I was looking for a set of plain S&W N-frame grips for a non-firearm project, and so I checked eBay.
There's lots of those kinds of grips, but some are selling for over $150! Have they suddenly become collectible somehow? S&W made a hojillion of them for years- it's not like they're rare. And they came on every gun S&W made, so I have a hard time seeing them as being a desirable, specialty model.
So what's the deal? Why are those old grips suddenly worth in some cases over $200? And a "coke bottle" set- whatever that means- worth damn near $600?
