to walk into your shop with a mint condition S&W Model 29-3 4" barrel, and I do mean mint condition, only had about 250-300 rounds thru it since new what could I expect to get for it if I want to strictly sell it. I can't walk into our shop, too far away but had no one else to ask.
Colleen does all the buying of the guns that come in

so she would have to see it first. I looked on gunbroker to see where they are selling. I found one that was in good shape about like yours I imagine and it is shown below with a couple of days to go. The 4" model 29s don't sell as quick as the longer barreled 44s. The Blue Book shows the 29-3 at $900 in new condition, unfired, around $700 for one in 95% condition. Gunbroker would be a bit higher than the Blue Book due to all the demand for handguns. But Colleen would have to see it and check it out for looseness etc. Bring it in and have a price in mind you would like to get out of it.
Thank you, that is

as dealers gotta eat, too, and cannot do that without turning a profit.
there is a lot of difference in the 8" model and the 4" M29

The 8" always goes for more as handgun hunters want that one. Here is the 4" model with a couple of days left, still under $900.
