So I can buy these AEV call of duty bumpers for $500. Looks like it comes with the winch plate and skid plate. My concern is the rust on the front bumper. Can that be fixed? Are they worth $500 or is the rust a deal breaker?

For $500, that ain't too bad. They're more for over-landing and the looks of them are kind of dated now in my opinion but for $500 that's pretty tough to beat. Sand them down, repaint, and you're golden. That fairlead that's all rusted out you can probably just take-off and screw an aluminum one in.

 

if you want to double your money buy them and resell them. they go fast and you can easily get 1000 for those.

 

Agree ...at least $850/900 I could see if fixed up and looking good

 

I have the premium bumper and rear. Front tubeless bumper is $1169.99, rear $948.99, and skid plate is $315.99. I would jump on it.

 

Buy them, clean up and sell them. Then buy bumpers you really want.

 

Well let's say you took those prices at 70%...
front = $819
rear = $664
skid = $221

Now consider if he fixes and resells but doesn't want to ship, you consider the local market. I don't know anything about the Vegas / Nevada market, but I'm assuming a more aggressive look and/or crawling type of bumper setup would sell better. Even at 70% of list price, I think guys like PSC, ARB, JCR Offroad, LOD, Genright still have better looking products.

List price doesn't mean anything if you can't sell them at list and if there isn't a big demand locally for an overland setup, then he'll have to discount them more just to try and off-load them unless he decides to just keep them for his own rig. If he isn't willing to ship out of state and can't get a local buyer to bite at 70%, then he'll have to discount further. That's why I say $850/900.

The fact that he can get them all for $500 tells me that either the person selling them doesn't care how much they go for and has $$ to throw away or they've been trying to sell them for awhile and can't get anyone locally interested to buy them so they're selling at a fire-sale price.

Of course this goes all out the window if the OP wants to fix them up and just put them on his rig. Then for $500, plus $35 in sanding/paint materials, maybe another $35-40 for an aluminum fairlead, plus some elbow grease, then it's a good deal.
