Colt Python 2 1/2" value help.

Very wide range on Gun Broker. Can't seem to find one in similar condition, light surface scratches. No box or paper work. The 2 1/2" seems more rare.

Thanks

1500-2000 depending on the buyer and how bad he wants it.

LOL. Riggghhhht. Because there are TONS of Pythons on Calguns selling in that range.

Just do a forum search here OP. Gunbroker is a national audience with many more options to buy than here in CA. Unless your piece is extremely rare/collectible (and it is not), you'll do a lot better right here on CG. Shaf's estimate is laughable.

Put it up for a typical CGN gougy price and reduce it as need be or sell it to the highest offer.

Stainless won't typically fetch as much as blued, however I've seen a lot more blue 2-1/2 inchers than 2-1/2 stainless examples.

With no box and light surface scratches, it could do well from $2,600 to $2,900. But I wouldn't be surprised if someone coughed up as high as $3,200 for it, or were to bid it that high in an open auction indicting available as a PPT in CA ( even as is, where is on the buyer's part to meet that requirement).

What I find ironic is that the Python was a target-quality gun, yet the short snub barrel vesions draw the most interest. It's a bit contradictory, other than to say that not as many were made BECASUE it was a target-quality gun.

I've always heard for a snub it is the most accurate of all of them but trying to pit a snub Python against say a S&W 14 with a full length barrel would be an unfair comparison.

$3k easy ��

I sold one last year in better shape for, I think, $2,800. It was part of a package of two Pythons, and am pretty confident I could have gotten more if I had held out and sold them individually, but the buyer was pleasant to deal with, and I was ok with being done with them.

There are no such thing as scratches on a stainless gun.... Go buy some mothers mag polish and a cotton t shirt..

Good point - I've done the same with many of my stainless guns. The only concern is ovepolishing that then gives it a smooth shiny "chrome" appearance. So take a green scour pad and lightly burnish it back to a brushed appearance.

[Guncollector84]

The hand polish will not remove scratches but rather just shine up the gun.
You would need to hit it with a wheel to actually get out the scratches.

If it were mine, I'd ask $3,000 and hope for more.

If it were a 3 inch, were talking $8,000-$10,000.

Is that pitting on the front of the Barrel by the 357?

[Mot Mi]

I'll give you 2200 for it

I recently saw a never fired stainless 2.5" factory ported barrel complete with box and papers for $13,000.
