Go to a gun store and ask what the blue book value is.

Get on gunbroker.com and check for completed sales of pistols like yours. That will give you a pretty good idea of its value.
We will be much better off when we learn to deal with things as they really are, instead of how we wish them to be!
Just remember if going on line look up what the guns acually sell for not what they are asking for them. Ex: Gunbroker might have 20 engraved colt pythons and they may all be asking $4000, but has any of them acually sold and if so for what price. What people are asking means very little it's all about what people are acually paying.

Hold old, what condition, and how used is it ... will play into price quite a bit.

100%= $450.00 98%= $375.00 95%= $300.00 90%= $250.00 80%= $195.00 70%= $165.00 60%= $140.00
Add approx. 30% for the approx. 150 model 669 "interim" pistols were mfg. in 1988 only
Hope that helps!

Impossible is not a word. It's just a reason for someone not to try!
Exact condition is highly important when determining firearm values.
Sellers tend to upgrade the actual condition & buyers tend to downgrade condition.
That's human nature I guess.
Blue book will often undervalue a gun like this one. Since it was only manufactured for 3 years, there are not that many of them available for sale. So Supply/Demand kicks in to increase the price.
In addition, many people consider this older S&W's to be "classics", and even prefer them over more modern designs.
So the simple fact is that if someone really wants to specifically buy a S&W 669, there are not that many around to choose from. And if that is the gun that the buyer really wants, they are probably going to have pay 100% condition Blue book for a gun that is certainly not in pristine condition.
I would say that you should keep the gun, unless you don't really care for it, or are absolutely dead broke and desperate for cash.
