What Am I Missing?
OK...not bitching about how or what a guy chooses to sell. But I'm curious. Why sell an upper without the BCG or charging handle? Is it to make more $$ by selling them separately or because the parts are so scarce?
I've seen several uppers I would've bought had they been ready to put on a gun. It's like selling a gun without a trigger or something.

"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles. --Jeff Cooper"
My feedback
You are missing nothing. It's not just you wondering.
But if you want to buy a 1911 without a slide I've got a deal for you. Just kidding.

U$A!
That about all you can get, an upper with out BCG, and that is few and far between. Buy two when they are available and sell one for a profit to use for a BCG at panic prices.
My T.P. wheeling and dealing feedback is here.
Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one, and it stinks more than mine.

Not angry at all. Like I said...it's up to the person selling what he/she wants to sell and how they want to sell it. It just seems to me if I wanted to sell an upper receiver assembly it would be a lot more attractive if it was something that actually worked.

Yeah, no shit. I can see the ad now: "BNIB Colt 1911. Never fired, beautiful. Includes everything but the slide. $8000. FIRM!"You are missing nothing. It's not just you wondering.

They bought it that way from PSA, and are trying to sell it for a few bucks more. The prepared will include a BCG for double.

8000?
I'm not cutting you a deal because you are part of the forum, starting bid is 10K.
Well, trust me. I'm prepared. I just have a few lowers that I wouldn't mind putting an upper on. But an $800 upper without a BCG really doesn't do me a whole lotta good.
