Lowered start and Buy Now price a bit

please tell me if I have this priced fairly. I lost a little on a previous rifle this week so was weary of a $0 start.

    Doesn't seem like an unfair price to me, being complete minus the trigger. Most stripped lowers go for, what, $90+?

    yeah, figured complete lowers go for $160+ and stripped lowers are $90+ depending on make, most are $120+. Triggers can be had all day for $15.

    Seems like a good price but not sure of the second picture. A few more photo's minus the second one would help.

    upon second review your missing a lot more then just a trigger.

    A complete lower has a buffer, buffer tube, buffer spring, and buttstock.

    True, but it's starting to lean more towards incomplete than complete.

    I'd have to agree with you there.

    when I posted auction I was thinking in terms of what comes in the lower parts kit for an AR. Poor wording on my part but kinda figured no one would think it came with buffer, tube, stock etc.

    I agree with you that nobody is going to miss that big hole at the back of the receiver. The point is you say it's complete except for the trigger, this implying that the stock etc exist and are included.

    With all the parts missing, yeah you're a little high. You have to figure that from the buyers perspective, the shipping to get all those parts is going to add up to where buying a complete lower is more cost effective.

    I know anywhere around where I live, a stripped lower is $120+. So I don't think I am overpriced. But I definitely agree my description about trigger was off. I have added a list of included items on the auction and am sending the bidder a message. Not trying to rip anyone off here.

    To buy a trigger, hammer, disconnector, both springs and both pins plus the rear push pin detent and spring and a few other little parts on there own is gonna cost the buyer individually what a complete lower parts kit would cost.

    yep, and its easier just to buy an LPK!


    So why didn't you put an entire LPK in it and be done with it?

    So what is the weather looking like?? Looking pretty nasty, or is it looking like the "super storm" some are predicting??

    Wind is starting to kick around here now. Just looks like a rainy day other than that. But worst is supposed to be tonight into tomorrow AM
