The only stuff i buy is stuff i can get for a deal.. havent gotten any insane deals, but some pretty good ones. I recently picked up a b/o supra off craigslist for 100 bucks(i put up an ad asking for an acrolite for 100, and a guy said he had the lm-400..). i snagged a firewood drum kit for $50 a couple months ago, but it came with a PILE of heavy duty hardware, some roto-toms, and a 70's-80's speedking.. i ended up making a couple hundred bucks off it through reselling AND kept most of the cymbal stands! I got another "pile" deal from craigslist of a bunch of old 60's-70's ludwig flat-base cymbal stands, a kinda broken 80's ludwig cymbal stand and a bunch of other crap for $30.. I ended up making a bunch of money off it, but I wish i'd put the flat-bases on ebay instead of craigslist, cause i saw one go for like $65 AFTER i already sold mine for 20 each:mad: I figured as long as i was making a profit.. i wish i had done more research on that one. Last one, a '79 ludwig black cortex 13" tom w/ cast rims and absolutely PERFECT condition for $10. I cant believe how immaculate this drum is! there are only a couple spots on the rims, but the rest is amazing.
