I have a 605 3inch. 95% unfired. Any estimate of value ?

Stainless/blued? Bobbed or unbobbed hammer? Ported or unported? Box & ppwk? Rubber or wood grips?

Valid questions above....

I would not be far off by saying 250-275. Current price for new at a retail store is about 320 + tax and going up up up.

ETA: sure its not a 2" ?

A percentage of use may not very meaningful to a potential buyer unless he knows and has trust in the actual owner/seller's description. FWIW, There can be obvious signs of wear (other than holster). The NRA 'rating' for condition seems to help describe a revolver. The NRA rating of 'excellent' used would apply to many revolvers that have seen minimal use and been kept clean and oiled?

A local shop just sold a SS 605 (unported and looking stock) for about 250 after sales tax. I don't know if the case, or any paperwork was included. From what I remember, it had few signs of any use-other than the rear of the cylinder where the heat and powder left some residue, etc.

Thanks guys. This is a 3" blued with rubber grips, unbobed hammer, fixed sights, ppwk, no box. Will list FS as soon as I have picks.

Just for an apples to oranges reference, I bought my 605 2" blue for $279 new, from the LGS, about 6 months ago. They run that sale, regularly, here in Mid-Ohio.
