Saw a 6" nickel Python this afternoon listed at $2699.00, and it was a long way from new. Ridiculous!

Absolute craziness.... At Eugene-Springfield "Cabela's", today, a 4" Blue c. 80's listed at
$2,499.99......
Thinking about how many neato "old" Smiths that I could buy with that amount of $$$! I just couldn't bring myself to spend that kinda of scratch on a Python. And, I've had a couple of Pythons many years ago. Wonderfully accurate but some of them had fitting and function problems that I couldn't overlook so they went for other guns that I wanted/needed. Had a couple of mid 60's Pythons, a blue 4" and blue 6"... THOSE two are the ones that I want back. The others - not a chance.
