Having fallen in love with my 686 no dash, I decided to get another Smith as my .44 mag. What is a good price for a very good condition 629-2 with 8 3/8" barrel, no box/papers? There was a 629-1 w/box and papers for sale on AR15.com until a few days ago; seller wanted just under $700 shipped and I may have low-balled a bit at $600 shipped, since it is now sold. Ending up getting this -2 on GunBroker instead, but I'd like to know if I overpaid or if the deal was just right.

 

My opinion only - $700 - $725 is a fair price for a shooter in very good to excellent condition. Look around and $650 to $675 would be a possibility. Good luck.

 

Adios,

if you want the gun, love the gun, can afford the gun, and buy the gun at whatever price then the deal is just right.

Yes, that's very true... but should I decide that I hate it after getting it and shooting it, I don't want to be out too much coin when I resell it I think I did okay though; price ends up at $599 OTD.

 

And thanks, Bob, for your always helpful input

Congrats. You did real well.

Finally got my next round of permits and took my 629-2 home on Friday. Lock up is excellent and better mechanically than my 686, and finish is pretty nice too. Gonna shoot it today!

Very nice..

Real nice. Good luck with it.

Very nice wheel gun!
