Poll: Current value dpms ar15

[RoyalTenenbaum]

What's the current value of a DPMS flat top off the shelf 16" model? Nothing special, just run of the mill DPMS.

 

[LPMan59]

$1400 in a gun store.

$650 to me

 

[Dj15802]

$699

100% dead on......just because someone puts a price tag on it doesnt mean its worth that

check what they have sold for on gunbroker in the past week. That is your answer.

Saw a guy buy one at Walmart in the last month for $597.99 or so (Panther Arms DPMS). I also "heard" that the LGS in same town was pricing the same model at twice that amount. If I saw another at Wally World, I'd be tempted.

I said $1,200 because you asked for the CURRENT value, not the real value. If you are in the market for an AR, I am doubtful that you will find even a DPMS A2 for less than $1,200.

i would bet money is was a 22lr version...not the regular one.

And just because you want to believe something doesn't make it so. Guns are not immune to price changes due to supply and demand no matter how much that upsets people on the internet who whine about price gouging. He asked for the current market value, not how much you'd pay for one. Prices are formed where the supply and demand curve meet, not where you want them to be.

My roommate just sold his no name AR for $1250. I'd guess you can get something in that range.

The current value is the real value. How could it be different?

No, it was a .223. Can't vouch for the quality, but that's what it was. Here's a link to it on WM's site: DPMS Sportical Rifle 5.56/.223 Rem: Hunting : Walmart.com

 

[bcannon]

To me their current value is @ 600 - to whoever pays more the value to him or her is more - Why someone would pay more 600 is still beyond me

 

[223 Gunner]

To me, they are a $700 dollar rifle tops, and no I don't care about the current market conditions. The market is stablizing slowly but surely.

Worth or value are ambiguous terms. Are you asking what's the current going price? What's a "fair" price? Or what?

There's intrinsic value. There's subjective value. There are many theories of value. It's really not all that simple.
