Does anyone have an idea what a Colt Detective Special .38 Spl., Chrome, rubber grips, no box and in almost new condition should be priced? I have one located, but not sure if it is worth the price asked. Thanks in advance.
Well, prices on Detective Specials vary a lot now, and generally are much higher here than they were a couple of years ago. I would expect a gun like that to be priced in the local shops areound here for $350 or so, but i would not pay that much for it.
That said, I would not pay more than $275 or so for it. BUT, buying a gun is not alway a rational thing. God knows i have spent more for a few revolvers than i should have because i HAD to have it RIGHT then!
Detective Specials are cool guns, and they are no longer made, so if you like it and you can afford it, buy it and enjoy it.
