617 question
I'm selling a browning shotgun and the buyer is offering me cash and this 617 SS 10 shot 6" barrel. He said it was purchased new 3 years ago in Tucson and has the case and all paperwork.
What is a fair value on this handgun.
Btw...great site and hello...looks like I will be spending some time here. :-)
Thanks in advance for your replies.

As others have said, the lock and aftermarket grips impact the value, plus the 6" barrel versions are less popular than the 4", so I'd say between $500 and 600 depending on condition.
By the way, welcome to the forum.

I'm just curious as to why the grips would negatively impact the value of the revolver? I think the stock grips would have been Hogue rubbers and the aftermarket grips are Hogue exotic wood grips, checkered, and with the grip cap. If I were purchasing it I would consider them an upgrade. Just depends on the buyer I guess.

An eye of the beholder issue. The very first thing that I do to a S&W revolver when I purchase it is to get rid of the UGLY goodyears that don't fit my hands, and put on some Ahrends grips. I consider it an upgrade. I save the goodyears to put back on if I sell the weapon. I sell factory Combats off revolvers because they don't fit my hands either, and use the money to buy grips that better suit me. BTW--The revolver @ the far left of the row is my 617.....

Thanks for the input gentlemen...so then around $500-$600 is a good price?
Btw...I like the look of the 4" barrels...looks more balanced and proportionate.

I would guess the $500 thru $600 is pretty low ball. That is more like the "what I would like to find one for" price.
In my area it would probably be in the $600 thru $650 range with the factory Goodyears on it.
Then you have a set of $100 grips on it. Not my first choice in wood grips, but still way better then Rubber. I would realisticly add about $50 for the grips.
That leaves us at about $650 mark.

IMHO, the 4" is the best balanced--both physically and visually--and the most versatile. It's short enough to carry concealed, easy to carry in the field, and gives up nothing in accuracy for target shooting, and little in velocity for hunting. It's my favorite length....

You would be hard pressed to find one here for under $600 to $650 if it was in good condition.

Welcome!
Nice looking gun, and nothing wrong with Hogue wood grips.
If You decide to go with the offer, I'm sure You'll thoroughly enjoy shooting the 617.
I bought My 4" model new in 1992, and never once regretted the purchase.
A new 6" model with target trigger and hammer was also offered to Me, and I didn't have the money to buy both guns........that I do regret.
