Hi Edward. I also visit that board and have a couple of 38's tucked away. I think there's one very interesting piece of advice often given on that board though.
New enthusiasts looking for a representative shooter class gun are often directed to FGS who seem, somehow, to have a supply of refinished guns.
I, myself, bought one and was happy with the deal.
BUT, the FGS guns are dipped but matching with a very discreet import mark. They sell from $450 upwards depending on rarity. So on one hand the advice is that an unrefinshed shooter grade is worth $350 but on the other, paying $450 for a refinshed equivalent is a good deal !! (I believe that the FGS guns are a good deal from what I've seen locally). Something is worth exactly what the buyer will offer and the seller accept, nothing more, nothing less [img]wink.gif[/img]
