There is a gun show in Oshkosh WI this weekend. I met a guy heading to the show, I asked him if he was buying or selling. Never hurts to ask LOL. He said selling. Now I am interested, so I had to ask what he was selling. He listed off a few things, then he hit the jackpot. He is selling a 7445 with an ETG serial number, B-Square scope mount, mixed brass, (Gates and Starline) 100 pc’s of each and 445 dies. He gave me a peak, very nice. He had the box and tools also. I asked what he would like to get for it. He said $1800. Now I am trying real hard to figure out what I could sell to buy this gun before he takes it to the show. Before I get too nuts maybe I should ask what the going price is for this package? I have almost the same package at home but it was purchased +25 years ago from a friend. Is $1800 a good deal? The gun has never been in holster, and has only had 100 rounds shot thru it. I have until tomorrow morning to make my offer. Any suggestions?

The only Dan Wessons that routinely get a premium for a serial number are the ETGs. Today 1800 would be fair for a 7445 but an ETG will go for 2500 to 3000. IMHO. scrape the 1800 together and buy it NOW. Sell something later.

Thank you to everyone. I am on the road for the near future so I will not have a chance to mess with the gun I just purchased for a bit. I am excited because I already load for a 445 and I am a die hard revolver guy. The weather will start to warm up in the next couple months giving me the opportunity to shoot this gun. When I return home I will wipe it down and snap a few pictures for you.
