Normally, when someone asks me to help them evaluate the price of a firearm I can help by referencing the Blue Book, Auction Arms, Gun Broker, Gun List, or Shotgun News. But it seems today that Blue Book prices do not apply to the so-called "assualt weapon" market. And I've found no comparable prices elsewhere.
I need help in determining the pricing on two items that are going to be sold from a private collection. The guy selling them believes he knows what the items are worth and I've indicated his prices accordingly. However, it will help immensely to confirm that his intended prices are either too high (and by just how much), or too low (and by just how much). Here they are. Both are pre-ban original factory Colt new in their original boxes (NIB), unfired.
* Colt AR-15 Model 6430 (pre-ban), Match Target Lightweight in 9mm. Comes with both fixed and collapsible stocks, 4 Colt factory hi-caps, flash hider w/o lug, blue label box. He says he wants $1,550.
* Colt AR-15 Model 6600DH (pre-ban), Match Delta H-Bar (Elite) in .223. Comes with everything from the factory in it's own aluminum case (and green label box), including 3X9 rubber armored scope, mount, 2 slings, flash hider w/lug, manual, etc. He says he wants $2,100 for this one.
