I had a "until payday" cash crunch so I was trying to borrow money against it. I saw a gun dealer with Buy Sell Trade so I stopped in. I'm sure that was his "buy" price though he did say the fact that it was a Lew Horton actually hurt the price. I was able to borrow what I needed elsewhere so I don't plan to sell it if I can avoid it. The only reason it was at risk was none of my other guns have sufficient value to be of use. It's the single most fun handgun I've ever shot. It's so much fun to shoot it makes my other .357 seem like work (almost). I'm gathering from responses so far that the dealer was mistaken about it's value. That is relief although I'd have had to pay a bit more than I did to really feel cheated.
