Are you a real Alabama fan? Do you own a 16-foot long, 8-foot wide and 8-foot tall elephant? No? Then you aren’t a real Bama fan. A real Bama fan would get on Craigslist right now and buy the $3,500 elephant for sale in Oxford, Alabama.
Mallory, the seller, was full of information after I contacted her via email. I needed to know if it came pre-logo’d or if there were any Bama markings. Perhaps a Saban signature.
Hello. No it does not have any logos on it. The previous owner was a big Alabama fan and the name of the store was Bama Cellular, a Sprint store. He got sick and sold the elephant to another business in town. When I opened the Sprint store under another name I wanted the elephant. It is and was a landmark in the town. Everyone knew where the elephant statue was located. We are no longer in business and so I have no need for the elephant. It is not very heavy. It is hollow inside.
It had things in his feet that we anchored down into the concrete so that nobody could steal him. We did have some bad storms that blew him on his back side. It made some cosmetic damage on one side of his butt that is an easy fix. He also has a hook up where it looks like at one time someone hooked a hose pipe up to him and water shot out of his trunk. I have not tried it.
I can’t think of a better Christmas gift for the Bama fan on your buying list. Has it gotten harder to buy for dad because he has too many Bama shirts? Does your husband need to take his Bama tailgating to the next level? Get in touch with Mallory. She seems ready to make a deal.
