Krieghoff 500 Nitro Express For Sale

[CoElkHunter]

I think this site would be well-served if the moderator would require that a minimum number of non-selling posts would be required (at least 25-50) before placing a classified ad would be allowed. This requirement is very common among the many special interest sites with which I am registered. My next issue, which I have previously raised, is that when someone lists an item for sale, it should be left at that. If one is interested in the item, then pm the listing member. For example, if someone list a rifle for sale, it is not the place to comment on the caliber or "great rifle, wish I could afford it." This is also a restriction on most special interest sites that allow the listing of items for sale.

I would definitely agree with the first part of your idea. Over the last year or so, maybe longer, I can't count the number of "new" members posting numerous items for sale after they've been on AH for a day/week or two. I think many are selling here to avoid Gunjoker's fees and/or some are just flat out seller scams? But, if you take away comments from potential buyers here and relegate to the "PM" system only, you'll take away some of our "entertainment" here on AH? Examples: "Great rifle at a fair price. I would buy it if I didn't have to pay for the colonoscopy I had last week", or, "Nice deal, but I just bought six of the same rifles over the last couple of months, so.....?" Entertainment! LOL

Do you have any pictures of it on the hunt? What animals were you after and where did you take it in Africa?

I added some photos of the hunt. If you need anything else let me know.

@Barton Stone I sent you a PM. If you agree I’ll buy it

$9,500 sounds $1k-2k low. Where’s it located? Not a bad idea to see if there are any members nearby willing to check it out. Being a new member folks are gonna need more info

A krieghoff distributor told me between 8 and 9 k.

That may very well be the case. It just seems like they’re running $10.5k-$12k in today’s market

Originally I was going to ask for 12k the original cost for the rifle 20 years ago. 1 successful hunt 12 rounds later and just sitting in a safe waiting for the next hunter.

That is very reasonable and fair. Congratulations on your elephant and good luck with the sale!

Thanks

At $9500, I'll take two!

It only goes for $15K new so this is not an unexpected price used.
I don’t think the responses to this thread are fair. @Barton Stone may be new here but that does not mean he is a scammer.
