The prices are pretty solid for new drums. Seriously, they kind of have to be. So you call a bud. He sells you 150 off. You post it. 47 other guys repost it. Call your bud. 150 off. Now no one can sell a drum at the price it should be sold at. And your bud, gets his ass busted... as well he should by the distributor. Still... no drums are selling any more. The price is a very fair price. If you want one.. pay the price. Don't eff it up for the rest of the world. Rogers hasn't been back long enough to withstand a collapse because some sellers don't abide by the agreement. I don't expect every one or even anyone to agree with that, but good business is good business. Price cutting is suicide, especially when the price is very competitive for the item being offered. And there is no reason to cut the price.

I agree with what you state. Maybe I should have been more clear. I’m waiting for an “open box” type of situation where it’s been played a little, like a demo, and they can’t sell it as new. They drop it $20-$25 or so. I’ve seen a few in the WMP like this, but like I said, I’m interested in Silver Sparkle. Maybe it’ll never come around, maybe it will....
Thanks!
Also note the seller only has a one 1 sale rating. Only one picture and hardly any description ....reeks of a scam to me. Or at least a ****ty person/seller. I would avoid this one.
