Quite honestly, guys, the "value" of this thing doesn't mean squat between us. We're brothers. I have two brothers actually, and firearms change hands between us under all kinds of circumstances. Hell, I could have asked to "borrow" this Python and my brother would have just given it to me. We have each other's guns that we have "borrowed" around our little triumvirate thirty years ago that still haven't found their way "home". We very rarely change "ownership" in any kind of a formal manner like we did here. When we do, it's with the understanding that the original owner, if he ever wants it back and the new owner is willing to let it go, it goes back for about the same price, regardless of increase (or decrease) in value. These guns fall into a special "shall not sell outside the family" classification. In other words, I'm not gonna turn around and flip my brother's Python for five or six grand tomorrow. We made our deal with both sides knowing full well what it is worth. If he really needed the money, and really didn't mind it being gone for good, he knows what he could have sold it for. For me to turn around and do that just wouldn't be right. Besides, I'm sure he would tell mom.
