Some VERY nice stuff. Some of the very nicest vintage gear I've ever seen, in fact. Prices are extremely high-end. But, if you want a specific item that you have been looking for, you might not mind paying the extra money. Different strokes for different folks. Some people find the high prices to be insulting and other people have spoken of poor communication with the owner. I have not had any personal experience with this store, myself, however. I definitely enjoy looking at the pictures of the stuff they sell! I once saw an old Premier bop kit -all matched and with all original hardware and it was in a kind of "tiger's eye" finish. I was actually considering bidding on it, but the auction ended early for some reason -probably a very high offer. Oh well! Maybe next lifetime!Mister T

A. They don't EVER answer their phone...NEVER EVER.
B. They don't EVER respond to email...NEVER EVER.
I wouldn't buy from them unless I was standing in their store with the item in my hand. But then you have to make an appt to get in the store according to their site.

Very true and I'm in the same state as them! Regular hours are coming soon, so I've been told....

I've ordered some stuff online/email/paypal and had no problems. Worked fine for me. Then again, I never had a question. I ordered, sent my money, got it, love it. I didn't have to speak to anyone. That's my positive experience.

[COLOR="DarkRed"]Stay away....Cherie Willoughby, although VERY knowledgeable about vintage stuff...is just...how shall I put it ?...a horrible business-person.
They never answer phones, never reply to e-mails in a timely fashion...and....I have heard horror stories (not 1 or 2, but over a dozen) about slow, slow, slow, slow shipping.
Did I mention slow ?
Also, the prices are just silly...especially in today's economy....

She does enjoy a rather shaky reputation. I got a lambswool beater from her that was quite expensive, and had to bug her a few times to get it shipped.

I'm her favorite! I'm her favorite! She treated me well. I ordered the stuff and she shipped it promptly. That makes me her favorite! Deal with it, you big jealous bunch of drum shopping bad boys.

In spite of all the stories I have read, on more than one site, I contacted her on an incorrect picture she had on ebay listing. She replied quickly and thanked me, and offered me 10% off if I bought it. Didn't need that item, did buy another listing next day, and she shipped for free as a thank you.
That's my only contact with her. So I'm 100%.
