I just saw a link where a 1006 with 2 mags sold for $1,804. Is that the new going price?

Would you care to share the link?
Yeah, I'd like to see that link too.

If true, that means mine's worth well north of $2K 
....
It's in minty condition and would come with the factory box, papers, and 15 'white-follower' magazines.
And three of those are still NEW in the UNOPENED plastic factory mag box.

The less-desirable adjustable rear sight and the mags with yellow-followers put the valuation of this sad dog about $800, ... give or take.
The factory box shown in the photo, if genuine, is a plus, but whoever wrote the description is a clueless moron as to S&W's 3rd Gen 10mms.

I have seen similar Model 1006's sell for $1200 or more here in California about as fast as they appear on a gunshow table or on consignment at a retail store.
$800 would be on the low side almost anywhere I think.
The yellow mag followers can be swapped out for the white ones and the springs replaced with new ones from Wolff for a nominal amount so I wouldn't let that deter me.

Minimum of $1000.
My 1006 was brand new in 1992 and though I have lots of white follower magazines, I have a bunch of the yellow follower also and it was shipped with two yellower follower magazines.
My yellow follower mags have run 150, 165, 170, 175, 180 and 200 grain bullets in JHP, JSP, LTC, LSWC and plated FP configurations now for what is apparently 2-1/2 decades plus and they don't choke on anything.
I didn't follow the link but a 1006 has to be a total beater or broken or missing parts to be worth under $800 in the year 2020. And more in California.

$1800? I think someone got caught up in the heat of the moment and decided they had to have it, regardless! Either that or they have, or did have, lots of money and little knowledge of what it is actually worth.

I agree that the pistol's valuation gets a boost when the sales context is California.
I was expecting there to be 8-10 magazines to go with. Regardless...if the buyer is happy, I'm happy for the buyer.

IIRC I paid $900-ish for a 1076 in really nice condition & considered it a good deal.
Throw in 10 mags with that 1006 & I might consider $1800.

I thought the TEU prefix stood for Test, Evaluation Unit for the FBI. Did not know they put them on 1006.

When did you get a 1076 for $900? If it was in the past 8 years you stole it.

Same with Massachusetts. Prices have been insane here for several years. Glad I bough my 1006 years ago! And 14 mags...

My guess is the California location of this sale has a LOT to do with the price. The 1006 is definitely not on the approved list, and it is definitely not C&R.
"less desirable" adjustable rear sight...........You'se gotta be kidding..........Adj. sights on ANY auto are MORE desirable. And should bring more.

LSB has been a premium seller on GB for a long time. I have purchased from them. Their website has an archive of some of their sales. A similar 1006 sold for $2,345 and was posted in the archive on 10/4/2019. If you paid $500 for one 15 years ago, you would be smiling.

I would normally agree with you. I almost always prefer adjustable sights on my guns with the exception of a carry only piece. However, in regards to 3rd gens I find the opposite to be true. I much prefer the fixed sights because the adjustable sights on the 3rd gems are so large and bulky as well as the opposite of pretty (IMO). Even when they came out they were generally eschewed because of looks. I believe the market generally gives more for fixed sight 3rd gens. Feel free to prove me wrong.
Of course the LPA and Aristocrat sights on the Performance Center guns are also exceptions. They look really good.

My bad... looked through my old PMs... it was $1100 w/2 magazines in Feb of 2018. Still no regrets. It's a VERY nice shooter.

10mm have been really hot lately. Only ones on the roster are the 3rd Gen G20 and the Kimber 1911.

Yep, definitely.
3rd Gen adjustable rear sights were impractical and atrocious-looking from the git-go. Moreover they're completely unnecessary on a dedicated carry gun.
Anyone claiming otherwise admits their 'taste' is confined to their mouth.

It sounds like you guy are pretty butt hurt.
By the idea that some of us might disagree with you. We did not mean to hurt anybody's feelings.
