Afraid I have the same report. My most trusted LGS will not even make an offer on an AR for trade unless it is something really special, or a known customer. They've had some pretty angry responses, so just stopped making offers. They will put one on consignment, but the ones that are there over $500 have been there way too long.

Keep it for now. There will be another manufactured crisis, and a brief window to sell. Just keep your eyes and ears open, and act fast if you want it gone.
