Hey guys. Long story short I recently got a ruger super redhawk 454 casual in a trade. I had 550 into the gun that I traded, and I inted to sell the redhawk. What would be a fair price to list it at (knowing that people will try to talk it down)? Thr gun is in great condition and came with a box of ammo and a holster. Any info would help me tremendously.

Welcome to the GunBroker Forums!
We see a lot of buying, selling and trading in order to 'flip' a firearm for profit.
However, in this case, you should be aware that the market for the .454 Casull is very limited due to the extreme recoil exhibited by revolvers chambered for this cartridge. As has been pointed out in previous posts, you can usually find a nearly new revolver and a nearly full box of ammunition, missing only two or three cartridges.
For any of us to help with your question, please heed Charlie's suggestions along with some good, sharp photos for helping with determining condition.
Best.
If you put it on the auction. Emphasize that it's primarily meant to be shot using inexpensive, easy shooting 45 LC ammo. The 454 Casull only to be used in emergencies, like when Bengal tigers get into the back 40.
Maybe start at 600 and go from there. Like above, loof at some auctions that REALLY SOLD the same thing.
Nice to have a new member.
I got mine several years ago in trade with someone on this site for a Ruger #1 rifle that I had paid something in the neighborhood of $300 for but that was MANY years ago.
I have one just like it, I love it. However, like nononsense said, few people enjoy shooting them, they are knuckle manglers for most people and aren't for the weak of wrist or hand. I've let quite a few people shoot mine, none of them finished a cylinder of .454 loads.
My 10 year old shoots it with .45 colts in it. I generally shoot no more than 3 cylinders full of .454 loads during a range session. I've killed several deer with it, it's a great revolver.
