I might be buying my first .357, a DW 715 3" fixed barrel.  In the opinion of forum members, can you tell me what a fair price for one would be. 

Thanks

Mike

I sold a 3" fb model 715 about 6 months ago, for $400. In very nice condition. I would say it was a fair price. I'd say $350 to not more than $450 as long as it is in very good condition. But that is just my opinion.

I agree with Lonwolf's price estimate. Bring that baby home & show us somecool-pics

As one who has lately invested heavily in DW I have to disagree. I realize GB is a top-dollar market but still I have not seen a SS DW sell for less than $600 and many go over 8. I have been watching since about the first of this year and I don't think I have ever seen a FB. I know that doesn't make them valuable but doesn't it make them fairly rare. I am by no means an expert and I'm new to the DW revolver world but am just offering my observations. PM me if you have any more SS DW's for $400. I would certainly be interested in looking

Well the lowest he will go on the price is 450 and I am ok with that unless the gun is in worse shape than the pictures show.  He had been responding to my questions and I told him I want it yesterday, so let's set up a meet, and have not heard back since yesterday afternoon. My hopes are high so hopefully hasn't changed his mind.

$450 is realistic if the condition is vgood, and a face to face buy is a plus as you get to check it out and also avoid shipping fees if you bought off Gunbroker etc.

   Here are a couple that sold on GB lately, but both did have some cosmetic wear-

PS we need pics when you get it!
