Are used PSA ARs selling anymore?

I don't see any reason to buy the Colt over the PSA, your just paying for the name, IMHO. I don't think the Colt will "out shoot" the PSA rifle, I don't see it as a "real" upgrade in one rifle over the other. Just my .02 cents worth. Esp. with AR prices going down, I bet you can find a Colt rifle for around $500 in 30-45 days.

mind explaining the bolded? your reasoning, how you came up with that conclusion, etc...thx.

Sure, after seeing no less that about 10,000 rifles on Army SDM, and Qualification ranges, ( The vast majority of them being Colt rifles ) The performance for the Colt rifles were in no way better than my Doublestar AR-15 that was built by my Ranger Buddy, on his Kitchen table, after he had a few beers... That rifle spent 4 years with me at Ft.McCoy and went to the range with me, every single day I was there, as a army marksmanship instructor I have at least 10,000 rounds down the pipe, prob. more like 15,000 rounds. My Rifle ran courses of fire from -25 degrees to 100 degrees, with out a hitch that wasn't mag related. That rifle ( with iron sights BTW ) will hit a spent 5.56 brass case at 25 yards, hold a shot group at 25 meters ( 82.29 feet ) smaller than a quarter. And hold the 8 ring at 600 yards ( it might do better if someone else was shooting it, I could only hold the 8 ring )
Now, all that being said, my point is, mil spec. parts, are mil spec. parts. As a matter of fact, I might be going back to Ft.McCoy, this time I'll take my " Frankingun" of a home built SAA lower, and a PSA 1/7 twist CL M4 upper, and see how it dose. Oh, BTW the way there were 3 other guys up there, with me who there the same length of time I was, one had a Smith & Wesson M4 clone the other, had a RRA M4 clone, ALL of their rifles performed about the same as mine... So if you want to pay $200 dollars more for the Colt name go ahead.
