A very clean M19-3 blued 4inch barrel with Rosewood grips and the box sold on Gunbroker this week for $1525. Add sales tax and shipping and you have $1650 or so in it. On the opposite end of the spectrum was a M19-4 Nickel also a 4 inch barrel with some scratches but a nice gun all the same was at $899 with no bids.
Are Prices on Used S&Ws Dropping?

They have gone up about 50-60% in my area, and I haven't seen them come down yet. Crappy beat up model 36's running around $600-700 when they were $299-399 a year and a half ago. Other models like 617 and older .38 specials like model 15's seem to have gone up from like $599-699 or $799 or $999 for average models.

When you say used Smith and Wesson revolver to most of us we think pre lock and pinned barrel. You may be thinking of a used but relatively new revolver. The revolvers made before 1982 are only gonna go up. The newer ones will rise with the rate of inflation.

I sold my (nib) Chief Special .38 no dash stainless on here about 3yrs ago to a Forum Member for like $650.00
I missed it so much I called him back about 12 mos ago. and he told me it was still in his safe & un-fired and new in the box still.
Asked me if I could give him some profit. I told him sure. I got it back for like..$850.00 I was so happy still am. Lol!!!
I am seeing same model 60 like mine (nib) with docs go for like near $1400.
Best move I ever made. I bought it new in 1987.

Well, I should of clarified. What I meant was that.."Collector Quality Smiths" with documents are "breaking the bank".
Just like "Collector Cars"...also different sections of the country will have somewhat different price variations.

Just seems like "collectibles" from guns to cars to antiques are all bringing higher prices. Of course condition is the key.

The P&R magnums are going nuts. The rimfires have been high for some time, long before the current craziness. No one, not even S&W, makes a heirloom quality rimfire revolver.
You can still get awesome deals on .38s and older non-magnums. I just took possession of a nice shooter-grade 1917 for less than 9 bills, and its competition was a Colt 1917 that sold for just over $600.

When this thread started in 2009 and prices today fun read
March 2009
'' I looked for some time for a used model 13 well I found one that was tight, timing in, though the finish about 90% due to not seeing many I went with it 300.00 +" Today you can't find a used one for $600
''a NIB PC327 with everything from the factory( even the warrenty and unopened the fired empty shell casing) for sell at my local gunshop for $899, I played with the gun and love it but i thought it was too much $.'' Try over $1200 now
Mean while in the bargain section I just won a cosmetically challenged 1902 I frame 32S&W long that should be a fifth change from in the 19eens for $200.
