    Sounds like you came across one of the older guns. I wouldn't buy it without seeing how it shoots first. At best it may be worth about $250, at least I wouldn't pay more then that.

    Charter Arms has a good reputation for reliability. They are solid little revolvers.

    But you have to realize, they are low rent guns to begin with. It didn't cost more than $250 new, and it wouldn't cost any more than that to replace. ANY used gun is going to take a hit in resale value. $200 is a fair asking price for a used Charter Arms in my opinion.

    Basically, you wont get enough money out of it to justify selling it. Its a solid little gun, but its just not worth much money on the open market. keep it for your own use, and enjoy shooting it. :)

    Keep it, is my advice. BTW, does it have an ejector shroud? If it does not, for sure one of the older guns, and more reliable than the newer production.

    I say pounce on it. I have an older one (pre Charter 2000) that has been through the mill and still has pretty good lock up and a real good trigger. I really like it.
