    Exclamation Holy mother of God!

    I can't believe the money some folks have? Wonder what the reserve is? I was looking at a S&W Club gun some years ago and was ready to go $25K on that one but that was a one of a kind, S&W family presentation piece with significant provenance. This pair is simply rare due to low production, among other things.

    Maybe I need to look at auctioning off a couple of my scarce/rarer Colts?

    Did I read that wrong or has someone has already bid $100,000! I know Pythons are going for a lot but that is someone who has not (or maybe has) done some research on what the going cost is. They are not even a matched set! They are nice, have all the original packaging, but $50,000 each!?!

    I tried to push the envelope, but found that it was stationery.

    According to the article, the reserve hasn't been met yet. Wow!

    I believe the BSTS model would carry the larger value so perhaps not $50K each but still a lot.

    If I had that kind of money to spend it would definitely not be on one gun!

    "Snicker"

    Guys I think the owner has set the starting bid price of $100,000 and set a reserve price higher than that. I bet they do not expect anybody to be dumb enough to drop that much money on the pair. AT best they might be worth $3,000 as a pair. That is probably nothing but a vanity post, he's saying look at the cool shit that I own people.
