Well, thanks to all of you I saved a lot of money. I went back to the dealer, asked to see the the 66 and then looked at the price tag. All the while I can see the salesman's eyes gleaming.
I did my best Oscar performance about how the price was too high, giving reasons why, and asked if $450 was the best they could do. He disappears to a computer at the front of the store and looks it up on the computer. A few minutes pass and I pretend to look at other guns.....
He comes back and says $409 plus tax is the best they can do. I say "You're kidding right?," and being to point out that the 66 has been shot some, the bore is very good but it IS a used gun. And, it's obviously been carried some....I then say I'd be willing to go $325-350 out the door.
He says wait a minute and disappears again. A few minutes later he comes back and says he can't do better than $399 + tax and won't budge from there.
I'm going to another dealer tomorrow to find a decently priced .357. If you're shopping in Western Charlotte, beware of inflated prices. Can't figure out how they sell anything there.
Thanks to everyone for the revolver education.
