The price sounds right IF:

Condition? Blue remaining, condition of the grips, etc.

Does the gun have the transfer bar conversion installed? If so, are original parts included?

If the gun has had the factory update, and the original parts are not included, probably deduct about $100~$150.

Unconverted Ruger Blackhawks bring the premium price, and box, instruction booklet, etc. all add to the value for collectors.

I'm not a collector, but value unconverted Rugers. A .357 Blackhawk in good condition I would pay $350, less for .44 or .45s, as the smaller frame of the .357 is more highly prized.

And, how badly do you want the gun?
