IMHO Your description of 98% and couldn't tell if it had been fired are not consistent. The value of a 98% gun and near mint are quite different. A 4" 5-screw Pre-M29 in "can't tell if it's been fired" condition is tough to find. If it's near 100% condition, I think $4k if very reasonable. In fact, I wouldn't sell mine for $4500. I consider a 98% gun to have a drag line between cylinder lockup notches and slight muzzle wear. The 98% description is taken directly from the Blue Book description of a 98% gun. If the gun is 98%, then $4k may be high.
