For a 686, the price is of course outrageous. This is no competition gun.

I agree with both of you without any doubt . But the Million dollar question is that , Will this gun remain unsold? I don't think so. If we do not buy it at this price someone else will and that also with a big smile on his face. How many people in India do get a chance to buy a Brand NEW Beretta U/O. The irony is that we are living in India. The Purchase might be paying much more than what the weapon is actually worth of , but so does everybody who buys a IOF Revolver/Pistol. Are they worth $2000? No not at all. But this is how it happens in india. A 25 years old Smith whose actual worth is $400 elsewhere, sells for $11000 in India. What I feel is that if the purchaser can afford then he should fulfill his dream.
Rest I know some of my fellow friends might feel a bit awkward with my view, but it is because of the hurdles that the govt of India have put in the path of gun lovers like us.We are forced to spend fortune to live our dreams

Ok we have arranged a meeting with the seller for personal inspection of the weapon to know the credentials of the weapon in question . And that weather it is worth the pain.
......go for it 
...lest that you regret later
