if it is NIB.., start at $1,200.00 !!
FWIW, EVERY Ruger fiream is shot, aka "test-fired", before it's sent to the warehouse for shipment.
Once a firearm has been sold at least once @ retail, it's "used" - if never actually fired later or nicked up by handling ("handling marks"), it can be considered "NIB" or "as NIB"

Ruger's auto-loading 44MAG carbine failed twice in the marketplace largely because of high price combined with very plain wooden stock. I never could comprehend the high price because most of the parts are plain stampings and the wood is nothing to get excited about, either. Yet these carbines are accurate and reliable.
I'd list it at $800. to sell. List it higher to keep for a potentially long time.
Good luck with the sale.

failed?
Don't know how many units Ruger sold of the old tube feed model, but enough to keep the carbine on the market for many years. The mag fed model was the logical upgrade, along with tighter twist rate and easier manufacture, but with Bill Rs death, the bean counters at Ruger didn't see the profit they wanted. That and the rage for anything tactical or long range, killed the .44's.
Result, a very practical woods carbine bit the dust. Both models bring top prices, and I suspect more than a few are being bought by hunters and shooters not just collectors.
A 10-15 round box, a poly stock or folder and a rail, and Jeff Coopers "thumper" would have been a reality.

Maybe you're a bit confused. The original .44 carbine failed because it was so expensive to produce, as it was milled entirely from billet steel.
44 carbine
In the mid 70's I aquired a Ruger 44 Mag Carbine. It was accurate and fast handling little carbine. Had it a few months and a friend talked me into trading it for something. After the trade I knew I made a mistake. In 2001 I got a Deerfield and I love it. I will not repeat "not" let this one go.
