"I guess I got a bargain, cuz my 5" Smith & Wesson
629 "Classic" cost me $509.95 + 8% sales tax; but
that was back in July of 2000."

Ala Dan - I bought mine in Nov. 2000 - a 6.5" Classic - for $520 +5% tax. The prices I saw at the last major show I attended (Jan 03)still had them priced well below $600.
Unless the prices have increased significantly recently and the guns I saw were bought prior to the price increase and priced accordingly.
