Hi all.

A friends grand ma wants to sell her dead husbands Colt Cobra . It is like New condition, probly never fired as far as she knows and it is a 1951 production.

She just wants whatever for it. I offerd $300 and she was super happy. I don't want to take advantage of her. No box though.

Unfired Colt Cobra made in 1951, you could double that offer and still be getting a good deal.

probably at lease triple it, $900 for an "unfired" snake gun? A deal even for one of the less known ones (i.e. Not a python/anaconda).

Sweet, thx for the help. She is on SS and needs some $$. I really want a Cobra so I will give her 5 nice crisp $100 bills. I could not sleep ripping her off. It does not have one scratch on it. I was told it sat in a drawer it's whole life.Also I have it so it will be well cared for. One of her kids from NYtold her to take it to the PD for disposal..

As other replies noted, a new, unfired, mint condition Cobra would bring big $$$ on Gunbroker (I wouldn't be surprised if it went for $1,000 when the gavel fell).

Give her whatever you can afford that seems fair, but know that it is worth a LOT more than $300.

How long does it take to get to the old lady's house?
You were headed out the door yesterday afternoon to pick it up for $300.
