I see threads devoted to what your best score was from time to time and we all want to come across that special deal at yard sale or thrift store of course...
But what item have you overpaid for just because you had to have it?
It wasn't too, too much but I just picked up a pre serial # SBP Pioneer snare because I soooooo wanted it and got tired of waiting for the perfect deal, probably paid about $100 more than I ideally wanted to.
So fess up if you want, how have you helped the economy & the vintage drum market? :D
