A older friend just sold a NIB Python Elite for close to 3k. Unreal. He has had it since the 70's and I told him it was probably worth 2k. He decided to sell it right quick and ended getting scary close to 3k. He couldn't believe it. Had no idea it was even close to that valuable. I don't see where that kind of money is in them but Oh well. I would rather have 6 Model 66's myself than one Python.
