I love 3rd Gens but....
$500 for a 6906 with one mag and no box/paperwork.
Heck, mine must be worth about $650.

That may be a good price in a few years. I wish I'd discovered 3rd Gens just a few years ago.

They aren't for the faint of heart ....
I shelled out $1600+ for a NIB WVSP 4566TSW.
Worth every penny.
These prices we consider high now will be reasonable come, oh, say ... 2016

I agree maybe in a few years but I just don't see it for a 6906 today. Guess I should question it too much. A buddy of mine sold a Ruger P85 for $800!!!! I sold it to him a few years ago for $200.

Amen to that! Even last year at this time they were reasonably priced, but since all the goings on took place, guns across the board have risen in price. Some have rebounded to almost pre-panic levels but 3rd Gens...not so much. I still find a deal every now & then, but you have to jump on them fast!

My 6906 was $329 just a few years ago . . . with one mag and no box. I think you can do better with a little searching.

That 3rd gen will last a whole lot longer than the memory of what you paid for it. Try to buy the equivalent all metal gun today and see what it will cost you.

That price seems out of line to me. I got one 7 months ago for less than $400 and that included two magazines, the cost of shipping, and the transfer fee. That being said, value to me isn't the same as value to someone else. I also know that if somebody offered me 5 bills for the one I own and one mag, that puppy would be gone immediately. I can replaced it for less.

I got mine 3 months ago for $375. It was like new in the box with two magazines and a new $80 "High Noon" IWB holster.
I sold one about 20 years ago and regretted it until I finally replaced it.

What would a NIB 6906 from 1994 be worth then?

That's stupid high and maybe it will be stupid higher in 2016 but that doesn't mean someone should pay the rip off price today. There is nothing special about the 6906. Around here they go $350-$450

I bought a lightly used 6906 with box, three magazines, Safariland 070 holster in 2008. I have to check my records, but I think I paid $275.00 for it. It belonged to a Capt. who was on a college PD, so it got next to no use. It was one of my better purchases.
Prices have been trending up over the past few years, but took a sharp turn up over the past year or so. I attribute that to people here talking them up so much. Let's keep that down in the future, we're only hurting ourselves.

Last year, I decided to change my semi-auto pistol collection to fit my shooting preference, single action 1911 style pistols. Sold my 59,3906, 5906, 6906, CS-45 and 4566. Man, I wish I still had them to sell at today's' prices. Geeze, I see carry worn 3906's and 6906's going for $595.

Just got a CDNN catalog today. 4046's for $339, or $479 in unissued condition.

I may have to rethink my preference of 9mm and .45acp......when talking 3rd. gens there seems to be a lot better prices for .40sw......probably because LE trade ins are hitting the market.....

Had the same thought but I would just add to the 9s and 45s. Besides, what's one more caliber of ammo to buy

Ya'll might consider that 40SW has been a lot easier to find than 9mm for quite a while now. Just sayin'!

I've been having better luck at finding those calibers, too. What I meant to say was that when I couldn't find 9mm or .45 ACP, I could usually find 40SW. I don't shoot .22, but conversations with people & what I've read here make me believe that its still a bear to find.

NIB 4046's for $479 is amazing. Being all steel, they should be a real easy to shoot gun too. Very tempting!

I, too, just received the CDNN, ans saw the S&Ws for sale. Can anyone offer any experience or advice of buying a firearm from CDNN? It seems to be a reputable firm. Many thanks.

I've only purchased one gun from CDNN, but they are a class act. Good prices and pleasant to deal with. They keep FFLs on file so my LGS didn't even have to send it to them - just gave them the name of my shop and the gun appeared the next day. Couldn't be easier.
BTW, the gun was better than described, too.

Bought a 5906 from them a couple of years back. $299+ about $15 shipping. Arrived in a couple of days, and was probably better than described as far as cosmetics. It was supposed to be very good, but I wouldn't have had any problem if it had been advertised as excellent. Good outfit.

Supply and demand. As more cheaply made, current production junk guns, enter the market, with high MSRP's, the nicer guns made in the past continue to appreciate in value.
Up until the last five years or so there was a decent selection of 3rd gen guns for sale at reasonable prices. Those days are apparently gone. Regards 18DAI

Deals are out there on almost any gun you want, you just have to search often.
Hit the pawn shops and search the internet a few times daily. I love the hunt!
Look what this 6906 in the box with 3 mags went for: used Smith & Wesson 6906 $348.00 SHIPS FREE
That same 6906 will be worth a lot more 10 years from now.
Heck, I remember in the late 80's thru the mid 90's when the new high capacity 9's were all the rage. Gunshops could hardly give away S&W revolvers and now nice ones go for $500 to $1,500!
Wish I had kept the Model 29, 586, and 686 I bought cheap then - and then traded away for guns I don't remember now.........

Small rural shop about 8-9 months ago. 98% 6906 with 3 mags, box and papers for $350. Very low round count based on the inside. Outside was near new, one little "mar" on the bottom of the dust cover IIRC. I would bet it went to the range or out back once or twice and then spent a lot of time in the old mans sock drawer. I didn't need it, but I bought it.
