Answer 1

These generally go for anywhere between $200 to $300 on the used gun market. Not a bad gun, comparable to the S&W 686, which sells (used) for $100 to $150 more.

Taurus 689

Answer 3

As a Gunshop Owner and Appraiser I can tell you the latest market value of your gun. These figures come from a source that is considered the "Bible" of the gun industry and is updated annually. It puts your gun value (Listed below based on % condition):

For a 4" or 6" barrel/Stainless Steel/Ventilated Rib/ 6 shot Revolver/Adjustable Sights. Manufactured until discontinued in 1998, by Taurus International Inc. Taurus is not known for high resale values in any model unless unfired in the original box.

90% Condition $125.00
95% Condition $145.00
100% Condition New/Unfired/Mint/NIB $265

Answer 4

For a "here and now" real time price estimate go to GUNSAMERICA and plug in the name and model number and it will show you what the ones for sale are priced at. I bought a 6" model 689 for 250 frogskins just last week; it is just like the S&W model in finish and detail. It came with a nice leather holster, too. He wanted 300 but a handful of green weakened his resolve. The Bluebook is a guideline but is dated due to its once a year publication; go with the GUNSAMERICA site for real time pricing.

Answer 5

Blued in that condition, you're looking at $175-200 on the current auctions. Stainless, add $25 to that. That's real world, not book.

If you're thinking about buying it, offer $175. If he doesn't like that, go to gunbroker.com.

Answer 6

I can only tell you what I would pay for it, which would be $250. The "gun value books" are only a guide, and not very reliable.
