stripped Noveske lowers sell for over 700 each! There were over 30 bids each on them. Glad I bought what I wanted a while ago, obviously wish I had bough more just to sell on GB.

You could do well with that rifle right now!

It's not just gunbroker. Some of the other gun boards are just as bad. Premium rifles 4500-6000.00 Third tier rifles for 12-1500.00 and up.

It will be interesting to see how long it takes prices to settle down and inventories to come back.

Prices will settle in a few months. No bans are going to happen with a republican run house.

Now.....when the 2014 elections come up, I'm betting the republicans will not have control of the house or senate anymore. They will likely be voted out of power.

After 2014, the democrats will likely push a nonpartisan awb bill through since they wont need a single republican vote to get it passed into law.

So my advice is to not worry, and wait for the prices to go back down for now. But make sure you've got what you want before 2014.

But if your wanting to sell something anyways.....now is the time. Stuff is going for 150-300% the price it should be selling at (things threatened by the awb proposals anyways).

And what makes you think that?

 

[tradertator]

^ I was thinking the same thing. Look at what happened in 2010.

 

[Miles42]

What ever the market will bear. Throw it out there you never can tell. PT Barnum was right on the mark.

 

[ssdoug]

I can't believe the price of things now . Anybody think a ban will drive them up more?

 

[zippy23]

i had a guy in sheridan tell me he's got an LWRC REPR for 3600 right now.

 

[Nazgul]

Saw 13 Pmags, and 100 rounds 5.56 FMJ for only $950 on another board. What a deal!

Just saw my LGS take money off the price of an AR!

Kudos Big Daddy.

As with any gun on the planet. I may want it but I don't need it. Absolutely insane prices going on. Gun owners can at times be their own worst enemy.
