In looking at several gun auction sites, the "asking" prices on vintage S&W revolvers, especially the ones considered rare and new in the box or in excellent condition, are ridiculous these days. Would be too high for me. But it fits into the new "normal" asking prices at the present time and it might sell for that. I'm stuck in the past and remember the days not too long ago, you were able to find a new in the box or near new S&W 686 for $500-$700 tops! I'm old and set in my ways and won't participate in paying 3 to 4 times what something is worth, including guns and ammo. But thats just me. However, many is the occasion in the past that I have overspent on a firearm because I had to have it. Good luck with your decision.
