What is the approximate value of a Taurus .38 special model 85 ss - EXCELLENT condition - 15 years old?

Answer 1

Check here for the current value.>>> gunbroker.com, auctionarms.com, gunsamerica.com........

Answer 2

Just picked this very gun up for $230 from a pawn shop

I see them going for between $200 and $250 everyday

It just depends on the demand in your area and how long you are willing to wait for the sale

If I were advertising it I would not mention the age, excellent condition is excellent condition and a lifetime guarantee last as long as the revolver does

Taurus has a reputation for spotty craftsmen ship in their older revolvers, Through personal experience I don't believe it is warranted

In this case older is 30+ years ago but to some younger people older is more than five years ago

Why bring extra scrutiny when it really has no relevance on the gun anyway

If asked be honest but don't offer irrelevant info

Answer 3

I bought one exactly like what you are talking about for my wife about seven years ago new for $230 so, I know they are not going to sell for any more than that used.

Answer 4

New they sell at $325, so excellent used would be around $250.
