Greg was a Machine Gun Collector in the 70s and acquired a heck of a nice collection. His Investment has paid him back handsomely and he has decided it is time to freshen his inventory and has sold off some of his Full Auto Stock and is now turning it into Python Stock hoping that in the next 10+ years the investment will double or triple as the Automatic weapons did. It is awfully hard to outbid him when he is working on a 10 year plan. There is a bottom to the pit and it will eventually come to the surface and things will get back to normal except the price of Pythons will have doubled because everyone with Eyes sees what is going on and wants a fortune for their Python also. When the Big Dog is done buying all that we will be left with is a bunch of Overpriced Pythons....Sounds familiar doesn't it.
That 2.5" SST Python at $5755 has a fake box so I wouldn't worry to much about losing that one. Funny story about that auction though, I seen all the crazy fighting going on with it and realized Riverdodger had a nice clean 2.5" SST Python in a Real Box and the gun had not been sanded to the last inch of it's life like the first gun is so I ran over and did the deed:
Colt Python, 2 1/2", STS, : Revolvers at GunBroker.com
Glad I underpaid (compared to the $5755 Junker) for it, I'm sure in the next 10 years it will Double or Triple in value
