I've been checking out a model 1006 10mm with two magazines. Very clean firearm. It doesnt show much or very little wear. Doesn't looked to be fired very little. I havent run across one of these. What is a good price to offer. Any help would help.
 
They appear to be getting pricier about every day.

My two are not going anywhere anytime soon. One G for a clean one with a couple of magazines would be gone before you even got there.

I agree $1,000 for a clean example with two mags would be a good buy. I just bought one with two mags for $900, but it has a lot of minor scratches. It is sound mechanically so I think it was a good buy, even though I will need to invest in a bead blast and grips to get it looking right.

I should add that I am based in Commiefornia, where the Byzantine rules make buying these things complicated. You can't just go on Gunjoker and order one. Often that drives up prices locally, but the rules also make it cumbersome to sell them so sometimes I think it results in good deals here. In general, if you are patient I think the prices for these kind of out-of-production guns are not that different from the national market.
 
I have a 1066 with no box and 9 mags with separate new springs and followers.
I listed it all for $2k a year or two ago and received many $900 offers.
I have $2k tied up in it so it doesn't make sense to lose money, but since gun owners are cheap its difficult to sell anything of value.

I don’t know about cheap, but we like to think we’re getting a good deal through a little negotiation. Perhaps if you asked $3000 and accepted $2000. :D
 
The problem with that is they don't do it at the grocery store or with utility companies, etc, etc, so why insult/waste the time of a gun seller?

I think your perspective is a little twisted up. What they do at the grocery store and with the utility company is irrelevant, this is the gun market and this has been the gun market for decades and it’s ludicrous to pretend you don’t know that. I’m certain you know that.

A 1006 with no box and 9 mags isn’t likely to sell for $2,000 regardless of how much of your money is tied up in it and I think we can detail why…

There’s two different buyers that want two different parts of this package specifically. While we hardcore S&W Forum and especially the 10xx pistols lovers know the market for these magazines is nutbar, we do not pay those prices. We don’t, and almost without exception, we NEVER have.

The only guys who pay north of a hundred for a single S&W 10mm magazine are the guys who recently lucked in to a pistol and had no idea the magazine prices went batspit stupid years ago.

Do you want to turn what you have in to $2,000? Sell the 1006 and one magazine, depending on the weather that day and if you have ugly adjustable sights and how nice the finish is, you could pull $1,200 for it.

That leaves you with 8 magazines that you could sell for $100 a piece and guys would trip over themselves to get them.

Or sell ‘em at $125 a piece and do even better.

Grocery store, for real? What about a used car or a motorcycle. How bout fancy used watches or antiques. Do you wait for the weekly flyer and try to get double coupons when you take your shopping cart to the used car market? Hoping for a $10 mail in rebate after you send in the receipt?

Genuinely… taking offense at offers lower than you’re willing to accept is letting nonsense live rent free in your head. Those offers will never end because our market is loaded with folks who haven’t got half a clue what Dad’s old gun was worth when they take it to a gun show. And this is exactly how the used gun market works and this is what keeps the market hopping. We find great stuff at prices we are willing to pay because somewhere up the chain, someone simply wanted it gone and wasn’t sitting at the table with a calculator and an amortization schedule.

So to beg a few questions - did you list a 1066 (5067 made) or a 1006 (26978 made) for $2000 with 9 mags? - condition of pistol? - assume the mags were factory SW mags in good condition (dont know of any second source)? - and where did you list it? As to low balls - you will always get those - more or less is a factor of how and where you list - just ignore.

As suggested in another post - separate 1006 pistol + 2 mags - ask $1200 if good condition (if 1066 ask $1500) and list 7 mags on ebay for Buy it Now $200 ea - if mags dont sell relist starting auction at $150 ea - you should get that on ebay.

It is the smaller 1066.

9 factory used mags with additional new from numrich, springs and followers for all 9 mags.

I listed it on 2 different gun forums and Armslist.

Thank you for suggesting eBay I hadn't thought of that.

I had put it as a package for less money to try to avoid cheapskates. Looks like I'll have to split it up.
Thanks again.

Make sure you clearly identify as 1066 Compact TDA (as opposed to Full Size 1006 TDA). Best place in my mind is classifieds below (See comments on 1076 post). Next best is GunBroker. I havent used Armslist or Guns.com but they seem to be less effective in their listing and search options.
As to ebay, I believe they limit you to mags with less than 10 rds as of 2024 but these are 9rd - watch individual state regs.

In excellent condition a M1006 with two 9-rd mags with the white followers is easily north of $1K, and with box & papers, more like $1500-$1600.

10XX-series mags in excellent or LNIB condition with white followers are north of $100.00 each just by themselves.

With any S&W 10XX-series gun, the real question in the transaction isn’t how motivated the buyer is, but how motivated the seller is. That will drive pricing.

Is he patient and willing to let the market get him his price, …. or does he want to move it quick for a new toy?

Wow.

Maybe I should list mine.

No way I would pay $1000 for a 1006. Mine is in pristine condition and I paid $600 for it.

Hmmmm......Wonder what my unfired 4546 that still has stickers on it and of course it's "box and papers" would go for? Of course, a few mags included.
 
Gave $1250 for mine, excellent condition with box and papers.Not a steal, but a fair price IMO. Mine has the adjustable sights, a plus in my book!

I agree with Sevens, the most profitable way to sell a 10XX is to separate the mags from the gun. A couple years ago at then Big Reno Show, I sold my 1006 (95%) with one mag for $1100. If I were going to sell my 1076 with 1 mag I’d ask $1200; the extra mags (12) for $125 and a NOS in blister pack for $225. Don’t currently want to sell, but if I did I’d sit on em until I got my asking price.
 
So I wonder what my 'FBI Model' 1076 is worth.. I have the S&W documentation that says it was sold in California (yep.. it ain't a 'real' FBI 10mm!)

Well then, silly, it won’t fetch near what a real FBI model 1076 would with the vetting paperwork from Mr. Jink’s office. ;)
