Default Looking at three N frames.

All advertised at 95-99% condition.

First a M57, 4", blue, Cokes, S prefix, wooden box, tools.

Next a 27-2, 3.5", nickel, c.1977

Finally a M58, blue, non diamond magnas, assuming '68 or '69.

Thinking about a package offer.

I want to be fair and not embarrass myself. What would be a fair offer?

Also, just because I'm a Texan. Texas Parks & Wildlife commemorative 66-2 with knife and wooden box.

Anything around 4K would be fair. Less would be a deal. I know if the 57 had cokes and all of them are high percentage, I'd throw four grand at them.

That was excluding the 66. I guess it would be another 600 - 800.

Wow. That's an attractive sounding threesome.

You should do your homework and then ask yourself what they are worth to you.

First I would ask the seller to offer a price as a package to get some ballpark figure of what the seller thinks they are worth.

I am not an expert but as a quick, amusing exercise and assuming all are original with serial # matching grips or appropriate grips if not serialized.
57: $2K plus or minus $500
27-2: $1250 plus or minus $250
58: $800 plus or minus $200


I would guesstimate about $3 - 3.5K as a reasonable offer for the threesome? Maybe up to $4K if they are super nice.

The 57 is a mystery to me, but $2,400 to $2,600 would be fair for the other three, perhaps even a deal, so I agree with the $4k if the 57 is the real McCoy.

Yes, I was asking about the package offer on the N frames. The 66 is a sentimental pick.

Condition is the big variable, but $4K sounds about right. 99% condition is a premium. If all at 99%, $4K is a good deal for you... At 95%, a good deal for the seller. Other point: where else will you find that set? If it were me, I'd offer $4K and consider it well-spent. FWIW. Good luck!

if high condition, the 4" 57 with cokes and correct case is worth $3,500+ alone.

Start at $2,500 work your way up. At $3,500 show all new $100 bills count them out in front of him. Sweeten the pot one $100 Bill at a time. Final offer $4,000.

I am not being a Jerk, but I don't know if I agree with that.

That is High Python Territory.
