Used Bushmaster V Match AR-15 Value?
I have a Bushmaster V Match AR-15 that I think I might sell/trade. Basically it is their X15-E2S A2 20" version. It is easily 7 years old, but is about 90-95% with handling marks and a small rub on the barrel. Obviously I have several magazines and Flattop riser for optics that go with it.

What are these going for used?

I've never seen one of these on the used shelf so I don't have a comparison.

$700 in excellent condition

$575 in very good condition

Add $75 for A3 carry handle

Look no further MT. I will take it off your hands for $575!

Sorry Peter; I think I'll hang onto it for a while and weigh out my options.

I am not "up" on gun prices, especially black guns, but isn't that a bit low for an AR-15 of any flavor these days?

Just curious.

MT my comment was "tongue in cheek" as I had previously responded to your similar post on another forum with a much higher price estimate!

Value does seem a bit low, data comes from my 2008 Blue Book of Gun Values. I would think in today's climate your AR might fetch a bit more, but that depends on the buyer.

Juggernaut,

You need the November 5th, 2008 version! Prices are a bit different in that version!

Haven't seen one under $900 in a long time. Most are $1100 +/-

I'd be like all the other greedy people out there and sell it for all you can get. Let me tell you if you're buying just parts, like a complete lower, $575 won't buy you much. You did good not to sell it for that ridiculous offer.

Never considered buying the "post-election" edition, but you are probably spot on.
