Yes, you should be able to find a 27-2 in nice shape for well under $1000; although probably not with the box/documents etc. Don't remember seeing a six inch lately but have seen a couple 8 3/8 27-2s in the $700-$800 range.
A nice 98% s&w m27-2 6" barrel in blue should be between $800 to $1,000. Anything lower is a steal. A better condition than 98% may cost a few hundred more.
Why settle for a lesser condition unless you want a shooter/truck gun/beater.
I see nice , really nice 3 1/2" 27-2's selling for 1000-1200 on auction sites. No box, just really nice guns. 98% boxed ones often sell for as much as 1500.00 +.
