Okay, a dealer I was in college with has a box full of 3 screw Rugers. The ones Im interested in are all blued, 7 1/2 inch barrel guns.
One is a 5 digit serial number, another is a 30 prefix, and I cant recall the last off the top of my head.
Not one is a collector. Its a crying shame the shape they are in. bores look good but externally, they have most the bluing worn off, one is missing the grips, the other two are walnut but the finish is shot. All three have enough rust to make you cry, but no deep pitting. The 5 digit serial number is currently jammed with the base pinn pulled out almost completely.
He hasn't set a price but has set all three aside for me so I get first crack at them. He's gonna do some research and find out what they are worth.
That's what this post is for.
Im looking for ballpark numbers so I know what to budget.
I know I wont get hosed on the deal as he's a stand up guy. I dont want to hose him either but I would like to come away with all three without breaking the bank.
For example, He had a very nice.357 BH 3 screw 4 5/8th inch in the case with an aftermarket rubber grip for $499. A 50 serial prefix as well. Some holster wear at the muzzle and front of the ejector housing.
I put $300 down and its now on layaway for $450.
Im just wondering what you guys think prices should be for all the above.
