    Set an insanely high price you know will never be met in the time frame allowed.

    After auction end, go down the line of bidders starting from the last high bidder and see who wants to pony up the cash for your item.

    This way you can let the masses make the price run away to sky high levels and sell to the first sucker that actually has the money to part with.

    If you have the disposable income for it, more power to you.
    For $3k I could outfit two rifles, buy several thousand rounds of ammo and have money left over for classes...
    Make that enough to outfit ONE great basic rifle, plus the rest of the stuff, and you sound about right.

    I don't know where you're shopping, but I'm only going to be in my rifle about $1350. And it's all Daniel Defense and Magpul. I could've gone cheaper on some of the parts and built a basic rifle with iron sights for close to $1000. I just bought a 1000 round case of fiocchi brass cased 223 for under $300. Thats 2000 for rifles, 600 for 2 cases of ammo, and 400 for classes. Sounds doable to me.

    The auction closed just under $3,000 with the reserve not met.

    That is ridiculous ... though it is also giving me quite a bit to think about.

    Hera Arms

    HERA Arms in Germany makes a billet lower which is remarkably like the Magpul one. Even their logo is sort of similar.

    Not importable

    Unfortunately the answer is no. I asked the US importer of HERA parts,
    LAN World Inc if they could get it and they said that the ATF had denied their import application.

    Given what I recall about the way that Hera, Oberland and even HK GmbH worked while I was in Germany, I would be very surprised if those receivers had a MILSPEC-compatible takedown pin configuration. German ARs tend to be proprietary in this respect in order to comply with domestic legal requirements (i.e. semi-automatic rifles are permissible, but they cannot be readily backwards-compatible with any standardized military arm).
