Black Beauty in Chi town

[lucky]

Ok, I know that a few on here saw this on Craigslist, too late to post the listing because its gone, but did anybody get it???

[lucky]

, nobody else but me saw it, early black beauty for $300 on Chicago Craigslist??
I guess we'll see when it comes up for sale again!

I got it they went down to $200 it really nice. Just kidding I saw it and flipped my lid. I sent a email but I'm sure one of a few things happened. Someone got it for a total steal, turned into a local biding war, or someone sent a more honest offer and got it. Or maybe seller got hip that it was worth way more after fifty emails in five minutes and pulled the add.

What was it?

Not sure of the year, not a great pic but a 20's or 30's Black Beauty for $300!!!!

It was a 23'-24" Ludwig deluxe model engraved snare. Gunmetal body,artgold hardware,missing a couple clips and rods but nice. HOWEVER, the seller said it belonged to his "unkl",might be "all gold,I dunno".Nobody is that stupid. I live in Chicago,and found the ad 12 minutes after it posted ! Had the $ in hand but didn't receive any response to "I'll take it" or receive a call. It is our general feeling that the seller was fishing for response,or the ad was a scam. Speaking of scams,today I informed Steve Ellis,(from PA.), that his beautiful Louie Belleson explosion kit (on ebay for $6000 ) was now posted on a California craigslist ad for $1800 ! Same pics,same description. Unfortunately,most of the time if it's too good to be true.............
