I was in my local pawn shop today and came across a Dan Wesson pistol pack with everything except the belt buckle. It is a .357 with 8,6,4,2 1/2" barrels with the wrench , gauges and patch . Looks like it had the Zebra wood grip . The whole set up was in pretty good shape. What would be a good price ?
Also he had another Dan Wesson .357 with 8 " barrel with factory grip in good shape . What would be a good price on this also ?

A good price would probable be less than he is asking. Just one grip? Keys to the case? Type of shrouds? Geographical location? And, pretty good condition is subjective. My estimate; 1100 to 1900. Can you post pictures?

$1100 is a fair starting point for the pac, IMO. $650 is fair on the 8". Kind of difficult to help out without pics...
Technically, the glass is always full; half liquid, half air....

As Ole Dog and rwsem said, it depends on your area, actual condition, shroud style, etc.
$1100-$1300 for the pac sounds about right to me, not being able to see it. I do believe it should have come with two grips (or at least a blank to make your own).
You didn't say if the 8" has the barrel tool and/or gap tool. I personally stay under $500 for just the revolver.
It would have also been helpful to know what they were asking for them. I may be wrong but I believe that most pawn shops more or less double the price. If you walk in with cash and offer a bit less you might get a pretty good deal.
I hope they are still there for you next week.

The 8" does not come with anything. Just the pistol. As far as price he said he WAS asking $1400 for the pac and $700 for the 8" pistol , but they have been there a while and he would definitely entertain offers.

This entire Topic is not "For Sale or Trade"
Moving to General Discussion
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Are these prices OTD? (out the door) or do you have to add tax and transfer? I would hope it is OTD.
I don't know your budget either. Are you interested in both of them or just one or the other?
Being I have not seen them nor do I know what shrouds they have, the condition of the pac case etc. this would be my suggestion as an OTD price. It is a pawn shop and as I said, they probably paid out about half of what they are asking. This also includes being in really good condition. If you divide the asking prices by two it is $1050. If you are interested in both I'd offer $1600 cash for them. I would have the cash on me. I figure $1150/1200 for the pac and $400/450 for the 8" (as it has no tools etc. and that is something you mention during the process). I would not break it down like that to them, I'd just offer the $1600 for both OTD.
If you are only interested in one or the other you may have to go a bit higher but I wouldn't.
You may be able to start at $1500 for both (or even less) depending on how long they have been sitting on them but it may turn into a fiasco, then again, you might get a really good bargain??? I would pay $1600 for them if everything were really nice/exceptional. It seems to be a fair offer for both sides.
Please remember this is MY opinion. Your opinion (and that of others) may vary.
FYI, I recently picked these two up at a pawn shop for $800 OTD. I thought it was a good deal.
