Welcome to the Forum

Without a factory letter, there is no way to provide you a shipping date. However thanks to tables that are listed in the Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson we can guesstimate the date of manufacture to be 1987

In today's market that is a reasonable price for a Model 586 in good working condition

Some of my best deals have come out of Pawn Shops. See if they will deal with you on price
