Original owner Model 1006 current value?

KBeasley · Jun 25, 2021

Hello, I'm a total rookie here so go easy on me. I have a 1006 that I bought new (1992?). Serial number prefix is TFD. I have the original box, paperwork, 3 magazines (yellow followers), a Biachi holster and mag holder, and 150 rnds of ammo. This firearm is factory original with less than 300 rnds, and is un-molested in any way. I almost never take it to the range because of the scarcity and cost of ammo. In my ignorant opinion, it is at, or near, collector grade quality. I am interested in selling it to fund the purchase of another firearm (that I can afford ammunition for) and I would like some feedback on a reasonable price expectation.
Any info on selling strategy or value is much appreciated. Thanks.

Put it on GB with no reserve to get your best return.
I'd give you $1000 with everything you have pictured myself.
The 1006 is the most produced 3rd gen 10mm, 26,978 produced.
Nice package.

You can search auction sites such as GunBroker for "Completed" auctions - typically under "Advanced Search" options - which will give you an idea of what they have been selling for.

Just be sure the sale is legitimate - there have been about half a dozen 1006's "sold" in the $600-800 range recently which have turned out to be bogus sales - some items sold more than once with same info stolen off a legitimate posting elsewhere.

There seems to be a sudden rash of such fraudulent sales recently - especially high end guns at low prices - so tread carefully esp if seller has no or negative feedback.

On the legitimate side, I would guess $1000 up depending on condition and number of magazines - Add about $90 for each extra magazine above 2. Add for original box and condition.

A nice 1066 in "excellent condition" just sold at Cabellas on another site in the $1200 range with 2 or 3 mags but I dont think it had original box. The 1066 is probably slightly more desirable size and higher value due to lower production.

And while I would also give you $1000+ for quick sale, I think you are more likely in the $1200-1500 range.

If I was you , I'd sell it here . You've probably have had many offers already . My 1006 , like yours rear sight adjustable , is my favourite 10mm . My1076 I don't shoot much . I would say at least $1000 , maybe $1100-1200 . Knowing the guys here , it's probably already sold .

Charlie Foxtrott · Jun 25, 2021

I have two of them.

And I would not let either one of them go for less than a thousand dollars. Hold out on a nice package like that and you can likely get more IMO.

Agree - post it here in Classifieds is best option.

Figure cost of shipping and FFL if necessary on your end. Buyer would have to pay taxes and shipping if listed on Auction sites, split the difference and you should get a bit more here (also less the Auction site's cut) and he pays a bit less.

Nice 1086 (low production 1660 made but DAO) with 3 mags but no box currently listed here at $1500 (not mine).

26978 of 1006 made, 13805 of 1076, 5067 of 1066, 3125 of 1026, 1660 of 1086, and the winner is 151 of the 1046. Rare is more $ to collector (FBI documented 1076's are a premium) but TDA (1006 or 1066) is more desirable to user.

I would start at least $1200 maybe more and negotiate.

Few if any on here would let that package leave your hands for under $1,200 in today's market.

ladder13 · Jun 25, 2021

Start high, say $1600 for that package, you can always go down but not up.

Like he said, basically you're gonna regret it "hugely" if you sell it to fund another. Just save up and add to the collection, never swap one out for another.

I'd say that is a fair price, I'd even try starting a little higher. If you were selling your package in Canada you'd easily sell it for $2000 ($1625 US).

KBeasley....nice 1006 and looks in excellent condition....as stated above....think twice before selling. A few yrs back I had 2 1006’s, 1026, 1066, 1076 & 1086. I sold them all to help fund some beach property....I am just now beginning to purchase the S&W 3rd gen 10mm’s again....the price keeps going up....if you place it on the market outside of this forum, I would price it at $1500. Inside this forum $1,200 solid.

Good luck!

Cheers
David

Well, the model 1006 may have been the most produced of all the 10mm S&W autos, but they are now around 30 years old and ain't makin' them anymore.

So we have an excellent condition Model 1006 with original box & papers. Not that easy to find them with the original boxes anymore. They came with one spare mag. Add $75 for another spare mag. Add $75 for the Bianchi holster and mag carrier. Then add $150 for the ammo (at today's replacement cost)

I'd be thinking $1400 for the package and someone would be getting a very fair deal.

The closest thing on completed GB auctions I could find was a 1006 with box and docs and one mag that went for $1200(buy it now) two months ago. The OP’s pistol and box are in better condition, two mags and accessories. Based on that, I think that’s a $1400 to $1500 package here on the forum and a bit more at auction. The problem with an auction is that unless you’re an established top tier seller, you won’t get top dollar like they will, but you will probably do pretty well.

Just for ref - 6 1006 currently listed on GB - All appear to be legitimate sellers with positive feedback:
4 under $1000 - and only 2 of those have bids.
1 "NOS" listed at 1995 - no takers
1 with case & SW paperwork starting at $1450 with no bidders.

Disregard the 1046 at $7000 (rare 151 units) and crazy bidders. In fact disregard all other high $ 10xx (with possible exception of non-FBI 1076) as they were much lower number made and potentially more desirable.

Add the one mentioned before that sold recently at $1200
Add the ammo - if you intend to sell it (remember it may be challenging to ship ammo). Holster is nice, but unless it is what a buyer wants, it won't add much in my experience.

Factor in that you do not appear to have been a member of long standing or have a record on auction site (no offense meant, but it means you will not see the action that established sellers will get). Again, that means you would probably do better here on Classifieds.

I would start at $1400-1500 (nice 1086 currently listed at $1500 in Classifieds here) but be prepared to negotiate down to a floor - maybe as low as 1200-1300 - a number that roughly matches the "excellent" 1066 (but without box) sold earlier this week by BassPro / Cabellas.

And for a last reference, I broke down and traded for a very nice 1076 yesterday with a dozen mags (7 Accu-Glide and all but one with the more desirable white followers) and carry case - LGS had listed at $1995 - figure about $750-900 value for 10 "extra" mags so value of pistol would work out to 1100-1250 at LGS "Asking Price"

But personally, I would keep it and put away in safe and buy a 5906 or 6906 or other 9mm to shoot. There are some decent used 5906 / 5946 going around $500-600. And if you are interested I think I know of some decent used 5906 at $499 if seller still has them (PM me if you want info).

Best, Ed

Nice package.

Condition is LNIB, but this 1006 is, sadly, the less desirable 'target' model, being saddled with S&W's propriety adjustable sights for which there are no suitable aftermarket remedies.

For the gun itself and one mag, $900.00 max. With the box and extra mags, maybe $1100.00-$1150.00.

Tough love, I know.

Am I the only one that noticed that the potential seller has only one post and joined this month??.. Does not mean that it is not legitimate.. I would feel more secure on board member with more time and posts personally...

If buying I would probably want to talk directly to his FFL and verify FFL and gun.

OP only 1 post - join date yesterday - no responses from OP to his request for info? no thank yous, nothing - Hmmmmmm

$1500 min. If you settle for less, you were impatient. A year ago I happily paid $1100 for a shooter with 2 mags. Put your package on here for $1600+ and let it ride.
