I've seen some of the prices, but I'd like to know what someone would actually pay, not what the person wants.

Use the advanced search / completed items search on gunbroker.

I've done that, hence the statement of "I've seen some of the prices". I see you didn't answer the question.

Well, if you have seen the completed auctions, then you know what "someone" is actually paying, not what they are wanting to pay...

If I wanted to sell or trade it on those sites, I would, but I don't, but you're too stupid to figure that out.

$250.00 what I paid in 1978 and sold it for a few years later ........ really wish i would have kept that python.

I paid a stupid little amount for a 686 7 shot years ago, sold it for a nice profit, but thinking I should've waited.

Thank you so much for pointing this out I could never figure out if they had this function and always had to put a watch on a item to see what it sold for. this is really helpful for pricing things thanks.

If it sells for that on gunbroker then that's what the market will bear for that item. a local item i have found sometimes sells for about 10% less because they dont have to pay the fees and hassels with selling remote.

This guy gets it, as does paulgt2164. Someone else doesn't...

Yeah, everyone in here should have known that automatically...


We should be able to read your mind.

It would be a short story. Very short and unintelligible...
 
Colt Python prices are never going to go down and only go up thanks to the show the "The Walking Dead"

Hell even Colt brought back the Python brand new to capitalize on the show. I know gun hating liberals that want to buy Colt Pythons. Colt has had production quality problems with the new Pythons so the older hand built by real gunsmiths will appreciate even more.
 
So Twenty one 6" Colt Python in a Nickle finish were completed 11 sold and 10 didn't sell (of those ten some tried to sell them 3 times so not 10 different guns)

1964 sold for $5025 with 28 bids
1971 sold for $5050 with buy it now
1969 sold for $6001.09 with 27 bids

everything else was newer and min sale price of $2250-3399
and yes the one posted for 11k and the other posted for 29k didn't sell both special editions new in box.

You can buy a valuation at Blue Book of Gun Values
 
I'm sure most of those high prices were mint collectors pieces. I'll play along with the game and say that I wouldn't pay more than $2500 for a nice shooter (I wouldn't buy a beater but also not in the market for a "sealed in original packaging" unit). But even then, while I'd love to own one it's not the highest priority spend right now.

So there, now we have a floor of $2500. You can probably make an easy $1k profit on top of that by dealing with the hassle from Gunbroker. I have never bought or sold anything on Gunbroker, so I get your reticence to deal with them, but this is the exact kind of item where it's just worth it to list online. Making an extra $50 on a Glock? Not worth it, IMO. Making an extra $1k+ on a Colt? Only you can put a price on your time.

Thank you, that was exactly the sort of response I was hoping for. It's sad the other idiots can't figure it out. Did I overpay? Am I under priced? Am I looking to buy, or sell? None of that was mentioned in my OP, they "AssU MEd" facts they were not told.

I don't know that my response gives you any actionable info though. 1 sample point does not indicate the value in an aggregated market. It's no different than real estate. I might think a property is too expensive to buy, but if someone from out of state is sitting on cash and buys it sight unseen to turn it into an Airbnb, well good luck to them. All I can do is vote with my dollar, adjusted down for inflation.

Don't overthink this dude, you already answered the question.

This all coming from a dude that takes a AR15 and spray paints it with chrome spray paint.
It doesn't get any more FUDD than that....

Herpe Derp, Herpe Derp. Herpety Derpety

I've seen pictures(and videos) of you, you even look like a FUDD. A FUDD who looks like they are about to give birth to twin FUDD'S with pony tails and orange construction shirts

Completed auctions on Gunbroker are a good barometer for what someone would pay. And, provides a wide, pool of potential customers.

And yet you never put your real name to your posts. I am indeed who I say I am, and many can attest to what I'm capable of. And, just for the record, that AR is all chrome and polished aluminum except the magazine and buttstock. It took me almost a year to get all the parts to keep it reasonably priced, and hours to get it to that shine, and it could use more.

You, you're just an idiot posting anonypussy style, with no merits in life but your online gaming .
