Just curious. I have no plans on selling mine just yet, although a friend has had his eye on it ever since I got it.
It's basically in like new condition, other than scorch marks/fouling on the front of the cylinder, and a trace of copper fouling in the bore. Those are cleaned up easily enough. Two of the chambers lock up like a bank vault, three wiggle side to side just the tiniest bit. Next to no endplay, and an entire box of 100 Remington 125 gr SJHPs hasn't made it any worse. You can really just barely feel it. Timing is pretty much perfect as far as I can tell. No gas cutting on the top strap at all yet. Basically the kind of wear you'd expect from about 100 rounds of .38 SPL and 200 .357s.
Has a Wolff 8 pound trigger return spring and a 9 pound hammer spring. Trigger return is positive, and it reliably ignites CCI primers. Not a single failure to fire yet. Trigger pull is about 8 pounds, with no/minimal stacking.
These things seem to be pretty rare. Ruger no longer makes them with this finish, and Lipsey's no longer sells them. I've never seen one for sale online, ever, and it seems like when someone gets really lucky and finds one used in a gun store, it's priced like a regular SP-101.
