I traded a LNIB Single Six .22/.22Mag for an 8 3/8" S&W M27, in the presentation box once. The guy wanted the .22 for his wife to plink with.
When I worked in a gunshop, I got another 27 in 5" for about $250, and a Mossberg 500 for $30, which I gave to a friend.

You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
