How much for a S&W M66?

[prescott]

What's a fair price for a 4" 66 in very good condition? I saw one today for $300.00. It's a nice gun, but that seems kind of high. What do ya'll think ?

Not high, about right.

Not to bad I just got on off line for $299
Mine is a mod 66 with no dash and a night sight insert in the front sight

Fair. Not a steal, but not a rip either. Buy it if you want to, but you can probably find cheaper if you give it a little time. Check www.gunbroker.com and www.auctionarms.com.

Opinion's vary, but-

$275.00 would be a fair market price for a LNIB S&W model 66.

By the book, $275 way low for LNIB. Tho I have seen a few in that area.

If you buy online, you may be able to find it "cheaper" but then have to pay $25 for shipping and $25 for FFL transfer fee. Dont forget that; on a $300 purchase, that amounts to almost a 20% increase in price.

Thanks for the replies!

Last one I purchased was $225 for a 2.5"(former prosecutor's gun, carried but hardly shot).

A nice S&W M66 is priceless and a joy! Any reasonable price is a bargain. Seriously, in Texas, the $300 fee seems pretty good. The gun show dealers here think their wares are made of gold... or platinum!

Ok...that said...

The Blue Book indicates a Model 66 in 98% with a 4" barrel to have an average retail of $312, so it would seem that the price being asked is fair. Whether it is to the "good" side or "bad" side of fair depends on what these guns go for in your area.
