It's easily worth that to a collector wanting to fill a slot. For a shooter it's too high. When I see one (which is not often) without the box and wearing Pachmayrs they are between $650-$750. You sure don't see many though. Except for the over-priced stuff on gunbroker. I searched completed auctions and there was not a single auction that actually sold.

A LNIB 657 with the (plastic) box sold for $840. http://www.gunbroker.com/item/720304451

This is not a popular cartridge. I'm surprised Ruger still makes them. I have a 657 and love it but if I didn't reload I wouldn't own one. The only reason I traded for the one I have is it came with dies and 300 pieces of brass.

It should be noted that while factory ammo isn't everywhere like 44mag, new brass and boolits for the reloader are readily available online and probably most any LGS worth it's salt.
