    I own a mint Colt King Cobra .357 with a 4" barrel in blue and Pachy grips. No box, no papers....but she's a beauty and fired very little.

    I've been bouncing around the idea of selling it but have no idea what it's worth. I see SS ones listed all the time for $600-$800 but recently came across this item in GunBroker and found it unbelievable. I know guns are sometimes priced ridiculously on this site, but is there something special about this gun that I don't know about? Any help valuing this weapon would be appreciated.

    High end mint condition blue book value is $495.00 with the original grips. tack on another $20 for your pacs but if there is ANY blue wear at all take off about $45.

    I'll give you $50 and a six pack of Sam Adams for it. Then, I can OC it around Grant Park and scare the crap out of my neighbours.

    :twisted:
