6906 Performance Center price?

[Lmasoninc]

Hey guys I'm helping my father sell some of his guns to help with personal issues going on and I came across a gun in his cabinet that I cant find much info on. It is a S&W Performance Center 6906 compact 9mm. It has never been fired or been a carry, the gun and the two magazines have the performance center logos on them. He still has the original gun shop tag from when he bought and it claimed it was limited edition with only 100 made. I was wondering if anyone has any input on this gun and what would be good price to ask for.

VPCxxxx serial number prefix
Product code 170067
Special order number 5261

Thank you very much,

That is a Shorty 9 and they command a fairly hefty price. I have seen several for over $1,000 on auction sites in the last few months.

Ya the only one I could find with a price was gander mountain sold a used one for $1400

Sweet gun........ I have one from the same run mine serial # is "VPC 00xx" ...got it used from a buddy (managed a gun shop) in 95/96....I swapped out the adjustable sights for Novack's, stippled the grips,cut down the finger rest on the mag (non PC) and stippled that also ......... it became/and still is my primary hi-cap CC gun since 1995/6. Mine came w/ one 12 and one 15 rd mag (w/ spacer)

I picked up a second, PC compact 9 a couple of years later..... slight differences.... the front strap is not checkered, but it came w/ Novack sights. It's still LNIB w/o the box d---it!

These guns are keepers........... there will be no more........buy it form your Dad if you can............ mine are on the very "short list" on "will not give up" guns...........

You will love it ....... they shoot like target guns!!!!!!!!!

If it is as good as it looks in the picture it would bring over 1k on the auction sites...maybe quite a bit more on the right day. It is, I believe, the least number produced between the 9's, 40's and 45's. You shouldn't have any trouble selling it here in the classifieds. If I didn't already have one I would be all over that one!

Put it this way...it ain't cheap!! Unfired in box at least $1200 and up to a collector. JMHO

Buy it from your dad...you will regret it if you don't.

 

[raidersrule]

I think $1,200 is on the low end of possible prices that it will bring in that condition with the box.

Sell it here to someone who really wants it and I think you'll definitely get value from the gun, both monetarily and knowing that it is going to someone who will appreciate it and shoot it.

 

[Lmasoninc]

Well it looks like I came to the right place, I am impressed with how quick you guys reply and with good advice! I know I will regret not trying to make a deal with him but I would prolly just leave it sitting in my safe like he did lol. I always use my go to cz-75 sp01 for all my target shooting even though it weighs as much as a brick.

 

[BAM-BAM]

Lmasonic.......... my advice; keep a couple of your Dad's guns....... the one's he ........the ones that are "his guns".........

that said; these PC's guns are.... some of the best S&Ws made .... from the early days of the PC....short runs........ some day they may rank up there with (OK close to) the Reg. Mag.s..........

MHO....fwiw........lol

Hi Luke, you have a real jewel there sir. If this is one of your Dad's weapons you need to hold on to this. If it is a must sell situation, this weapon can command 1400+ to the right collector. I would not allow yourself to be low balled on this one. Magnificent collectible piece here. I drool looking at it.

 

[Lmasoninc]

I showed him this forum tonight and I'm pretty sure we are still gonna go ahead with selling it. He hasn't purchased a gun or have been shooting in the last 10 years but from speaking with him I think we might ask more towards the higher end of the pricing and if it takes a year to sell that's fine. Hate beating up the same question but I've heard several responses saying 1200-1400+ is the minimum, whats the higher end you guys would think these go for nib like the one I have? I have a feeling if a collector comes looking there won't be too many of these for sell at once.

I would put it up at $1500 and even then there may be the buyer who would pay more...timing is everything when looking for top $$. At $1500 you aren't giving it away and the buyer isn't quite over paying, just paying pretty stiff. JMHO and good luck with the sale. Mine's not going anywhere...

Don't you know? is it not your gun?

ARMSLIST - For Sale: Extremely Rare Smith & Wesson 6906

if you want to ask 2 grand for it, you are more than welcome too but IMO that gun is 800-1200 dollars with 1200 being the peak of that range. I gave less than 800 dollars for my pristine Shorty 40 and most of the Shorty 9 mms I have seen in the history on GB or GA have not sold for over a grand. If you do not need money then keep it or if you want to see what it is really worth then list it on an auction site and set a minimum reserve. One thing about it you are not going to find someone in the Ft. Meyers area to buy it from you so you will need an auction site to pull off a bigger number than 500 bucks.

Good Luck with it, the 6906 is not that special and regular models sell for 300-500 dollars all day every day most performance center models for 150-200 dollars more than that.

Most of the ones responding to you are the ones owning the gun, I own a 3913TSW non rail and have not seen another for sale since the two years I have owned it but that does not make it a 2 grand gun.

 

[Lmasoninc]

Yes that is my listing and I put that up yesterday when I was just guessing at prices and going off just one used I found sold on gander. Thanks for the input and ill do some adjusting on price, that's why I came here

I agree it isn't a 2k gun but I can also say I have seen guns go on auction sites for more than is reasonable. I only paid $900 for my Shorty 9 but I would have paid more. Mine is LNIB and while fired very little, less than 50 rds, it was fired. The regular 6906 was produced by the gazillions while the PC version is scarce.

A rare unfired LNIB gun attracts the collectors and they will pay a premium for those qualities...$1500 may be the top end but I think it can be done. Again...JMHO.

You will find a buyer for it, I would personally ask 1200-1500 like has been said and go to GA with it. It might not sell at 1500 but I could see 1250ish for it, maybe. I would buy it if I did not have a big turn off on the 6906, they do not fit my hand very well. Lots of correction 6906s out there for 300 - 400 bucks. Stay away from a pawn shop with it.

Things that make you go hmmmm....

Going to go ahead and keep the gun in the family. Thanks for the input fellas
