WTB: Smith & Wesson model 617

[barbarossa]

Hi, I'm looking to buy a S&W 617 .22 revolver. Anybody have one for sale?

Thanks, barbarossa.

I believe Jims had a used one in the cabinet.

I watched an old man walk in Jim's the other day with an S&W box in his hand, he wandered around the store and no one helped him so he headed for the door.

I asked him if he was looking to sell something, and he said he did.

We walked to the back of my truck and he opened the box and pulled out a 6" Stainless
617 with wood grips that looked like it was made yesterday. I asked him how much?

$300. I almost fell out. Unfortunately, this day I did not have $300 to buy it, but I got his number. After making frantic phone calls, I managed to round up the money. It was about 20 mins after he left Jim's when I got him on the phone and he told me he had called a friend of his and he bought it sight unseen for $300. I almost cried.

That's when it's good to have an ATM card handy.

Oh I had the ATM card, unfortunately there wasn't enough in the bank to back it up!

I know you have my number. From now on, consider me the Morris Bart of *deals we don't want to miss*. "One call, that's all!" Next time, don't let the guy out of your sight.

Yessir.

$300 was a steal on a 617

Saw that. I want a 10 shot, and I didn't like the price of the one at Jim's.

How much are you looking to spend?

 

[barbarossa]

How much are you looking to spend?

I guess that depends on the gun... Fair market value, hopefully a few bucks less than I can pick one up from Gunbroker for.

 

[barbarossa]

Alright, one more try. Still looking.
