I went to a LGS once with a gun to trade in to offset the cost of a new one of the same model in Stainless. I removed my snap caps from the one I brought and they inspected my gun. They gave me an offer that was close to what I expected they would but still low.
The gun they claimed was "new" had all sorts of surface dings, some scratches and the cylinders were cruddy but when I asked them if it was new they said, "Yes" twice. I started to put my snap caps from MY gun into theirs and asked if I could drop the hammer to get a feel for the trigger. They said no. I said goodbye.
