Here's the deal. I'm a longtime member of thehighroad, M14forums, and several other gun boards, and each has its own "feel" and moderation style. I've read the "read this before posting" thread but I'd appreciate some feedback from long-timers here whether it would be all right for me to post and ask whether a particular gunbroker auction is a "good choice" or not.
I'm not smart/experienced enough in the Python world to recognize potential scams/problems and am currently in the market for a 6" bright stainless (or second choice, nickel, or possibly matte stainless) python as a Christmas gift for my father-in-law. I realize the prices have gone nuts in the past couple of years. I have no problem paying "fair" prices. (Ideally what would be considered by forum members as "a good deal"). However I don't want to get taken, or buy a lemon. This pistol will be mostly admired/fondled and occasionally fired. Box/papers unimportant, but condition must be as close to new-looking as possible.
I'd post a WTB in the classifieds but I'm not allowed yet...
So please LMK if it's "bad form" here to link to an auction and ask advice, potential value, problems, etc. I'd greatly appreciate the feedback and wisdom of those here with lots of knowledge on the subject. This is one of the best things about the Internet, IMO.
Thanks!
