Default AR-15 pricing help please.

Two more from the collection that I'm having trouble getting reliable prices for.
Sorry, no pics as I don't have the guns here. I'll try to describe them as best I can.

DPMS AR-15, pre-ban, .223/5.56, 16" barrel, old style fixed carry handle & tall front sight, adjustable butt stock, round hand guard.
I called DPMS and all they can tell me is it was made somewhere in the early 90s.

Colt AR-15, Match Target, Light weight, 7.62x39, made 1995, 16" barrel, fixed carry handle & tall front sight, solid A1 type butt stock, round hand guard.

I'd appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks.

I'll venture $700 for the DPMS and $1,200 for the Colt.

If the DPMS is in fact a verifiable Pre-Ban and left the factory as a complete rifle you can probably sell the lower receiver to someone in a ban state via gunbroker. I did just that and got good money out of my lower receiver because the guys in ban states can't have these guns very easily. Try that with a reserve auction and see where it goes.........

Last gun show I attended (Texas) $500 would have gotten you any one of about 100 pretty nice new AR's in the building. $400 would have gotten a few that weren't as nice and one guy had lower receivers for $35 if you wanted to try building your own.

Colt may have some collector value (more collector value without the politically correct "Match Target"). Wish I'd have sold my Colt "Match Target HBAR" about two years ago.

Definitely a buyers market on about any AR type rifle I can think of.

I think you would be lucky to get $1200.00 for the pair of them, just to many AR's for sale right now.
