Agreed. Both nice guns, both over priced.

I recently bought a 80% LE turn-in Mod 15 (pinned with 3T's and factory action job) for $225. It sat in the LGS case for months so it's not like I stumbled onto a deal. There just isn't a huge market for old, worn revolvers in the lowly 38 special. Even clean heavy barrel Mod 10's rarely sell for above $350 around here there days.
You should be able to expand your selection if you shop gunbroker or other online vendors. You'll have to work out the details with your local FFL but generally speaking, Figure another $55 over selling price to your hands (with no sales tax.)

Lastly, don't be afraid to expand your search to mod 13, 19, 64, 65, 66 or 67. All will look, feel and shoot similar to the two mentioned. The stainless flavors polish/clean up easy too.

p.s. try J&G sales if your looking for a LE turn in. They often have them dirt cheap. ( I've bought 64's there for less than $200.)
