a little high ive seen a few around here for 300 but if its what you want they probably arent going to get any cheaper.

I had one years ago, when they first came out. I used it for Cowboy Action Shooting (SASS) paid $235. We did a lot of shooting. As I got faster my Trapper jammed alot--- a whole lot. I traded it and got a Marlin 1894cl in 357. Marlin is trouble free and has a MUCH better trigger- easier to hit targets. Go to the SASS forum and ask folks about their Win 94's in 357. The !894 action was designed for longer 30-30 class cartridges and works OK with the 45 colt and 44 mag-but the 357 has a bad track record. It is your money- but for $400 I would buy the Marlin.

Here's some better ideas (I think):

These are all updated copies of the '92 Winchester, much better for pistol cartridges than the Model 1894. Available in other calibers, too.

Hey guys..Lately I have had a hankerin for a 357 lever..I just got a lead on a NIB Winchester 94 AE 16" Trapper for $400..With the discontinuation of the 94, is this a fair price? The guy will not budge.

thanks for the advice fellas

Hope you bought the Winchester, as they are getting pretty non existent. Prices are going up dramaticly. $400 is a steal now as they are listing over $700.

I'm glad I got my 16"1894-1994 AE 100 year anniversary in 45 colt. What an awesome shooter.
