I've done a cursory search here without much luck. There's a local estate gun auction next weekend, and hidden in the 6 inches of small print (!) is a "Dan Wesson Supermag 357 max revolver."
What's it worth?

I am no expert on SuperMag pricing, I think anything up to $600 would be a good deal. A year ago my son lucked into one at a lower price than this, but it included lot's of extra stuff, most especially a bunch of brass, barrels, grips, etc.
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.

I'll probably go and try to steal it. It's the only Dan among a plethora of Smiths, Berettas, Colts, Desert Eagles, Charters, Rugers, you name it..

It went for $650. Dirty in box, but apparently not fired much. Timing was great, locked up tight. A little Barney going on, and *maybe* some gas cutting. It just might have been powder/lead.. at any rate, I didn't buy it. There were also four packages of new Remington brass that sold separately for $60 IIRC.
I did manage to buy a new RCBS scale and several thousand primers.. cheap.

I probably would have bit on that if there was no buyers premium. A great many 357 supermags have barney. Must have been something going on with the first supermag molds or alloys. To be able to get the brass without a search would have convinced me.

Maybe it'll be one of those I tell my grandkids about that I should have bought. I didn't see the brass until the auction was almost over. It was a circus. Sell a gun, sell whatever the highest bidder wants on that table over there. Sell another gun, repeat until all the guns are gone and tables are empty. The brass was on the last table under some rifle stuff. It's the first time that auctioneer had sold guns, and there were a *lot* of them. It looked like an explosion in a pretty good sized gun shop. Not much organization. Kinda fun though..
