Eric,
This thread demonstrates one of the problems in pricing firearms, especially used ones, across a country as large as ours.
My initial reply was based upon two opposing situations. The first is that I am in Massachusetts, close to Springfield, therefore in S&W's backyard, where one could reasonably expect to see a lot of used S&W revolvers, which tends to drive the price down.
The second situation is that I am in Massachusetts, where the AG has put into effect stringent "consumer protection laws" (read harsh gun control laws) which restrict the kinds of firearms which can be sold. This tends to drive the price of used, pre-law firearms up, since they are exempt.
The dealer also plays a large part in the process. Some dealers have much higher prices than another for whatever reason. It could be volume, greed, or whatever.
I am curious where you are located, and how this dealer's prices generally compare with others in your area.
