not real up on the barrel sizes and the prices for them , on a 357 looks like 6 is the most popular and the cheapest, is the 2.5 and 4 gonna be higherin price  and of course i know the 8 and up are gonna be higher , but i guess my question is starting with a 6 , the smaller and larger barrels are gonna be higher than a 6 inch pretty much ?  , looking at a 2.5 for around $150.00 just wondering if that was pretty good ?

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

It all depends on how the sun and the moon line up, the tides, and who's hunting for a barrel the same time you are.  If the markings don't matter you can order a new 2.5" from DW for $195.  Prices can be all over the place and condition nearly always determines price.

Anymore any barrel in semi decent shape is worth $150... Most of what I would call nice ones start up around $180-- and that is just for the 2" to 8" range...

Anythying over 8" is anyones guess.

If it helps any, I recently bought a 4" vented for $150 and a 2.5" vented for $160 off GB.  In my opinion, both were in great condition.  Good bores, no blue wear, no rust, good threads on both ends.  I shopped for a while to find those.  I saw several BAs go for less, but the condition of those were all in the poor - good range.
