I would like to apologize to the forum for not replying with haste concerning the sale of the three ELITES. We suffered the loss of a loved one and it has been difficult to be near the computer. I AM NOT FROM READING, PA and I have only one screen name. I have never sold on gunbroker or any other site. I purchased these ELITES as investment pieces. My listing is legit and there is no funny business going on. I can provide phone number and more pics to serious buyers if necessary.
** Serious buyers please PM **
Three for sale- Will divide- Never fired- blank warranty cards- still the way they were shipped to me-new in box with all the standard included items. These pieces are exquisite works of art and ingenuity.
** PRICE $2500 each **

Good luck with the sale.
If these sell, it will be a heck of a ROI
-
Yes, the guy from Reading, PA on gunbroker has been trying over a year to sell at this range.

UPDATED PRICE ** $2350 each **
Any takers?
-
Why cover serial numbers with the tags on all 3?
-
What makes an Elite worth so much?
-
Supply and demand but they are only worth the sold price, not the sales price. There is a lot of info on this forum that describes their refinements compared to a stock R9. To my knowledge they shoot the same as one off the shelf but P.T. Barnum said it best..........
-
The differance is (According to Maria) mostly cosmetic. (Polished sides) The original retail price on these was $1295. Or, $100 more than the Stealth model.

They are worth what someone is willing to pay for them.
-
Not really. Not setting the woods on fire in sales. ;D
-
Very true.
-
Yup, one can ask anything they wish. The guy from Reading PA has been on Gunbroker for a VERY long time asking this kind of money for his. Still for sale and probably been 1 or 2 years. Might be cheaper to send you stealth off to have the Sides polished though.

The guy from Reading, PA is asking $2900- Big difference in price. Also, I believe the difference between the ELITE and R9S is more than cosmetic. As far as polishing the slide on a regular stealth... That won't make it an ELITE. I guess for that matter you could paint the bezel on a Rolex to look green like a limited edition.
-
It is my understanding that the trigger on an Elite is somewhat more precise, and "machined" differently. Anyone with any additional knowledge? ???
-
Here it the production info: "The R9 STEALTH Elite has a Diamond Black DLC® coated slide with the sides sanded by hand to reveal the stainless silver color. The trigger and magazine release are glass-beaded to produce a satin look. The extractor is also hand-sanded like the sides of the slide, to further enhance the look of the gun."
-
As Maria (From Rohrbaugh) told me . all cosmetic. That was why I opted for a Stealth and not an elite. Being an Engineer I Lean towards form follows function. Figuring if I wished to get the other stuff done I could. Or one could just send the gun off to Robar and tell them to go at it :)

As they said on Hawaii 5-0..."B O O K 'E M - DANO!"
You were right on with your verbatim clarification on the trigger issue, I remember reading months ago...thanks.

Although the Elite is basically a Stealth with the flats of the Slide Polished along with a couple of other small parts being cleaned up and polished with no benefit to operation I do regret selling my Elite. It was an aesthically pleasing piece but I was leaving the country, I thought for one year to 18 months but unfortunately for health reasons I had to come home. They are still trying to figure out what is wrong with me. I hear my next test may be a bone marrow biopsy. Anyway, there was only so much room in my safety deposit box and I had to thin the load. Would I buy another, sure thing but not for the prices I have seen on GB or heard about otherwise. Its to bad. Maybe I will just send a Stealth off to Cogan, who knows.

Phil. Have you shot the Robar yet, or will it remain NIB? Sorry to hear of your health problems. Sure hope everything turns out fine.
