[QUOTE="turkeyrun, post: 4295261, member: 27991"] circa 1988: was at Gunshow in Houston. Private seller table had a 6" Python $650. Guy was looking at it, said he was wanting a 4", but might be back. Walked a couple of aisles, see a guy trying to sell a 3" Python to a dealer. Dealer turned him down. He left the table and asked to see it. I made the purchase at $350. Next aisle, I see first at a table, asking about 4" Python? They didn't have one. I said, I had one. He looked at it and says "it is a 3" I act surprised and ask, "does that make it more or less valuable?" He says "it is worth $650" I act disappointed. "Oh, I was hoping for more. Are you a buyer at $650?" He was. I have kicked myself many times over selling it but, at that time, $300 profit in less than 10 minutes was more important. [/QUOTE]
