Yes it was 550.00. A friend of mine owns a local gun shop, I was there just killing time, when one of his regular customers comes in with it. The fellow was eccentric to say the least. He said that he traded 4 guns to get it and that he was just tired of it. The owner said he wasn't really interested in it due to the volume of 1911s he currently had. The man persisted and asked if he would trade it straight up for a new Ruger LCR. When the owner told he him that the Smith was worth more, he said he knew, and didn't care. In the end he traded straight up for a Taurus model 65. Which had a sticker price of 443.00! I couldn't believe it! When I asked the owner about it he said the guy is always in there doing crazy things like that. When I asked what price he was going to put on the gun his response was " I don't know, I didn't even want it, but he wouldn't leave me alone" then he said " I got 443.00 into it, if you want it I'll give it to you for 543.00" my blistering fast response "SOLD!"
