I've been watching the auctions on GunBroker and Auction Arms, as well used stuff in the various forums. Is it my imagination or are the prices for used S&W 686s awfully close to the lower new prices? Yeah, there are some dealers that think their guns are "limited production rare models" and are asking rediculous prices, but, the prices from the more reasonable dealers are quite close to the used prices.

What gives? Why the high costs? These guns aren't rare. They've been around for quite some time now and there are a lot of them out there.

The vagaries of the gun market sometimes just boggle the mind.
