A failed attempt to have a rational discussion of gun values

[Bucket99]

Am I new here? Can you read? In case you haven't checked, common sense is not that common on this site. If it were, we would not have a "price thread" every day and a half. Thanks for thinking I am new to this site. Common sense, yeah, you have it.

Instead of commenting on price in any way, shape, form, or fashion, why don't we look at high priced items and say, "nope", then move on?

Or even more trail blazing, why don't we shoot them a PM offering them what we believe to be a more fair price?

Just a few seconds after the butthurt set in, methinks.

Thanks for your concern fellas...the old hiny ain't too sore this beautiful morning!

I changed the title a few hours after I realized some folks thought the thread really was an OFFICAL ODT thread, lol.

Didn't want Steve and the mods inbox to fill up over my facetious attempt to rattle some retail pricer's cages with some rational discussion of used gun values.

I should have known better...but no harm no foul.

But at least I played, unlike you. Fail!

So is this a thread to ask what my gun is actually worth?





How bout this one.....S&W 27-1 3.5" NICKEL. Oh, its the only 27-1 in nickel that is KNOWN in the collector world....


What's it worth, ODT?

You are a brave man...have you tried that "PM offering a more fair price thing" yet?

Seriously, that is a very logical, reasonable idea Mr Spock. And I welcome such offers of advice on any of my ads....as long as it is offered in a respectful manner and comes with some experience/evidence to back up the more "fair" price.

Next time, use the sarcasm font in your original post.

JWC and Leatherhead are a couple of the experts I was talking about in my original post.
I would love to have their opinions on every Smith revolver model's values...in a nice little chart with condition %'s.
It would be great...but I would probably still screw up and pay too much or sell too low because I missed something that raised/lowered value to Smith collectors. But a rough guide is better than nothing.

On further reflection, let's forget this thread. JWC and Leatherhead- you guys can just pm me
all your secrets about Smith's.

Yeah those two guys are to Smith's like @SafeCracka is to safes... sometimes you gotta get the "Pro from Dover" great line from M*A*S*H

Exactly, we all can't be experts on everything. But it's nice to know who to call.
