"Pre ban" AR receivers - Did I miss something?

[Yarome]

I just noticed some AR receivers for sale. They are labelled as pre ban and asking price is $1.5k each. They appear to be plain old new serialized anderson stripped receivers, but am I missing something?

What would make them so valuabe... and am I sitting on a gold mine and just don't realize it??

Washington bill.

Washington bill.

I'm aware of their pending AWB, but how does that turn a $100 receiver into a $1.5k receiver? There are no receivers left in WA state to buy, so if you have one for sale before the ban it turns it to gold?

A guy can't just buy one online, pay for overnight shipping for one? Have sales on them been halted before the ban is actually even law?

I'm not getting it, I guess.

Guys trying to profiteer off their fellows, I guess. I didn't think the state had run out of lowers yet. I picked up a stripped aero lower at Sporting Systems on Tuesday for $89.
Maybe they had a rush and sold out in places around Tacoma and Seattle already.

I would see asking a premium for one. But $1000 to $1500 for a lower is crazy.

A price gouger will never waste a good opportunity to take advantage of his fellow man, especially under duress.

I would be more worried about the law considering parts kits to be an "assault rifle". If it passes, I would suspect that places like Midway won't ship an AR barrel, or a lower parts kit, to Washington.
What if you just want to replace a worn out barrel, and you can only get a neutered, non threaded one in WA. That would suck.
Guess we will see?

Reminds me of the Clinton days. Glock happy sticks were $150. Beat up old GI AR mags were $40.

I haven't the answers for those questions.

Everyone kicks the first guy to try and gouge, give it time there will be more.

Awe I'm sure he's planning on contributing 90% of the sales proceeds to NWFA's Spring Fundraiser out of kindness as the decent person he is.

For some places on the East Coast a pre-1994 receiver can be exempt from those AW bans. For Washington it doesn't matter if it was built after 1994. The pair for sale for $1500? I have no idea why he thinks people can't find $100 lowers even in the current rush, but he can ask whatever he wants. Maybe there is a buyer out there who can't get a lower locally and is willing to pay that price. Not something I would do to a buyer though.

His actions speak for themselves. I don't need a lower but if I did I would burn the money before he got a cent of it.

I'd be inclined to respond to the ad with "I'll take them all. Meet me behind the woodshed."
But I won't.

Just for the heck of it, I ordered a $59 stripped lower, with free shipping, from PSA.

I spend more than that taking the kids out to Burgerville.

Don't tell everyone that this is possible ok! Some need to feed there kids!

The kids are getting Totino's freezer pizza this week. We can hit Burgerville again after next payday.

I'll come buy some of your ammo and you can load up on double cheese burgers.

There have been a few of these lately, somebody last week had 8 of them for $1000 each.
I'm sure next week they will still have all of them and nothing (legal) they can do with them..
Only thing they will get is a bad name around here for being a profiteer instead of a member of the community.
