Saw a DW 22lr revolver in a pawn shop. Finish is rubbed off the bottom of the barrel shroud. Otherwise finish is okay. It has a little cylinder play, not too bad. Barrel has good rifling. The guy asked $350 OTD. I think it's a bit high. What do you think?

Azmark,

I make this same comment frequently on this forum and to others interested in buying anything. It is worth exactly what you are willing to pay for it.

I have overpaid for certain things in my collecting endeavors (guns are but one of my hobbies), but the items were things I needed to complete a build or set, or just things I wanted.

If you want or "need" this or any other toy, pay what you think you can live with. It's all good; it's all fun; and, it's only money.

Enjoy

I agree with these guys. I have also overpaid on a few of my DW's, but I don't care, they are mine now & I can fondle them whenever I want. laugh

As far as a value of the gun you're describing, it sounds to me like a decent deal. DW 22's usually go for a bit more than a 15-2 for example, merely because there don't seem to be as many made. That raises the value merely by the rule of supply & demand. 22's are is good demand these days.

Let us know how you make out... goodluck

It's a very nicely priced item in today's marketplace. If you want an accurate, durable, and adaptable .22 lr, in my opinion, at $350 OTD a DW 22 is well worth it. Also at $400, maybe also at $450.

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.
