Is that in the "too nice to shoot" category? Normally, I don't care for nickel guns as much as blued, as they tend to look a bit more shabby when they get some wear on them. That revolver, however, is a thing of beauty. Congratulations on acquiring such a high quality piece.
Just another old Model 10

Nice and shiny!
+1 on WATCHDOG's post! I'd love to find another Model 10-8. I have yet to find one that "trips my trigger" (hahaha) like my first.
OP
Well, I went to the range today ................. and I didn't take the Kate Upton Model 10. Given my byline, you would think I shoot them all, but this one's too nice. Its not like I don't have other Model 10s to shoot. They all shoot great, and I'm sure this one does too. So sure, in fact, I don't even have to test my theory. Its in the safe next to my unfired blue 19-2 snubby.
ISIS1200L - its a shame you aren't in beautiful Colorado, 'cause the same guy had an unfired 10-8 in the box
PS - I'm pretty sure the aforementioned actual Ms. Upton wouldn't receive the same treatment.

I have a model 10-8 Sn 3D419XX I know nothing about this revolver except I like it. Pretty fair condition, would like to know more if someone would share their knowledge on year and value, that would be great. Posting in Tn. at the NRA convention what a madhouse, can't stir us with a stick . Life is good

Too many dealers are pricing basic guns like this to sell to the likes of Bill Gates or the Sultan of Brunei. Indulging them just encourages this practice.
I won't buy any nickeled gun, but even if I would, I wouldn't pay over $450 for one, especially without the box, papers, and acc. That also applies to what I WOULD buy: blued or stainless guns.
Premium items, like .44 Magnums, might get $750 or so from me. Not being a collector or resale dealer, it doesn't bother me to buy a gun without the box, if it's in top condition. I can always put it in a nice zipper case, which I do anyway, box or no box.
I don't buy finish - challenged, rusted, or pitted guns at all. I don't have "truck guns" that are rough.
Other people do these things. I can only answer in terms of what I'd do or what I've seen. And it'd be a premium gun to get over $500 from me, not something that was meant originally as a police service gun or close to it. To me, those are $350-450 guns, and if one looks hard enough, they do turn up.
YMMV, of course.

As stated, I'm pretty sure it would shoot exactly as great as my other model 10s, so no need to do that. That makes a grand total of 2 that only get ogled. It sits right next to my 19-2 snubby in it's box. Frank V

Well that's a great oogling six-gun!
It'd easily qualify for a BBQ gun too!
