$25,000 Colt Python?

[Broham85]

$25K for the gun and still charging $35 for shipping, what a putz..

[wolfmann]

While this is a nice gun,the story is not enough for the price tag.
Remember the saying "there is a sucker born every minute"
Remember the "priceless paintings by so and so" that people paid millions for that turned out to be fake?
Anyone who buys this is looking at it as a investment that will hold or increase in value.
For ME NAWWWW.

[B2D]

I'd rather buy 25 $1000 guns.

Or 12 $2000 gun setups

Or a car.

[bergmen]

Up to $26,025.00 as of 8:00 this morning west coast time.

Front left side has 2 nice nicks on barrel. Price is crazy wonder if they would pay that much for my colt grizzly not that its for sale but damn.

Those are pretty nasty dings alright.

Is it the ivory grips?

I was wondering the same thing.

[Beendare]

The question is; How many of these out there?

the description says, "Very few produced", well how many exactly?

If it's 20....then yeah this thing is worth some dough. If its 6,000....no.

This is a 2003 Python Elite with a 6'' barrel that has factory bright stainless finish and factory ivory grips. In the last decade this is only the 3rd factory BSS Elite I have ever seen as there were only a handfull made. Combined with factory ivory grips which is an option that is almost never seen on any Python this is most likely the only one in existence in this exact configuration.

So, maybe only one, but certainly low single digits.

The dealer that I purchased a set of Python walnut grips from several years ago dropped out at $30,000.00.
This Python Elite with forty-seven bids sold for $38,775.00!
Average Python Elites on gunbroker sell for between 3100. and 4500.

If I was rollin' in it, I would have bid big for that gun. It is magnificent.

Congrats to the new owner!

[Griffdog]

WOW beautiful Python brings the big money. BTW those 2 nicks are actually just a reflection of the photographer....she's near perfection!!

[onelonehorseman]

Beautiful Python for sure.

I would think that one would need to be s SERIOUS collector to consider paying that kind of $ for a Colt revolver of relatively recent production.

Now if that were an original Walker Colt of fine collectible condition . . . . $38K would be the deal of a lifetime!

[newbie1234]

SOLD, $38,775 , unbelievable.
If I have 38K to spend, it will be two each: Les Bear, Night Hawk, Wilson Combat, Ed Brown, Sig P210, CS Shadow2 Orange.
Mr. Warren Buffett , why don't you adopt me

[Sir Toast]

I'm sorry, I just don't see $38,000 for it.

[Spyder]

If I was loaded, I'd buy it and make it a daily carry in a leather holster and shoot it every week, just to freak out all you people that are complaining about someone else spending their own money in a consensual transaction to obtain desired goods.
