Hi all. What would be a reasonable (for both parties) sale price for my DW 715 VH (details below)? I know that they don't have a high resale value but it's been a while since I bought it and I'm looking for a ballpark figure; just to have an idea of what I should be looking for.
Thanks in advance for any info,
S.
Dan Wesson .357 Magnum model 15VH, blued. Monson made.
3 barrels and assemblies (2", 4" and 6"), barrel tool. Original DW gauge and 2 extra sights. In a gun case but it's is NOT the original DW case. Only one grip (the grooved "combat" type).
Overall excellent (near-new) condition and blueing. This gun has not been fired much (and not by me) but I'm not the first owner so I can't give a precise rounds number. The only outright sign of wear is the cylinder ring. Bought circa 2001 and stored since. I think that this came from a pistol pack from which the belt buckle, case and other grip(s) were lost along the way.

Welcome to the DWF !!! You really don't want to sell it--you'll regret it later on...
Let's see, who could possibly know the values of 15-2's around here

Is this a 15-2, or a stainless 715?
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.

Hi all. Thanks for the welcomes and for the replies. I have a series of pics but I'm trying to figure out how to upload them.
Steve CT, it is a blued gun.
Shootist 357. It look like prices have remained somewhat stable, give or take $100.
As far as regretting selling it, I know it. In fact I waited until I sold all the others 🙂 But I'm moving overseas in a few months and I have no choice.
I'll look further into the pics upload and follow up...

OK, here we go:

I hope that this link will work, it's my first time on Photobucket.
All the pics save one were taken without a flash, and that's why the gun looks stainless steel. These pics give a good idea of the quality of the blueing. The one pic taken with a flash is more accurate color-wise. Photograph is not my forte, as you can tell 🙂

Your pak case is not the DW one that is sought after. Gun and BA's look good.
I'd say on a bad auction day $450-$500 , on a good day $650-$700 and
if the planet's are in alignment that day and you get two bidders throwing
 like a vegas slot machine $850 to who knows how much.

Hi. Thanks for the info. So from this pricing and the one from Shootist357, it looks like around $500-550 would be at the low end and this makes it a bit higher than I thought.
My plan is to put it on GunBroker: I sold another revolver there with good success last year.

For whatever it's worth, the first 4 digits of the serial number ar 3745. I was told that the paperwork containing the manufacturing dates/serial #'s were lost in one of the occasions when the company went under.

Here is a link to our serial number list which should help you date your revolver.
