We’ll definitely need to see some gun pics of that one !

Absolutely. Will post some when I get it home.

Rule of thumb we've used is to find out if the gun is currently being made and never offer more than a new one could be purchased wholesale, condition being the deciding factor, generally a hundred or so below that figure, and some guns are slow movers so it'll be even less...every Shop is different. Dealer wholesale on a 164300 Model 686 + L-Frame 357 Mag/38 Special +P 7 Shot 3" (least expensive 686) is $846. and there's shipping/insurance/lots of paperwork that go along with it...Five hundred seems light, but if it's something I have to invest my capital into with no guarantee of return or time involved, then that's all I might be willing to put into it. YMMV

I know where there’s a real pretty one for sale for $700 and it’s got everything that I’m looking for. Enhanced package , unfluted cylinder 3” barrel combat grips . I’m desperately trying to talk myself out of buying it because my gun slush fund is way too low but I’m not very successful at it. I’m looking to where I can scrape up some extra cash ,and possibly selling something thats been sitting in my safe for a while.
Even that’s hard to do as I rarely sell anything.
