I wouldn't buy any kit from a dude who doesn't put a carpet under the bass drum when taking photos of ANY kit , especially one like this if it is all cool as he says .

Not in this economy. (Shakes fist) G D economy!

Where did he get the number 80K sets produced ?

I think now this is my take on this ... any kit made after 1965 should be priced less do to production numbers but that's me

If it had the matching Jazz Festival snare with it I'm sure someone would pay that price sooner or later.

Too much.. A friend of mine sold his for $2800 Cdn, and it was in the same condition, and his was a '67 !

Sorry ,but there's NO way,.......you can determine that Ludwig made 80 K of those kits.Even Ludwig didn't keep those kind of records.That's dishonest,and mear speculation at best.Ludwig at the time was working 6 days a week ,with 24 hour shifts,but there is no way to determine that exact amount of drum sets produced in a certain finish.

Who ever gave you that info,,,,was just smoking in the shower

No idea where he would have got that figure but even if it were correct (and I highly doubt it) it's somewhat counter-intuitive to ask a high price for something and at the same time to mention that the item you're selling was made in huge numbers (and therefore potential customers would think they should be easy to find). Also weird to say they made 80,000 of these but almost all of them have been ruined....how could anyone possibly know that?

Definitely worth more than the same set in, say, WMP or Blue Sparkle, but that price is a bit of a stretch...and you could likely find one of the other 79,999 OBP sets for a lower price ;) .

Thanks guys for the reality check. Love this site.
