Went to a gun show today and fell in love with a 1978 4 5/8" .357 Blackhawk.
The guy wants $350 for it, is that a good price?

If it's in good shape that's not a bad price, try offering him $300 for it and walk away with it for $325.
 
It's from a gun shop and was at a gun show. I shoulda just grabbed it cause if it dosen't sell it'll go back to the shop and will have all the tails hanging off it like a waiting period tax etc. I guess I should have just sprung for the 350 cause now it'll be a bit more...
There is plenty of the 357's out there so I guess I'll find another clean one or maybe that one

It will have all the same taxes and waiting periods regardless of whether you buy it at the show or at his shop, assuming he operates legally that is. If not, I wouldn't deal with him.
 
Not trying to be aq smart aleck OK?
Having only bought Black powder guns at gun shows, do they not just determine a price and it's cash and carry at a gun show? I thought they couldn't make you wait or charge taxes.
When I bought my Uberti, it was $248.00 cash and carry no tax etc.
I thought a dealer sale at a gun show was like a private individual

I wish. No, in California even a private party-private party handgun sale have to go through a dealer and suffer the waiting period. (Black powder guns are indeed different.)

Being here in CA with you, I feel your pain ZVP. :(
 
I shoulda known!
I thought the sales were just like buying a lawnmower at a Garage sale, Ha-Ha!
See, I never bought a gun at a Gun Sale, I always bought new. I was being mislead by all the bitching and propaganda that the anti's do.
For all the cool stuff that's here in Calif there sure is a lot of BS!
