67 no dash with matching box and tools. $400.
19-3 for $385 a few years back. No box.
15-4 with box, tools and papers. $300.

No dash Model 67, last year, $350.00
I would jump on this for. As I cant find a clean 67 around here at all!
I got this one for $350 + tax.....The guy at the shop said "Why would anyone want a revolver in 40 S&W?"

Having worked most of my life in a grievously underpaid profession, I've never bought a new Smith pistol or revolver. Every one I've owned has been very satisfactory to superb, and none has cost over $400.

Model 65 I bought new for $350, and a model 31 I paid $100 for from an estate sale.

This is a tough thread to gauge...time changes things and a lot of these beautiful guns have been with their current owner many, many years. Under $400 even 5 years ago ain't the same thing today.
Having said that these are some mighty fine lookin' guns!

This was my most recent one, about a month back.
To be fair, however, by the time I add in the Governor's cut and the $40 I paid for the set of grips on it now(in the picture) I'm in it $11 over $400. Hopefully, once I sell the fake pearls that were on the gun when I bought it, I'll be back under $400.

If I had bought this today taking into account the rate of inflation between 1987 and 2014, it would have cost me $416.01. Just above what this thread calls for. Yet still, I consider that a smoking hot deal. The vendor at the Virginia Beach gun show where I bought it had a pallet of brand new 29-3's! I think that is why I received such a good deal for a brand new 29-3.

Someone took a G19 for that gorgeous 686? That's the trick! Get a few Glocks and start trading to the younger crowd who have their Dad's guns!!
(That may not be what happened here but still something to think about!)Seriously...that's a smokin' deal all day every day. The 686 is already worth twice the Glock and only going to increase in value...the G19?...eh...not so much.
Got this pre model 10 for $300. What look like blemishes are just a poor cell phone picture
It bums me that as I travel around I see displays full of jamamatics and very few S&W revolvers and used ones are really rare and when you do see them the price is way high. Is it just Montana???
Got a 1917 that is nice except for the barrel for 3 bills recently to.

Just Happened!
Last Thursday I stopped by a local pawn shop and found a Model 39-2 in very nice condition. After negotiations I ended up paying $350.00. I'd been looking for one for over a year but the ones I saw were too beat up or way too expensive.

My two Smiths make the cut...
In regards on my pride-and-joy 686-2 (with light action trigger and Pau Ferro grips) I bought from a good friend and co-worker, who was downsizing his collection. This I gave $400... the 10-5 was considerably less.

Here's a 39-2 I got for $375 two years ago.
And here is a 14-2 I paid $350 for this winter.

The Glock turned into a P220R carry which in turn changed into the no-dash no-m 686 pictured. The revolver also included the original box, paperwork, and wax paper
Eventually I'll send it back home for the -m recall but I'll probably wait until I have the money saved up for a master action job at the same time

I agree completely but the idea here, atleast for me, is to be able to view some of the guns that may never get a day to shine, shooters, work horses etc.
To figure out the cost in today's dollars, use this handy Inflation Calculator:
Inflation Calculator | Find US Dollar's Value from 1913-2014
As an example, my 1987 $200 Model 29-3 in today's dollars would be $416.00.
