What is it worth?
« on: February 04, 2009, 05:30:15 AM »
I am looking to by a Ruger 50th Anniversary Flat top Blackhawk in .357. A friend of mine bought it new, and is looking to get rid of it to pick up a 1911. It is blued, in about 95%, has the 4 5/8" barrel, and has only had about 300 factory rounds through it, nothing hot. What should I offer him for it? I was thinking in the ballpark of $350. Is it worth that or should I offer him more than that. Thanks in advance.

I wouldn't pay more than that.

I think that is a reasonable offer for that model.   He might be able to get a little more than that from a private sale and a gun dealer of coarse would offer him considerably less.

LNIB for 350 bucks would be a pretty good deal....
