hello ,,500 for a standard lenght blued model mk2 with standard features is way too high,,NIB there only 350..and if it's used i'd be hard pressed to offer 250 for it without a box ,,i bought a mk 2 about 2 yrs ago for 150 out the door with the box ,,look around and even check out gunbrokers.com and see what there bringing at auction ,,if you find one ya want most gun dealers will let ya bid and buy it and charge ya a slight fee of between 10-20% of cost for receiving it ,,then you send the seller the money and a copy of his ffl and he send the pistol directly to your dealer and you do the paperwork and check just like you were buying it off him,,save ya some money that way and eliminate the high priced dealer altogether and proably get a better gun in the long run,,just my opinion..i just looked and gunbrokers have some over there ,,heres 1 that looks pretty nice withthe bull barrel and adjustable site for 315 and a stainless model to boot ,,when ya get there search either ruger mk2 or mkII or just ruger and see what ya find ,,also check auction arms,,and search the same phrases ,,heres the one on gunbrokers ..
