I have a Ni plated colt Python I bought in 1997 for $350. It was owned by an abortion doctor who had death threats against him. He kept it in his car under the drivers seat. I was at an indoor range with it in 2018 and the owner offered me $3000 for it. Was it a legit offer? I offered to let him have it if I could shoot 600 rounds per year, for life, through his fully automatic HK9 he got from the Milwaukee police dept.
On the low side IMHO.
