Just coinstar'd this bucket of change I've been saving for 4 yrs...

Ryu825 · March 30, 2013, 01:22 PM

And found out my oatmeal bucket was worth over $600!!!

So I took it to my lgs to turn it into a .357 and was debating between a blued ruger gp100 and a nickel finish s&w 686 both 4". They only had one 686 6" and not the mirror finish I woulda payed the extra $$ for so gp100 it was. Looked for the 4" then I saw this Wiley clapp I'm about to figure out how to post pics for the second I bring it home. To be honest I didn't know this version of the gun even existed but after seeing and holding it I had to have it even tho it was for s&w $$ and after some research it was apparently a great buy

. This delay thing is killing me though..

Congratulations !

Did that myself a couple years back, but took it to the bank instead, they have an automated coin counter and took the bags of coins and a deposit slip, called me later that day with the amount of my deposit : $1050 or so. No Coinstar fees for me.

Not bad for pocket change, paid for nice FN49 in 8mm with it. Last two years, about $0.75 a day, should be enough for a nice .44 Special in there pretty soon.

686s are stainless and not nickle. They come from the factory with a satin finish but can be polished to almost look like nickle. I'm surprised you found a gun shop that had two .357s in stock. Did you get the blued or the stainless?

savit260 · March 30, 2013, 04:46 PM

They did make the 586 in nickel. Same gun as the 686 only in carbon steel instead of stainless. Came in blue or nickel.

Can't wait to go shooting

Ryu825 · March 31, 2013, 02:20 AM

Really? This place had like 15 of them. I'm starting to see gunshops around here slowly come back to life

LockedBreech · March 31, 2013, 03:07 AM

That's a really handsome Ruger, and you got it for pocket change. Wow, I gotta start saving coins.

Ryu825 · March 31, 2013, 03:41 AM

Thank you and yes, paid for by pocket change

I love my dimes and nickels

Super Sneaky Steve · March 31, 2013, 11:19 AM

Beautiful gun! But just think, if you didn't use coinstar you could have had some extra money for a few boxes of ammo.

Ryu825 · March 31, 2013, 11:42 AM

Thank you and yea I wasn't thinking clearly about it when I did it. My friend coinstar'd 87$ the other day and I just impulsively followed

Venom1956 · March 31, 2013, 04:48 PM

I just go to the bank they don't charge me to count change?

hulley · April 1, 2013, 11:46 AM

I've bought ALOT of stuff from Bullseye over the years. They have continued to have very fair prices and I almost bought the GP100 last week! However I chose not to because I already have a 2.25" SP101 and I was wanting to add a longer barrel .357 like the Blackhawk or 4" GP100. That new matt black model looks sweet!
