Got to look at one of these two nights ago at LGS. They got in two 6" models and sold one the first day and the other the next. Posting a pic below, which given the better pics already posted seems a bit redundant at this point. Selling for $1,699 and apparently no trouble finding buyers. I was advised that dealer cost was $1,325. I don't know how dealer cost varies from dealer to dealer, but man that seems high. At MSRP that about 11-12% margin. Anyway, it was almost out of the question at $1,499, definitely out at $1,699.
As a consolation I picked up a display model S&W 66-8 from Academy. Regular Academy price $799, clearance price $649, manager gave me another 10% off, plus 5% off with Academy credit card. $612 OTD, or 3 new Pythons after tax.
