I paid exactly the same price for a pristine 4" 686 no-dash; and I got it from Jerek right before he got sick, so I know the price was better-than-fair.I paid over $650 for a pristine 586 no lock and felt like I got a great deal. These guns aren't hot garbage they're Americana that you can enjoy. Compared to a new one ain't even in the same ballpark. Better blueing, better trigger and no stupid Hillary hole to remind me of the bad times.
Got a pristine 64 no dash with the 4" pencil barrel as well. Its probably the the most accurate handgun I own. Definitely between that and the 22A with a RDSI paid exactly the same price for a pristine 4" 686 no-dash; and I got it from Jerek right before he got sick, so I know the price was better-than-fair.
He had a 63 and a 64 from the same collection. Still kick myself for not buying all three.

In truth, I prefer stainless steelstill seeing the stainless guns dropping a little in price, but the blued guns, especially the older ones are definitely going up. I couldn't bring myself to ask to hold the 4 inch .41 mag smith in teh show case at a local shop. I knew if I held it, I'd have to have it. I didn't have $1200
This is nice. The 629 is on my list of Fantasy Guns. I want the 686 first.I've been paying more attention to the Smiths for sale since reading this thread. Saw a 629 for $725, considering they were selling for over $1000 not long ago, that's not bad. Then this morning some one posted a Model 60, no dash for $700. It was nice and clean, just don't see $700 in a 38 snubbie that they made a ton of. I guess teh market will bear, what the market will bear
