Price check on a .38 Police Special?

[Johnnybago]

Apparently about 15 years old, excellent condition, barely fired. Either a Colt or a S&W. The seller asked me to offer a price...

 

[jjwelin]

if it's a eps or rcmp S&W model 10, and you don't want to keep it, i'm interested.

 

[dan belisle]

$150-250 depending on condition. Really good examples can fetch $300, and rare versions higher yet. It's not an exact science. - dan

Depends on many factors... what exact model, barrel length & condition? That will dictate it's true value.

 

[Johnnybago]

Thanks. I'll be getting the exact details next week.

 

[woodchopper]

I'm close enought to scoop you on that

Tapered or heavy barrel.

The only way you can scoop me, is if the wife says no! BTW, any good strategies on hiding expenditures, and sneaking more guns into the house? She only agreed to let me get a CZ-858 after I "convinced" her how awesome it was after a few glasses of wine...

That's a slippery slope... mine fully supports my 'habit'... 'course her own hobbies have mine beat in the $$ dept anyway... not to mention the shoes...

Alright, I've got the info now:

SERIAL # 1064427
MAKE: TAURAS, MODEL: T-83
BARREL: 4". TYPE- R
CALIBRE .38 SPECIAL SHOTS- 6.
MADE IN BRAZIL.

Like I said before, apparently about 15 years old. Can anyone please help price check this little cannon for me?

By the way, the wife is cool about it.

Thanks in advance.

I am assuming you have 12.6 classification License? $150

 

[USP]

^$225 maybe. I dunno its a a Taurus, and the hammer has what appears to be flash rusting on it. Maybe even alittle less money.

A 15 year old Taurus isn't even in the same league as a S&W or Colt wheelgun. Plus this one is a prohib. If you have 12(6) and can own it you shouldn't pay anything more than $150 for it, tops.

Personally, I'd give it a pass myself...

I would say it is worth $150 but I don't think I would buy it for $100.
