Default Value of M-37 no dash 3"

What's the approximate value, both private-party and gun store trade-in that I could expect to get for a model 37 no-dash w/ 3" barrel - excellent, though not mint, condition?
This one, to be exact: the picture actually doesn't do it justice.

I would guess about $300-325 to a private party, and given that once you find what a retail shop will give you, you'll want to sell it . Hope this is helpful.

Yup, with non-original but nice grips, I'd pay about $300 FTF. A store will probably offer you $225 or so.

Actually, it's wearing its original grips now - I guess I need to change that picture.
Thanks, guys.

Not an expert on values or pricing, but a friend of mine sold his M37 for $345, with original grips, box but no tools. I do not see M37's in my area often..

Yes. The Model 37 is called the "Airweight".

Well, get this. Today at lunch, I went to a gun shop south of Raleigh to see about trading in my M37 towards a used SC360 that they had in the shop.
First thing the guy told me was that my gun had "had the frame switched at some point because it was an aluminum frame". Well, yeah of course it has an aluminum frame - it's a Model 37 Airweight!
I knew I was in trouble at that point.
Well, let's just say that with the haggling on the price of the used SC360 (from $699 to $684), they were offering me $100 for my 37. That made my decision really easy - and the SC360 is still there if anyone is interested. Worse than "Pawn Stars"!
