    I've got two Pythons from the 1970s era. A 4" and a 6". The 4" has its' original box but not so for the 6". Neither gun has two hundred rounds through it and they are principally HBWC. Both guns have less than a handful of .357Mag if any.

    Of recent I have noticed about a drop of about 10% on a couple similar Pythons. Want to hear your thoughts. Is it time to let them go?
     
    I am reminded of the rush for M1's and 1903's post Saving Private Ryan. I even considered selling my 03A3 for about 2 seconds and maybe for 15 seconds I considered selling the M2 22LR (they were up to $3000!!!) I have never considered selling my Garand. The rifles I have will likely never be worth what people were paying shortly after that movie but I didn't sell them then and I probably won't ever sell them.

    Now, if I were to have had several, I might have sold a couple.

    The prices on Pythons have likely peaked and are not likely to go back to what they were a couple of years ago. If you are not attached to these Pythons and want to sell for more than you paid, now is probably a good time.

    I’d say they are on the decline too. They went up with the popularity of The Walking Dead, but I’ve noticed the prices steadily going down. Especially with the 2020 python being released (I know it’s not apples-apples)
