Not familar with prices of hand guns and trying to sell this for a friend of mine. It is in mint condition. What would be a fair price?

An image or four detailing any faults; nicks, pitting, rust, scratches, general finish wear and stock (grips) condition.

And this is the way you inquire about the price of a firearm? During your tenure with LAPD as a DETECTIVE, didn't you run across more than one S&W-made handgun in .357 Magnum? Didn't you see them in more than one finish--blue or stainless or even alloy framed? How many barrel lengths did you encounter? Range of condition--as new in box to falling apart and rusted shut? Were they all the same model and made in the same year?
Please, give the "experts" a little help here, Detective. How many cases did you solve with NO INFORMATION on which to proceed?
last may i got $525 out of a model 686 S&W 4inch barrel stainles w/uncle mikes holster, pachmyer grips. sounds like yours is in lots better shape than the one i had.
Sound good?

I think $100 sounds fair, and I will write you a check.
Sound good?

I'll see your hunnert and raise you a dozen. $112 by USPS Money Order will be on the way tomorrow. I'm sure it's a model 19, nickle-plated, snubby, UNFIRED. It's bound to be a prize--LAPD Dick says "mint condition." How could one go wrong?

Don't remind me, I had the chance to pick up a 99% nickel 19 not too long ago. . .and didn't.
(Went for the cheaper blued version instead cause I actually wanted to shoot the thing. . .stupid me).
