17-2 What do you think it is worth?

[Corgilover]

I decided not to get the Pre-17 K22 for $550. A couple days ago I came across this one. What would you pay for it?

 

[hkcavalier]

Pictures are pretty small but looks like a solid $500-$600 in these parts. What was the K22 like?

 

[AJ]

$600-$650, maybe a bit more depending on how bad I wanted it.

Even though the pics are terrible I'd have given $550.00 if it checked out mechanically. Without hesitation.

If the pre-17 was in good shape, that was a good price and I would have jumped on it. Now as far as the 17-2 from what I can tell from the pictures it's probably in at least very good condition, if it's mechanically sound, and the book lists it at $625. One, it's really hard to tell from the pictures; two, we can't say without at least a description of it's mechanical shape and what are they going for in your area? Let me give you an idea of how prices may go. Recently I went into a LGS and he had a beautiful model 43 in excellent condition with no extras such as a box. The price tag read $950, I offered $700 thinking it was a good place to begin bargaining for it, no dice, no coming down. Now, the book lists this revolver in excellent condition at $750 and as new in the box for $900. I wanted it and would have gone to $800 however, it's not in my collection and won't be for the price being asked. The book I keep mentioning is the newest edition of the Standard Catalog of Smith and Wesson, 4th ed. All we can give is a rough ball park figure when someone asks for a value. Again, I really thing you should have purchased the pre-17, that price with all things being good was fair. Newer doesn't always mean better!

Pre-17

The pre 17 K22 is in one of the other post that I posted recently couple weeks ago for asthma local gun shot that gun had would like rust on it most of the blue and gone and pretty much everybody on that post thought it was way too much money at 5:50 which I agree so I passed on it the 17-2 from what I can tell little bit bigger pictures looks like it's in good shape and looks like and what the seller said mechanically it's in really good shape I have not had a chance to see it in person yet as it is a little over 1 hour or so drive from my home

Definitely worth the drive for a look see. Assuming very good + condition, no box, easily $700 or more in this (expensive) Colorado market. I have 4 K-22's. The 17-4 shoots like a rifle to 100 yds.

I bought a 17-2 in July. No box or papers. VERY nice gun though. Started out at $500. I paid $550 "Buy it Now" It is so accurate & fun to shoot! Bob

Looks like at least a solid $500.00 gun around these parts.

After all ...... how many does a fella see for sale these days that aren't in crappy condition or seriously over priced? Gotta grab 'em while you can!

Less than the pre-17.

The pre 17

Was a beater with almost no bluing left-handed but pity none of it is really one of the worst condition things I've ever seen. gun store I have a whole thread on this one. And the beat up pre 17 they wanted $550 for it.
