I watched an early 1950s 257 in about 95% condition sell at the Kingman gunshow last month for $900. It then appeared on the buyer's Gunbroker listing the following Monday and sold for over $2,000 (I didn't see the winning bid, but it was over $2k with a day left on auction). This buyer/GB seller is notorious for this. I guess that's how he makes his living.
Did the guy sell the 357 under duress or was the price agreed upon? I'm guessing the price was agreed upon so what's the problem? Personally if I could have got it for $900 I would have held on to it for a couple years and sell it for an even bigger profit.
