So as the title says I would like some help appraising two custom AR style rifles my dad built and setup. Is there any good places that y'all would recommend. I attached a couple pictures can upload more if needed

You need a complete list of components and also keep in mind that home builds are worth less than a factory build by a well known manufacturer or smith even if all top tier parts are used.

Based on what I am seeing in those photos it looks like they're both more economy minded builds with Anderson lowers , but again providing a detailed list of the parts on both would go a long way to getting you a value

looks like decent target/varmint plinking type builds with the Swampfox optic, fluted barrels and upgraded triggers

As mentioned , knowing a bit more aout 'em would help - as AR's are flaky toys in that to a layperson, (or even someone with a bit of experience, but maybe not with custom AR's ) - a $500 PSA or Bear Creek looks "close enough" to a Daniel defense or BCM

With ARs selling for $400- $500 brand new right now it's gonna be hard for somebody to justify buying a used AR for much more than that.
the market fluctuates so drastically that it's really hard to sell an AR unless they're really something top end.
My opinion, worth what you paid for it.

Yukon Ok.
Anderson lower hurts the build. Considered to be a “poverty pony”. They got a bad reputation many years ago and haven’t been able to shake it. I have zero issues with them now days. I would speculate from the pics probably $700-$850 but that’s just a guess without a parts list

Okay so some of the parts I've been able to figure out are
Vortex Razor HD LHT 4.5-22x50 XLR-2
Luth-AR MBA-3 butt stock
Diamond tech 2 Stage trigger
17.5 Ragna Mlock fore grip
Faxon complete bolt assembly
Superlative arms adjustable block
Faxon match series heavy fluted 22 arc barrel
DPMS lower
And a stark grip
That what I got so far for one of them
Still working on the one with the swamp fox scope

From what I've googled and added up the total cost of it with the scope was $2687.00 to build, now I know that doesn't reflect selling cost but still seems crazy.
Yeah that scope is on amazon for about $1200 which you coule get $700-900 for it if a guys looking for one, you might get $800-900 out of the rifle it self without the scope if you find a guy wanting a pieced together 22arc. That is not meant to sound mean wither, its just if most guys are going to have something like that they want it all to be what they want, and not usually how someone else pieced it together. For $2600 and it being 22ARC, which isn't very common yet, that is kind of out there for most average guys I'd say.
