Found a good condition, older model here locally but can't decide if I should jump on it. I've noticed the 6" is rare and I'm having a hard time putting a dollar figure on it.

One 6" SS .357 for sale at the local chain store for $849.

A photo or two would help. Also, what are they asking for it?

I'd say, as the others above, around $650 or so.

Guys asking $500 and I've got about $125 worth it misc ammo he'd take in trade so it'd run me $375 OTD. Don't have any pics, sorry. It's blued with wood grips.

Accepting your description of it being in good
condition, the price less ammo discount seems
OK. The GP100 holds up to a lot of shooting
and time so its age doesn't mean much. Only
drawback for me is that it is 6 inches. The
GP100 gets a bit ungainly, for me, at the length.
A very positive is that Ruger can and does
refurbish guns all the time, even for second
and third owners and often at no cost to the
owner.

If it checks out, that's a can't lose proposition. Is it a half lug or full? Bonus if 1/2 lug IMO. Good deal regardless.

that's a good price in a world where you can't even buy a used Blackhawk for what he's asking.

Well I messaged the guy, local living room FFL, and he said he was no longer interested in the ammo but he's got the gun. Still a deal for the full $500?
A blued half lug, go buy it.

Can you elaborate on that? I've got a 4" GP100 I used to shoot a lot in my early 20's but don't know a lot about the guns.

Matey...... 5 Benjamin's......crickey
The only thing that would make it better for me is if it were a 44 special.
But believe me.......heck, I'd have already had it, had it apart for thorough cleaning and a little polishing, and maybe shot by now......
Do not, as the old saying goes, be dime wise and dollar stupid...... 5 Benjamin's is a bloody good deal unless it's a total turd. If that be it in the pic, it's worth what I posted earlier

He means the lug underneath the barrel that houses the ejector rod only goes halfway down the barrel instead of being flush with the muzzle. Being a half-lug means there is less weight out towards the muzzle and makes it more maneuverable. The extra weight if it was a full lug would help lower muzzle rise.
I assume you know the difference between a stainless and a blued gun?
I don't know which is rarer...the half-lug or the full lug, but some people like the aesthetic of a half-lug more and others prefer the full lug.
At any rate, I bought a used 4" stainless that was pristine 8-10 years ago (don't remember exactly) for $450. If there isn't any rust, $500 is a fantastic price.
