Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns S&W value question

I was at a gun show yesterday and trying ti digest something
Is this possible.....

I walked by a guy that has a beautiful 657 (no dash) possibly unfired new in box with all the stuff I think he was aking 1100.00

Later I walked by and there was another old fart and they were talking and the guy with the 657 was shaking his head no. I noticed that the guy had a rope around him neck and a 3rd gen S&W hanging. I have collected them for quite a while and they always have my attention. I waited my turn and walked up to the guy and asked him what madel he had and he said a 1006 and of course that caught my attention and I asked what it was worth and he said well about 1200.00 but he would take 1000.00 probably
I think I rolled my eyes out loud

But here is where it was interesting he was trying to get 2 for one from the 657 guy but the 657 guy was willing to trade the 657 even up for a no boxed 1006 Is that even possible?????
I understand if the guy really wanted the 1006 of course it is
but in the real world is a 1006 worth what a prestine 657 is worth?

If it is dont tell Marlin I got my 1006 from him years ago and he will be lookig for interest HAHA

But I have to admitt there is a part of me that would do that in a heart beat if it was a 57 NO QUESTION

But I have a soft spot for a 57 it was the first center fire hand gun I bought at about the age of 21 or 22 I still have it and cherish it
