Can you give me some guidance on how much I should pay for an Extra Ruger Revolver Cylinder?
Thank you Karl Zicon.

Always remember, the market drives the price, i.e. Economics 101, Law of Supply and Demand.
Saying that, Ruger Cowboy Single Action Revolver Cylinders are in two general categories, the original 3-Screw Version plus that next generation, and the current models which are mainly manufactured by third parties like Davidson and Lipsey.
If you can find an extra or replacement cylinder the Ruger Cowboy 22LR and 22 Magnum are the most commonly available and run about $125.00 on eBay. The 357 Magnum and 44 Magnum are going between $95.00 and $125.00. The 45 Long Colt (LC) is around $75.00. The 45 acp goes for around $125.00. The 41 Magnum and 44-40, which are rare can be upwards of $175.00. The later version 9mm and 30 Caliber are $125.00 to $200.00.
Special Note: Lately the 357 Magnum has been popular because these can be bored out to accept a 9mm and 44-40. See pictures of some Ruger cylinders below:

If you are shopping for an extra or replacement cylinder, be patient, and check eBay frequently to find what you want.
The double Action Ruger Cylinders (all calibers) are around $125.00, make sure these are complete with the ejector rod.

The prices above do not include the old Ruger Black Powder Revolvers, or conversion cylinders which can still be purchased new for around $230.00.

Commentary -
The older Ruger cylinders are getting harder to find and more expensive. Double Action Revolver Cylinders are NOT interchangeable with Cowboy style Single Action Handgun Cylinders.

==> My recommendation is -
Make damn sure the Ruger cylinder you purchase is for your Ruger Revolver.
