Yes, people like cardboard boxes and cheap screwdrivers with aluminum handle, therefore, LNIB will bring about 25% to 30% more. Some are worth extra because they came in nice wood presentation boxes. Most do not want true NIB S&W revolvers because they have MIM parts, most have locks and some have two piece barrels. I agree with this sentiment and would buy new Colt .38 or .357 instead. Actually I would rather have original revolver which is Colt.

If gun was packaged in this at the factory and the gun is in top shape the price will be at least $1200....
