I rarely see Colt Trooper Mark III revolvers for less than $400, and the last nickel Mark III I saw was $600 which I beleve was overpriced. What you need to ask yourselve is if you need a .357 revolver if you decide yes a nickel Trooper Mark III for $400 is a good deal. Trooper Mark III are not increasing in price in the same way that other Colt models are I would only buy the Trooper if you are planning to shoot and keep the revolver long term.

First off, I dunno if anyone NEEDS a .357; however as another thread here agreed, its almost impossible to beat the Trooper III as far as "bang for the buck" (please excuse the pun).
Secondly, EVERYTHING I buy gets shot......I don't pay premiums for a "cyl. never turned" because I plan on spinning it.
With all of that being said, I buy things I like, but I do wanna know if I am getting a good deal and if I am enjoying a product not everyone else has.....
My next purchase will most likely be a DS 3rd Gen becasue I prefer the shrouded ejector over the exposed (regaurdless of value).....however I do want it for a fair-good price and in good-great shape.....and it will stay that way even after 500 rds thru it. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
I did purchase the pistol.....even before the first response here (and I DO appriciate ya'lls cander and help). I will pick it up in 2 weeks near Austin,TX (no shipping) from a saler I have done business with before. Closing bid went for $390+ TX-tax.
Once again, thanks fella's.......I will enjoy my new find.
