Colt Python .357, 6" - What's It Worth?
Upcoming pool renovation ($10k) prompts me to sell a few toys.
Purchased in '90 and never fired. . Gun boys, what do you think? TIA .  .

If it's never been fired, how do we know it works? That, and it's already 20 years old. In light of that, I might be willing to give you a hundred bucks or so, assuming I can get it to work.

Check out the completed sales / auctions at Guns for Sale - Online Gun Auction - Buy Guns at GunBroker.com. You may have to create an account to fully use the search feature (be sure to enable "completed") to get a nice snapshot of what the market will bear.
Never fired blue 6" Python with box? That's easily $1.5k, prolly closer to $2k+

My cousin just sold identical gun except his had the 4" barrel, a blemish in the blueing, and had shot quite a few rounds. He got $1200. for it. He also did not have the original box and/or owners manual. I would guesstimate yours s/b $1300 - $1500 as the 4" barrel and 2 1/4" barrel are considered worth more than the 6" but, your is unfired.

If you have some time to sell it, I'd start out with a fairly high price. I don't know what you have in your collection. Understand that it will not be cheap to replace that firearm later if you decide you want one just like it. Maybe you've got a closet full of them right now, but if that's your only one, replacing a NIB Python could be a daunting proposition.

I have a few other guns unfired, but this is the only Python .357 I have. Well, it's either sit on it for another 20 years or get my pool refubished. Thinkin'..........

Needs lots of work...built in the early '60's. Empty for years...I bought the place in Dec. '10.
Sides are peeling, pressure tests shows leaks in lines, etc. New tile and steps...some lifetime coating in the pool, itself...I plan to die here. Code says to put in a variable speed pump, etc. ($1,300). I want to go salt instead of chlorine...another $1,000. New light, new this/that... . Hell, one company came in with a $19,000 bid...unreal, eh?  Who are they kidding?

Sounds like basically a new pool without all the digging (just some of it).
