2015 Python Values in CA?

[HotnHere]

I'll tell you what they are selling for. I have been watching the sales on the gun websites for some time now.

Any Python in good shape with original grips 2500-3000
Collector guns, never fired outside the factory. depending upon finish condition, 3500-4500. Elites 6000- 8000.

do you know what king Cobra's are going for currently?

[asphaltcowboychip]

Can anyone give me input on this one? It has holster wear on the very tip of the barrel. It has original grips, but the back of the grips have some chipping. I've shot it and it's super smooth/accurate. It also came with some custom grips and pachmyer grips.

Thanks in advance.

Please allow me to correct you-"people really are paying $2000-3000 for an "okay" (shooter) Python, and in certain offerings (great one) over $4000.00+. That's today's prices. The Colt Python will and continue to epically break all hand gun pricing barriers.

You are so correct and they will go up more. Now is the time to get them cause waiting for them to go down is not going to happen and moaning about it won't make the dollar sign go down either and along with Python prices going up so will the other Pony's like the Diamondback,Anancona and so on and so forth.So don't piss and moan folks get it now cause later you will say "Darn should have got me one when I had the chance,At a good price???
Boo hoo!!

P.S.Looking at the prices on Gunbroker,Gunsamerica,Gunsinternational,Auctionarm s, the prices here are not to bad if you take a hard look and compare us and them.I don't think that's to bad for us lepers in Colony California accept for a few jerk offs being outrages...

Just to update....when I attended an Orange County firearms auction last month, the 3 non-Elite Pythons that sold while I was there went for between $3000 and $3800....if you include buyers premium (12-15%) and state tax (~8%). The market is still bold.

Breaking New Concerns Colt Python Prices in California.

Expensive today.
More expensive tomorrow.

Yes. The man in back row; you have a question?

[theneko]

Jeez guys, its very simple-
1. People will pay more for things that what you may think is reasonable
2. Pythons will always increase in value to some extent, e.g. they were cheaper 20 years ago
3. Guns in CA will always be more expensive than everywhere else and until you move out of this nanny state you will be paying more for your guns than people in free states do
4. The python cost/value issue has been beaten to death here

When someone is ready to pay $2,500 for a regular old anaconda please PM me.

I always leave my FS ad prices up. I like having ad prices to refer to, but if people want to edit it out, that is their prerogative.

That's it then. I'm going to go dust off a LNIB Python I've had for the last 25 years and put it in the classifieds.

Every Colt gun is different and holds it's own worth.

American Rifleman article on Colt revolver values (08-18-2015)

They valued the current (free America) price of a NIB 6" barrel Colt Python, with royal blue finish that was made in 1960, at $18,000.

Damn, clicked on the Bobby Brown and had to watch it, lol

Uhh, how "regular" is the old gun? Send me a pic!

[driveljay]

I believe it was the latest issue of American rifleman...if not it was a similar major publication....with an article written by the guy that writes the blue book gun guides. In that article they talk of some models selling for 18k and up, more than once, on popular auction sites. Some even in the 30k range. Would I pay that? No way. I don't care what model or rarity...but more than one collector out there seems to be willing to pay any price.

Yes. The man in back row; you have a question?

Yes I have a question. Why spend $2500-3000 for a used python when a GP100 can be had for around $500-800? Then you still have money left for a trigger job and sights.

Unless you are buying for an investment I cannot justify the price.

Having shot both. I doubt there is anything you can do to a GP100 to make it feel like a Python.

Some items just set a standard be it function, beauty or a combination of both other items just don't meet.

On the other hand if you want a solid revolver that will never let you down. The GP and S&W do make great revolvers.

So I cleaned, oiled and shined it all up. Now I don't want to sell it.

When will I ever get another LNIB Python with box, sleeve, papers and hang tag again?
