Price on 1066?

[rcd567]

What's a good price for an excellent condition Smith & Wesson 1066? They seem harder to find than dinosaur eggs and are commanding premium prices compared to the 1076.

Thoughts? Good price? As always, thanks for your time.

$650 would be fair.
Depends on buyer.

Gimme $350 and I'll take one off your hands.lol

Prices are edging upward...$600 up to about $800 depending on the orginal box, tools paperwork, condition and number of magazines with the purchase. $650 to $700 usually normal.

If you are looking the buy, you need to understand the product and how badly you want it!

If you are selling, the perspective buyer is looking at what is original to the gun and or extras.

Sorry, looking to buy. I've spotted a couple from 700+ to 1200:wow:.

Obviously I won't pay the $1200, and would love to get one for around $650. It seems the 1076 and 1006 are going from 500 - 700 on gunbroker.com

Last spring I passed on a minty one. It looked to be unfired or test-fired only. Virtually no trace of slide-mark action on the barrel hood or rails. It came with original box, papers and three mags. Two had the white followers, one the 1st Gen yellow follower.

Anyway, I really wanted it, but had to walk when the seller wouldn't budge off $700. I'd have jumped on it for $550-$500, or less ...

Don't know if that helps you gauge what a reasonable "street price" is for the 1066 you're looking at, but as someone else mentioned, the 10XX-series guns are getting harder to find in excellent-or-better condition.

Depends on how bad you want it ... Often it isn't an easy decision if the seller won't work with you on the asking price ...

:cool:

There's no deciding value except between buyer and seller. It doesn't matter what you pay for it so long as you and the seller are happy. If it's $100 or $1000, it's up to you two to compromise, obviously.

Just kidding of course about my earlier comment. I know you said you were trying to steer clear from the 1076. That's good thinking, as experience tells me that gun can be a headache. Is it as specific as it seems, or are you looking for a DA 10mm? At first you seemed very specific about the 1066, then it seemed there are a couple other S&W 10s you're looking at. Just curious if you'd contemplated a different make that doesn't demand such a high used market price? I feel the pain, though. I've wanted another Kahr, a T9 for a loooong time now, but $'s kept me from getting one. Recently, I've contemplated a 5946 because used, they're so much cheaper and still a DAO that can be sweetened up real nice, internally. Just wondering if it may work for you in reverse if you're looking for a DA 10, not a S&W 1066.

No, I'm kind of looking for a specific gun. A S&W 1066. The last several years of my career I carried a 4567. It's a 45 caliber, blued slide, same configuration as the 1066. I had to give that one back when I retired. I'd hate to think the thousands of rounds of training I had with that gun.

I've got three different 45's now, none are the 4567. Kind of been swinging towards the 10mm, hence the 1066. Just for grins and giggles.:wavey:

Edit to say I've got a Glock 20sf and really like it. Just gotta have something to want I guess.

I paid a bit more for a 1066 than most...living in Cali, it's hard to get certain firearms from out of state, so folks that own them here can ask a bit more than "fair" market. Whining aside, it was worth it. I love that pistol.
