Price check please!

[Glock 'em down]

I was at a local flea market today and there was a guy set up there with a couple of tables with a few guns on them. Most of them didn't really interest me (mostly bolt actions) but he did have a cute little Ruger Bearcat on the table.

A good looking revolver for sure, but very small for my big ol' meathooks. I'm still kicking myself for not buying it, but his price seemed awfully high ($500) for a dadgum .22LR S/A revolver. Maybe I'm just cheap, I dunno. If the masses think I missed out on a bargain, I'll see if he still has it next Saturday. If not, it wouldn't be the first time I suffered an "if you snooze you lose" kinda thang.

Does it have the box? The only completed bird head grip Bearcat did 615 on gunbroker. It had the box and paperwork with it

Nope, no box. That was another reason I turned him down.

She is clean and they are definetly a well made piece as most all Ruger revolvers are. When they were re-released a few year back that is about what they sold for new around 550. Because of inflation they still bring that used around 500-599. I would say that is neither a terrible bargain nor is it priced too high. Its about what it is worth.
They are awesome little guns if you have a young shooter starting out getting used to a revolver or heck just to plain have one yourself. JMHO

I did think about getting it for my grandson, he's 10. If it would've had the box, I might have bought it.

Where was the flea market at?

Show him $400 cash and see what he does.
Then get a presentation box for it to gift it to the kiddo.

Or.........just let the rest of us know where this flea market is and maybe the issue will take care of itself.

350-400 would have been a steal

I did just that and he turned me down flat.
