"frankenAR's" arent worth more or less because they are "frankenAR's", they are worth more or less because of the parts used.
To the OP: (your low post count not withstanding i.e. your ability to not be able to sell in the EE and this is generally how guys "work around" that):
These would be the costs to basically re-create what you have
You have about $400 in that lower as it sits +- a little since I dont know what those Seekins lowers cost
You have about $1000(probably a little less actually) in that upper
You have about $150 in cerakoat
So $1500 give or take would basically allow me to re-build that gun as it sits in your hands.
Being a frankenAR has plenty to do with it. The average buyer does not know the value of the parts. They are generally not going to take time to try to identify, locate and price each part. On a factory gun the average buyer can view the sales receipt or easily find out the value.
