How Much for a New AR Lower?

[Speedo66]

When I bought my stripped Anderson AR lower to assemble a PSA kit a few years ago, they were so cheap I figured I might as well buy a couple extra in case I got into them.

Turns out I wasn't really a fan and sold the AR I assembled. Still have the two unused bare lowers sitting here doing nothing.

I know there's a drought of guns right now, and someone could probably use the lowers I have.

I'm aware Anderson is not prestigious, I've seen them referred to as the "poverty pony" brand here, and I don't want to gouge, but at the same time a decent profit would be nice. So I'll ask the assembled wisdom here, in the present moment what do you think a reasonable price would be for each of these?

If it makes any difference, one has an open trigger guard and one is solid.

Thanks

List it for sale for what you want, if it doesn't sell, you know it's prices to high.

Being crazy times AGAIN, I'm sure you'll get what you want for it.

I have seen Anderson stripped lowers go for $50-$60 dollars in the last 6-12 months at local shops.

Wait until mid October, then sell. You'll probably get $100 a pop by then.

No doubt the lead up to the election is going to have a profound effect on prices and availability of both ammo and guns.

We've definitely seen it happen before. Might not be a bad idea to wait a few months.

$50 +/-

I paid 75 for mine just over a year ago, but that was lbs retail price. Primary arms had them on-sale precovid high demand rot 30 to 35. I've been looking g for a couple weeks want to build an a2 and a heavy barrel flat top. I'd buy both now if you'd ship to my FFL.

$45-$55 plus ship

Classic had them for $44.99 today.

Just keep in mind they are considered firearms.

60 bucks plus tax is our local gunshop's price.

I figure it's cheaper to just buy it local, don't have a transfer fee.

Thanks to all for your input!

I'll probably put them up for sale locally in a few months as we approach the election, start them at $75, I can always come down.

With no transfer fee, tax, or shipping, I don't think that's too bad.

Have to see what they're going for at that point, though.

Poverty Pony, first time I heard that but I love it. I am going to hang onto that one and use it as needed.

I can't take credit for it, I think the first person I saw use it here was @GunnyUSMC.
