One Friday afternoon, I had a chance to buy one used in pretty doggone good condition about five years ago for … $495! (one of the clerks had just put it out, a trade-in, apparently, the owner hadn't pulled out his Blue Book on that one yet) … And I passed, for one day; of course, when I went back to the shop when it opened the next day.I had a chance to buy a LNIB King Cobra like six or seven years back for $800. Still kicking myself for passing it up.

Gun show this last weekend, one private seller had not one, but two King Cobras -- both marked at $2000. Sheesh.
I’m thinking old lady who’s husband died.Which means the poor guy who traded it in probably got $300 for it.
If Colt does decide to produce a new .44 and do not wish to reuse the Anaconda name, there are plenty of deadly serpents to choose from. How about Tiapan or Moccasin?
