I am tasked with selling an AR built on a Primary Arms lower. Parts kit is unknown.  However I must establish a selling price anyway. What is the best way to attack the situation?

Is this a  "ghost gun?"  AKA  no  s/n?   Regardless of the state you/ she is in,  I would separate the bare lower and sell the rest as parts.  Otherwise, it depends on the state in which you live.  good luck if you are in  WA/ OR / CA    and I don't even keep track of the  E end of the continent.

Somewhere hidden in the perverse maze that is the arfcom menu system is an OK Hometown Forum. You can ask there about ways and places to sell this.

Generic ARs regularly run as cheap as $400. If you can't post a pic, send a copy and I'll upload it for you. Get some decent, clear ones of any markings on the parts. We already know what a PA lower is, so you can skip that.

I don't think Primary Arms has their name on lowers.  It may have been bought from PA, but it likely is a different brand name.  Not knowing exactly what is in there, it will be hard to squeeze more than $500 out of it, depending on optic if there is one.

My condolences in the loss of your friend.

Smell like any cheap ar.  Probably 400 bucks is all.

Well darn, you're right. The ones I think of as "my Primary Arms" lowers are actually poverty ponies.

I agree with posting pictures of anything with markings. A home built AR made out of who knows what will get you $400. If you can prove it's made with high quality parts that number will rise. I have home builds with a lot of money into them. Are they less of a gun than a factory one? I'd argue they're better than most. Without more info though, you're stuck at $400

presuming you are not having FFL....

just don't plan selling it on her behalf for profit and you should be okay; you don't want any agency to consider you for engaging in the business of selling firearms for obvious reasons

Just give her $500 bucks for it and take it to the range to test it out, if you like it keep it, or sell it to a friend for $500. Everyone wins.

Pretty much this.  On the open market today for a no-brand lower and parts kit - $400 is about right for open market - that's how cheap and common AR's are now.  If there's a case of ammo with it, that's worth more than the gun is now.  

Last AR15 I bought at a widows estate sale with numerous other people there too, I paid $300 for it.  And I wouldn't have bought even at that price, except I wanted the scope.  That's how bad the AR market is right now.
