Well like I posted earlier a lot depends on where you are at. The prices on .38 Spl revolvers have gone up (like they have on everything - not just guns) since 2004, but they are still lower than the magnums and semi-autos and definitely lower than the new guns.
Also I can't speak for where you live but here in my area they are fairly common and they just don't sell as well.
It's all relative.
All other prices have been trending upwards. Even those aforementioned .38spl revolvers have gone way up... I see people saying K frames are available for $200, and it seems like those folks are stuck in 2004. I'm not seeing them for much less than $350-400 when available. Seems word has gotten out that those are good guns to get.
