That 'never sleeping' pays off!No where even remotely close to a record. I've posted "I'll take it" in the same minute a Python Elite was listed for sale about 2 years ago.
yes but he did say a snubby Colt Python Blue 2 1/2" FS, not an EliteNo where even remotely close to a record. I've posted "I'll take it" in the same minute a Python Elite was listed for sale about 2 years ago.

I bet I know the shop you're talkin about if it begins with the letter after your name, alphabetically that is....huh? huh?Yesterday I saw one of these, in lesser condition, in an area gun shop tagged at $8500. No box or anything, scuffed up just a little bit. Asked the clerk who was showing me something else if it was really $8500 and he said yes, that's what thery're selling for "on the internet".
Apparantly you beat "the internet" price by a considerable margin.
Enjoy your new to you revolver.

That's one thing the internet has accomplished...everyone can see when a buyer has paid too much. Sometimes it may create a sort of artificial higher value, sometimes others just realize somebody was foolish with a purchase, and other times it establishes a more true price because of rarity and demand. It's a roller coaster akin to the stock markets almost. Skill, work, and luck.Yesterday I saw one of these, in lesser condition, in an area gun shop tagged at $8500.

Burnie's ????I bet I know the shop you're talkin about if it begins with the letter after your name, alphabetically that is....huh? huh?Course I haven't been up that way for ages but due back in November for the ole doctor deal.
Thanks '68', i did hesitate for about a minute or two hoping some one would beat me to it,but i could not take it any longer
& pulled the triggeri think it will be a good one
I was on that Thread the same minute it posted and had "I'll take it" typed and was going to hit the enter key when lucidity returned and I backed out of the thread. I'd have smoked the previous "record" and would be dipping into the gun procurement account. You can thank they gentleman that sold me a Series 70 for my reluctance to add another Colt as quickly as I wantedThanks '68', i did hesitate for about a minute or two hoping some one would beat me to it,but i could not take it any longer
