Hello Forum.
I am thinking about parting with some 15-2 revolvers and wondering what the price range is in these strange time. Most are Monsoon and run from 4 to 8 in. barrels.
I realize a decent quote cannot be given without pictures and details, but I would grade these from very good to good. I will give my idea of grade as I posted pictures.
Thank you for your help.

What are DW prices?
Ever increasing it seems .. especially now with CZ discontinuing production of the Dan Wesson Revolver.

I hear you Stinger. I have way too many "safe" guns and want to keep the few I shoot on a regular basis. I have 6 DWs and 2 High Standards I am going to part with. I will post some pictures and see if there is any interest in them.

I realize that I did not answer your question, but the best I can suggest is to search "completed" listings on Gun Broker for recent examples in similar condition. As everyone says, condition is everything, so if you are getting rid of collectable condition safe queens, you should do okay.

Sadly only one is a "Collectable Condition Safe Queen" with box, tools and paperwork. And it only has the styrofoam box with it, not the paper box it came in. However it is an awesome gun that I have never shot.

List it here first, in Classified. If it doesn't sell, put on GB for slightly less and put the classified link in the "Auctions"

If you use Gunbroker and want top dollar lots of high quality photos are essential. From every angle. Even if they are shooter grade, buyers want to know what they are buying.

Here is what I have recently paid on Gun Broker:
1. DW 44, used, blue, 8" barrel only, barrel tool, very good condition (blueing is nearly flawless), looks very well maintained, styrofoam box and paper box, no papers. I purchased this for range day. $1399 auction win. After receiving it, I am pleased. Looking for more barrels. They don't make them anymore that's how I justified the price.
2. DW 44 1776 / 1976 We the people commemorative edition for $1086. This one I think was a good deal. Hammer has never been cocked. The finish is nearly flawless. It is missing the presentation case, papers, and tools but other than that this is a beauty. Safe queen I will keep tucked away.
3. DW 715 (post CZ acquisition, NY factory, new old stock, unfired) for $2200 with 8", 6" and 4" barrels. Original case, paperwork, accessories all in order. I doubt it will drop in value if unfired, considering there is no new production, it shoud be a collector item over time.
4. DW 744 (NY factory, new old stock, unfired, unique serial number, 8", 6", and 4" barrels included) pristine and I won't fire this one. Original papers, box and all tools included and pristine. I paid $3116 including tax and shipping. I might of overpaid. But maybe not if I don't fire it and sit for years, as this is out of production and I expect to achieve collector status in 10-15 years.
I am thinking long term, all of this will go up.

No doubt they will rise in value. But there are other avenues that have better return for the dollar. Years down the road the younger crowd buying now will get nostalgic for the guns they bought from this era and the revolver crowd will decrease making it harder to find a buyer. I worry about this also for my 1911's and my cars.

RTFM, your number 1 would have sold for $800 - $900 2 years ago. Number 3 would have been about $1800. The 44 pack would have been an equal percentage lower. The Commemorative probable cost over $1500 when new several decades ago. Granted, it would have had a presentation box, etc.
You have a very nice start to your collection.
