2 months before Christmas might be one factor. I know where my spare money is going for the next little while.

It could also be a $1400 rifle with only 150 rounds (maybe) through it for $870.
That's just my 2¢. I know I would be kind of leery.

The AR15 market is pretty crowded as well
I'll throw two honest and straight truths at you as well:
1 - the forum's market traffic isn't as big as some forums
2 - nea doesn't have the greatest reputation

You're also new and people can be leery of dealing with someone new. Your ad seems good though, if I was interested in another ar15 it doesn't scare me away. Pictures are good.

Folks might be leery of purchasing anything AR like until they know what our overlords plans are for those evil 'assault rifles'. With the tonka like builds available and many building what they want from parts, your ideal rifle may not be so ideal to others.

Not knowing any other factors, that really does seem to be a very good price. Usually like-new guns sell for a better ratio than that, so I'm not sure what is missing from this equation.

Selling a restricted generally takes more time than a non restricted. The market is smaller.

Also a poor time of year.

You might fill in your location,someone might not want to do a deal via mail but might consider a face to face deal.

All of the above, and with the oilfields tanking, a large portion of Canadian gun buyers have lost their disposable income. I think the market right now is quite small, unfortunately.
