In my area they would have been priced at $600 - $650 each and talk down to $550 if you were lucky. $1,100 is along way from $850. You did well.
I just picked up a 4" 686-5 that I am sure did not have a box of ammo fired through it, and Zero Holster wear. I figure I have $600 in it. I was very happy with the deal.
My wife took over my 686-1 for her House Gun 20 years ago. Now I have another 686 that I can claim.

Nice deal, and great guns!
Better buy a bigger safe while you still have some money!
I had to go and buy another safe and a couple of these
Amazon.com: Rack'Em 3 Pistol Holster In-Safe Handgun Rack: Sports & Outdoors
but I bought them from their manufacturer
:: rack'em racks ::
they dont show a picture of the product but if you call/order the part number 6020 your good to go. I installed them in a few safes and a few firearm cabinets and they really clean/free up the shelves.
Its a good addiction dont fight it
As these 686's are my first revolvers, I'm thinking about buying another one. Anyone have any recommendations? I was thinking about a python, but I'm also looking at other smith's. I've started looking locally as I might trade off my G17 and browning Challenger II for something.
Nice set of 686's you have there. I thought I would post my one and only 686 no dash just for fun. It came with these knock offs, and it currently wears Ahrends, but I now have a set of period factory targets on the way for it. Great shooting gun! I have been trying to induce a failure, as in the recall, but so far it has worked perfectly.

An early Model 27 would be a great addition.

4in Stainless and 8in Blued Pythons are available at JOJO's GunWorks.
I just called them, they wanted 1800 for the 4in stainless with no box and 1800 for the 8" no box
These guns are all over the place when talking about pricing.

Everyone needs a snubbie. Maybe think about one of them.
