Have a chance to buy this anaconda tomorrow they're asking 1650 I haven't had a chance to see it yet but they sent me this picture does it look like it would command that price?

Price appears to be $1,500 on tag. Used to sell them for around $450 in the early ‘80s.

Look at it first hand.  Someone scrubbed hell out of the frame; take a look at the pony logo.

That knocks the condition down considerably, but some of that is already counted in the price.

I consider the long barrel a knockdown on the price, but some people like 'em.

Look at the frame around the grips, the photo shows an change of surface finish, but that might be the photo and lighting.

Check the cylinder lockup, look for flame cutting of the frame at the front end of the cylinder, checking or cracks in the forcing cone.  Screw slots for burrs.

I cock a revolver and look down the barrel looking at alignment with the chambers.  A rod is better, but no one carries those in a pocket.

The prices on GunBroker are considerably higher.

I am pretty sure that they were not made until about 1991 or 92 but they were around $450 then.

I got mine 10 years ago for $600 on Gunbroker. The 45LC were going cheaper than that. I wish I had known.

I just sold my 6" .45 Colt Anaconda for $2,000.

$1,650 seems like a deal...
