I saw a Smith 638-2 yesterday. It seemed in pretty good shape except for the grip screw which was rusted. It also needed a cleaning. Don't you think the gunshop would have cleaned it? But overall, it seemed pretty tight. The shop wanted $360 for it. I thought it was high, but I figured I would check here first. I have always wanted a 638 and I can't seem to get this one out of my mind.
