Can anyone give me a rough idea what a 1980-81 Monson MA Dan Wesson 15-2 with a 6" barrel no case and no accessories, and only the one barrel and shroud is worth?
Thank You.

Values vary a good bit by geography. Your best bet is to follow an auction site like gunbroker.com.
That said, something like what you described would go for less than $325 around here.
Soap Box, Ballot Box, Ammo Box
in that order.
4 Monson Model 15's
1 Palmer FB 15
1 Rossi 357 Model 92 (lever)
1 CZ 75B

The gun's condition will also affect the overall value. I agree though, probably $300 ~ 400 depending on the condition.

DO NOT I repeat DO NOT let the low resale put you off. The one and Only reason I truly believe Dan Wessons fetch so little is because people just do not know a good thing when they see one. When asked what brings such a high price for snake guns colt fan boy's only reply I've ever seen is " well , its a colt man "
The Dan is imho the most superior revolver made, Interchangeable front sights , foward cylinder controls , Has less parts internally than most other firearms < less parts = less to go wrong > interchangable barrel / shroud <---- who else even offers that? Add that to the fact you just dont see them everyday and That Daniel Wessons aim was to built the best most innovative revolver the shooting world had ever seen ?
And well I think you have one of the best if not the best revolver in modern history. Again this is just my opinion , I dont mean to offend any Colt fans here

I'm looking at buying the Dan Wesson 15-2 and they are asking $375.00. I just wanted to see if this was a average price, many other posts show them selling for much less, but I can't find them for that.

Prices can vary depending where you live. GB prices can be an indicator, just remember to add the $50 or more you'll pay to ship it and transfer.
My opinion, if the pistol is in very good to excellent condition, and local to you, $375 is a fair price, I would try to get them a little lower if it doesn't have the barrel tool or anything to go with. It is a great benefit to buy local where you can actually hold and examine it before committing, unlike buying online.
Of course if you hold it you will want it! And then we will want to see

Agree with CF - condition always determines price. That being said, if you guys are finding mint cond. 15's in the $350 range, send 'em my way. I'll buy every one of them. I haven't seen a nice one go for under $400 in a long time. That of course excludes the mint 715 I picked off recently @399 but that was an uncommon occurrence.

375.00 is a fair price to pay if its in very good condition part of the problem is Blue Book gives no value to Dan Wesson's. Gunbroker is your best way to judge pricing and values it gives you a real world look at what these are selling for.

I agree with Dan Fan.But as the barrel gets longer price will go up and is VH it will go up more such as 10,12 or 15 inch VH.

That gun is now $399 in my area, but they do sit for a while on the dealer's shelf waiting for a buyer.
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.
