On Saturday I bought a lovely 629-3 5", Classic, complete package, on lay-away.
This morning I went in to pick it up. After all the paperwork is done and the gun is in the bag Tom, a clerk, pulls out an 8 3/8" SS Revolver. "I did not see this come in.." It is a 629-4 Classic Dx but without box or papers and with small original combat grips.
I had read the thread about 1990s Smiths are good investment. Basically Classic were made over a period of years but the Classic Dx was made for only one year.
One Dx sold for $2,500.00 at auction (complete package) b/c two people both wanted it. Not your average auction.
I look on the tag and the price is only $750.00 OTD Hmm? Since I would be buying two guns today I asked for a break and got it for $725.00 OTD price. I had to just put it in lay-away.
How did I do?
If I had let that deal go I would be drummed off the Forums, banned for life.
So now I'll have sell a gun or two. I have a Nickel 3" 36 ND, pinned that might sell quickly. I'll research it. I am going off topic here.
