640 no dash

[K9346]

I figured I'd come here to ask the experts.

What is the ballpark value of a 640 no dash, pre-mim, pre-lock, all stainless, and in .38Sp?

I have one but am looking to either sell or trade it, and I want to ask a fair price or have an idea what the trade value is.
Thanks, James

I sold one this summer for $450

I hope that helps.

It does, thank you

I have one and would not sell under $500. I don't even shoot it much, but I don't see them very often now.

The 38 Special version has a smaller cylinder window, and is very often preferred by collectors. It has more esthetic lines and most S&W collectors prefer it. Shooters only prefer the -1 or higher with the stretched window to accommodate the .357 cylinder. I have a 640 no dash and you won't be buying it for less than $700 (if I ever sold it).

I traded a nice 36-7 for a like new in box CEN prefix 640 with +P+ marking back in 2013. In 2014 I paid $475 for a 1994 vintage 640. The last 640ND I saw for sale was the end of last year, a worn looking example that the dealer wanted $600 for. That was too much in my opinion. They don't turn up all that often, but I would say $500 is a fair price for a nice example.

I have one of the CEN-prefix versions. It's not for sale, period. I've carried it every day for years. But if you want to sell yours and it's in decent condition, I suspect an asking price of $450 would be get it snapped up very quickly. I might ask for a bit more. They're fine guns.

I paid $450 for a very nice, early CEN serial numbered model back in 2012 - I'd agree $500 or south of it is palatable for a good one.

I agree with others that $500 is the max. Some feel that the "+P+" mark adds a $50-100 premium. I wouldn't pay any more just for that feature.

It's all dependent on what you, the seller wants to get for it.

If it were in my hands I wouldn't turn loose of it for less than 600.00.

These little gems as others have already mentioned just don't show
up very often and when they do they should demand top money.

They are not even close to being in the same class as a 442 or 642
should you decide to sell or trade keep in mind you have an upper
hand as to the fact it is a premium handgun.


For some dumb reason I had one many years ago that I took to a gun
show and overpriced it, someone called my bluff and paid my ridiculous
asking price, I'm still not over it.

Minimum of $500. They are sweet little guns.
