I get that. I work at at an LGS, my primary is used guns and the GB account.
I can guess what happened. The right price was what the seller paid.

AHH, I see. You're in the cat-bird's seat.
You probably get first crack at used guns, and probably a discount too!
I'm jealous!

I like the OP's gun, and would have bid on it. Haven't seen a 15 of any dash in an LGS for a very long time. Old Smiths are hard to come by any more. Sadly, Cabelas is about the only source around here, and they would have had 600 plus on that one, finish and all.
BTW, I like bruised ( not abused) guns!

OP
I picked it up on Wednesday and took it for a spin. Easily the most fun, accurate revolver I've shot.

Just something special about M15's - everything you need in a .38, including great sights.
One of my first 'retirement jobs' after my LE career was working p/t in a large, busy LGS.
One day a fella came in and either traded or sold a finish-challenged blued M15 4".
It had all the signs of having been a well-worn LE or perhaps Security revolver.
Before the guy left, I approached him and asked for 'the story' on it - he really had no idea. Stated his brother got it at a garage sale years before. No story.
Anyway, decided since I didn't have a M15 that this might be a good one. Mechanically very sound and tight as could be. Boss/owner made me shell out $150 for it.
S/N puts it at c.1970
It sees a lot of woods carry at the hunting lease, often with a couple of shotshells first up in the Summertime.
Great on the range, very accurate and don't worry about it getting a little rough use.
