Default ballpark for 2nd Model Safety Hammerless?

Looking at a 5-shot, .32 S&W Mod 2 Safety Hammerless, 3 1/2" bbl., nickel plated, front sight is pinned. Described as 85% dull plating with 70% bluing on trigger guard. It has what looks to be pearl grips, I assume these are not original. Should be black hard rubber, right? Ser. no. 158163, action works perfectly and overall excellent condition. Asking price is $375. I'm thinking $350 or maybe a little less. What would be a ballpark figure for something like this? The nickel plating is definitely not the best, but doesn't look too bad. Appreciate any comments, and will try to get a photo up later.

Please move to Antique section! Sorry, for putting this here.

That 32 Safety would have been shipped in 1907, so it is not an antique. Anything under 90% eliminates almost all collectors, so demand is lower and so is the value. If the stocks have a gold medallion, they could be original, but if plain, they would be after-market. I can almost guarentee that near 100% 32 Safeties can be found for under $400 if you keep looking. I would not pay over $250 if it is less than 80% overall. People can ask whatever they want and sometimes they might get their price, but as evidenced on sites like Gunbroker, setting the price too high hardly ever results in a sale.
