I might have had the BEST show of my life this past weekend. Here is a list of what I picked up...

LNIB 2.5" BSS Colt Python
LNIB 6" E-Nickel Colt Trooper MKIII in .22 Mag
99% (maybe unfired) 5" Colt Cobra (1960 production)
99% 6" Blue Python (No Box) (1977)
NIB Lew Horton (1984) Limited Edition 2.5" SS S&W 686 (Serial Number ALW0000) Serial number ZERO!

I now need to raise some cash so most of these will be finding their way onto GB over the next several days...

That's a pretty good weekend!
Selling anything here?

The guns I'm sure I want to sell are going to be real "wildcards" as far as selling price goes. I have no idea what the 2.5" BSS Python, .22 Mag Trooper, and Lew Horton 686 might bring. Hate to say it but I'm going to leave the price up to the bidders on GB. My gun buying fund is completely empty and I need a cash infusion REAL bad.

I plan to keep the 5" Cobra. Right now, I'm undecided on the 6" Python.

Yes that is a heck of a show! I've never picked up that much good stuff at a single show, not even close, WOW! Were you set up or just walking around? I'm guessing set up.

Yeah, I had my own table at the show. It's near the front entrance and I always try and keep an eye on what's walking through the door. Today was just blind luck. It was a buddy of mine who steered the BSS Python my way. I never would have seen it if it wasn't for him.

I only sell about one gun every other show or so. There isn't a lot of Colt collector money at the Tucson shows. I'd say about 80% of the crowd and "black guns & ammo" types who don't even give my Colts a second glance. If I can pick up a nice Colt here and there, it's well worth it. Today I just got stupid lucky...

Hello
Don't want this to come off as sarcasm, but if you need cash that bad, why in the world did you buy guns in the first place?

I just do this as a hobby (not a FFL dealer). I will sometimes buy a few guns with the intention to "flip" them so that I can raise cash for other "keeper" guns. I didn't mean to imply that I needed the money for normal everyday living expenses, but rather to boost my gun buying fund. I just happened to get a good enough deal on the Python and Trooper as to make a few bucks on a flip...

I won't be listing the guns for a few days. My wife and I are off a couple days for our 30th Wedding Anniversary. Here are a couple of very quick pics...
