I think that's a fair price in today's market if it checks out good.

Try to get him down if you can. $525 would be a good offer.
If it`s in good shape that is a fair offer. Its a good place to start to bring it a little lower.
Good luck

The 686-3 run started in 1988 but the serial no. from the frame behind the yolk would help to tie it down more closely.

You can offer less.....
....and it would be great if he takes it. But being a 4" and vintage where they just had the bugs out I wouldn't mind putting out the asking price one bit.

Yes, the 686-3 might be one of the most desirable of all the 686s, especially with the 4 inch barrel. All the perceived positive changes have been made and none of the perceived negative ones. Do the box, docs and original stocks come with it? If so, I think the price is quite fair. If no, it's still fair.

Ask if he has the original Target Stocks. They're worth something around $80. Even if you don't like TS's, don't leave them on the table if you can help it.

It looks in great shape. I think that the 686-3 and 686-4 are the best versions out there and $575 is very fair price.
I'd jump all over that for $550.
You wouldn't touch that in my neck of the woods for less than $725.!!

WHEN DECIDING ON WHETHER TO BUY A M686 4" NEW, BEING THE -6 AT $650 LOW END TO $725 HIGH END I COMPARED THEM TO THE PRE LOCK MODELS ESPECIALLY IN THE 4" AND FOUND THAT THE PREMIUM PEOPLE WERE ASKING FOR WAS RIDICULES, IN SOME CASES FOR THE NICER CONDITION THE DIFFERENCE WAS $150-$200 FOR THE PRE LOCK. I EVENTIALLY GOT A GREAT DEAL ON THE 686 SSR 4" 6 ROUND.I HAVE NO REGRETS. I SHOULD SAY MY BUYING SOURCE WAS GB, BUT I CHECKED ALL THE USUAL SITES. I HAVE NO IDEA BASED ON MY SEARCH WHY WHAT YOU ARE DESCRIBING ESPECIALLY DUE TO THE CONDITION WOULDN'T BE A EXCEPTIONAL DEAL. I DON'T SEE ANY REASON TO NICKLE AND DIME IT IF YOU ARE SATISFIED. SOMETIMES A GOOD DEAL IS JUST THAT.

THE 686-3 IS A GREAT GUN. THE 4" SEEMS TO BE THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER BARREL LENGTH. THAT PRICE IS VERY REASONABLE FOR A NO-LOCK 686 IN THE CONDITION YOU DESCRIBE. I WOULDN'T PASS ON IT...

WHAT IS EVERYONE YELLING ABOUT?!?!?!?!
I would take that in a heartbeat for the price. Put some nice looking wood grips on it and you could make an easy $200
I've witnessed 1 prelock 686 on Wisconsin Armslist in the last few months and it was a 6" -3 for $800 and it sold in a couple hours
