The Walking Dead is already a thing of the past, and frankly it's effect on the market for Pythons is over rated anyway imo. The market was already going up in the US before the series, and has just gotten stronger. I look at it as a similar situation to the trend with muscle cars. 20 years ago, you could pick up a decent Mopar, Chevy or Ford for a decent price still, now they are 5-30x the price depending on what it is. Do you think the price of those muscle cars is going to come back down to a 'reasonable' price, since they used to be so affordable? Not hardly. As far as frustrated owners who won't get half what they paid....most owners I know are collectors. We aren't so much about selling, as having in our collection. Because we can afford it, and we like them. If some person with one Python needs to dump it for cash, and sells it cheaply, do you think I'm going to panic and flog all mine off for peanuts, before the market crashes? What a joke. Just like art, coins, stamps, and muscle cars. What you as a non owner think they are worth, or going to be worth, is irrelevant, as those who have them and those who want them are the ones who set the price. Those who sit back and call the owners of them 'stupid' for paying the price, really are just showing their lack of respect for other gun owners. Like we need more of that in our community.
