Need My ODT Brothers Expert Opinions

If shopping for a '90's model Anaconda and I find one with a 4" barrel, drilled and tapped, do you guys think that adds to the value or takes away. I collect Colts but just starting to check on Anacondas for sale. I have never purchased ANY gun that is "Drilled and Tapped" for a scope so not sure if that would turn buyers off or if they would be more excited. I guess it would depend on if they would ever want to add a scope! Any "serious" opinions to help me make a decision?

Not factory= kills collector value
If I were "collecting" I would take a hard pass. I, however, am a shooter/user so I would try to negotiate that as low as possible and shoot the crap out of it.

Yup, collector value's gone.

Thank you. These darn things are too expensive these days to do a bad investment so hoping for comments. I appreciate it.

Kills collector value, but not everything needs to be a collectors piece. Sometimes it's nice to have something, well, nice, and actually shoot it. If it is priced as a shooter and you like it, I say go for it. If it is priced as a collector, hard pass.

It's not listed either way. I am the collector so would want to know their is "collector value" when purchasing any of my guns. I am also extremely picky on what I buy. That's why all I advertise or show on here are immaculate. This is my savings account. No pension or retirement with my company and I may not be alive long so need to be sure the money spent can be recovered at some point if needed while I am still on this earth!

Anything that changes it from original will do away with collector value !
