A 50/50 mix of alcohol and testosterone.
I have a local shop that does that. I think they're looking for the clueless buyer to walk in and offer $600, then walk out thinking he got a heck of a bargain.
Believe it or not I paid $425 for this one in June of 2019 with 3Ts and original SS sights.
My how things have changed in just over 3 years...

Man! Makes me want to get the ol' barrel stretcher out! I got a couple guns that I'd part with for crazy money like that! 
With those grips, you might get that much on GB these days. A -1 ~1980 with box and papers just closed at $1880 over the weekend. With rubber grips, and the pics do not even show the s/n on the box. The details with lots of pics can be found here:
Just a moment...
Admittedly, there were only 2 people bidding at the end, and it was a Sunday night, but maybe you should track down the loser of that auction!

Just think of how much that gun would have fetched if the face of the cylinder had been cleaned properly. Unless there is something going on now that people need to know for sure that the gun can be fired... ????
There is definitely some dirt visible here and there, and in the hi rez pics (bottom of the listing), there are shiny spots on either side of the front of the barrel, that look like holster wear, at least to me. I also find it interesting that the seller does not show the end of the box where you can usually find the serial number, but they DO show the other end.Just think of how much that gun would have fetched if the face of the cylinder had been cleaned properly.

Thanks for reminding me why I avoid gunbroker
Even a night with an 81 year old Raquel Welch might be worth it!
She still looks pretty impressive for 81, but I'm not sure either of us would be up for making one night worth that much dough.
The shop that has this S&W is notorious for high prices-has been for the past 30 years at least.
