How do I buy a blue Colt Python 6 in.?

Save your shekels, mortgage the farm and watch the listings in Gunbroker for a complete idiot who'll sell one below market value. You'll need some luck...about the same as winning tonight's multi-gazillion lottery.

Buy a good Smith instead, you'll be happy for the rest of your life.

I saw at at least 5 pythons at the gun show. I bought a 6" bright stainless steel. The dealer told me he bought a whole collection from some older gentleman. They all look unfire except for a blue 4". The price ranges from 1400 to 2200. On my way to pick mine up in about 30 minutes.

If you need the dealer info, let me know. He has an 8" bright ss for 2100 that I am very tempted for.

That might be good advice...note...MIGHT be...if the OP was simply looking for "a revolver." But he said he was looking for A PYTHON. I'm a Smith & Wesson guy myself, but when I wanted a Python, sorry, Smith & Wesson didn't make those. No matter how many Smith & Wessons I bought, they just weren't a Python.

Now, I'm not saying the Python is any better than a Smith...it's just different. And it is unique.

To the OP. I finally found the Python I'd been looking for years at my LGS. It's not a pristine, unfired, in the box with papers and such, but it's a good shooter and doesn't look like it was used to drive fence nails. The key was I was there at the right time (check often), and I was ready to strike when I saw it (thank goodness for layaway).
 
I have 4 Pythons and love them. I know it's heretical to say so, but my Dan Wesson 15-2s and S&W 586, 686, and 27 are just as smooth and accurate, and can probably stand up better over the long haul to sustained .357 magnum shooting.
