THIS ONE TOOK MY BREATH

Buyer did pay according to Jack The Dog's feedback.

l cross-checked buyer's(Latino lnfadel) feedback too.

Just goes to show S&W lovers word is their bond.

Obviously the HP was worth it to the buyer. They

set the price in the end

I don't believe that price reflects any sense of reality.

 

[xray97]

Wow, I don't know what else to say, just wow.

 

[TAROMAN]

Looks like that box must be worth about $900 bucks!

 

[chud333]

zelda, I bought a 6" (28) no dash in Dec. on GB for $450. 95% or so. Just think what I could with the other $1,000! I did not get a box (boo hoo) I lucked out, as it is clean, accurate and fun to shoot. Bob

I can remember when Model 28's were common, and relatively inexpensive.

People were trading them in on Model 29-2's.

I traded in my 1977 Belgian made Browning High Power, to buy my first Model 29-2.

I sure wish I would have bought one of those Model 28's, AND one of the Colt Python's, that everybody seemed to have in relative abundance, back then.

I remember when the M-28's were looked down on as the blue collar revolver, for those who could not find or afford an M-19. If we only had a crystal ball then.

 

[ryan01]

I had one back then, never cared for it. Didn't do a thing for me. Now my model 13, I will never sell.

I think the 28 is one of the most interesting looking revolvers made by S&W. From the two tone finish and the smooth topstrap, and smooth rear sight, just a great looking gun. I was lucky enough to find a 6" S# w/box, early part of last year and a 4" N#, that was a Christmas present to myself. Very unique revolvers. Would not sell either one.

same auction site and seller had a 1917 s&w revolver. this gun
was a 98% and it brought $2060.00. one hell of a price!!!!

the price on the HP unreal!!

 

[arjay]

Turned into a pissing contest at $800! Good for the seller lol.

 

[Maximumbob54]

It was in pretty decent condition with box and stuff. It's not as if it's getting easy to find anything like that these days. So maybe some young collector decided they had to have it.

 

[nipster]

I dont know what happened there, but it is definitely not indicative of current value. Wonder if the guy will actually get paid.

Did he get 2 or 3 of them for that money ???

 

[Combat]

I don't see a problem. I'll gladly sell mine at that kind of price.

I don't see a problem. I'll gladly sell mine at that kind of price.

I have an earlier 28-2 (than the auction one) that is indeed NIB/ unfired. I could have saved the buyer $400

 

[CajunBass]

It doesn't bother me one way or the other. If someone has the money, and wants to spend it for something they really want, it's OK with me. I couldn't have done it, but I'm sure I've "overpaid" for others I've got.

 

[ladder13]

Jack the Dog always gets top dollar, were I to sell my collection he'd be the guy I would use.
Btw, JTD is top notch, I've bought from him before.

 

[Art Doc]

NIB with all goodies always brings top dollar. Collectors have money and will spend it on the right gun.
