Is this a fair price on a 14-3?

[Austerity]

Looking at a mint condition 14-3 6" with Bo-Mar rib. No box, docs, or anything else but the gun. Looking to see what a fair price would be. And yes, I have looked over sold auctions on GunBroker...doesn't tell me much other than between $375-1300.

Here are the only pics that I have:

Title of post is "Is this a fair price on a 14-3?" and you know what they sell for on GB.

So, what is the asking price?

Apologies. Post was rushed while at work.

This was offered in trade for a HK USP that I have posted up for trade, with a trade value of $700. I have also received an offer for a S&W 66-6 2.5".

$700 seems a little high but if you want it, what's a few bucks?

The trades might work depending what you have in them...

Thanks for the info. I will just pass on it. I didn't believe it looked mint myself, but according to him there isn't a blemish on it, it's just the flash that made it look that way. I really was looking for a 357, 2.5-4", and stainless. I don't know if I want to go for a 66-6 though, I had a 66 no dash in the past. I would really love a 686+ 3" or a 28-2 4". I also had my eyes on a Springfield Range Officer or a Ruger SR1911.

That's a really beautiful 14-3 you have there. I live right in the heart of Martinez.

I bought my 14-3 last August on G.B. Total price was $410. Very happy with it! One of my best purchases! Bob

Beautiful gun! I think I would really like one, I just don't know if trading something worth ~$700 is a good idea, even if I don't have that in it.

I personally would not put $700 into 1. 14's are really good shooters, but under appreciated. There are some good deals out there. KEEP LOOKING, 1 will come your way! Bob

Well I really wasn't looking for a 14. I was looking for a K/L/N frame 357 in 2.5-4" format. 66, 686, 19, 28-2 mainly. I'd also be interested in 29/629 or 625. Who knows

Since you were offered one, sounds like you answered your own question. Joe

False alarm to the whole thread, turned down the 14-3 and a 66-6, and got a 66-2.

I'd take any comparable condition 66 over the 14 myself. Especially a 66 snub or 3". Can't get much more versatile than that.
