Good people of VDF,
What would be a reasonable price to pay for a 70’s acrolite, with P85 throw-off, in good overall condition? I have seen many many advertised but don’t know what they actually sell for.
Thanks.
Josh
Ps I know I could look at ebay sold items, but I want to know what REASONABLE people think.
These have steadily gone up over the last few years. About 10 years ago you could find them around $100 or so.
Now, $150-$175 or so seems to be the going rate.
GC and Sam Ash usually have them for around $200, which is unrealistic.
See them regularly on CL for 150 in clean condition. probably offer a little less since they are plenty around.
I was lucky that my 70`s Acro came with my Ludwig Thermo kit...It`s an all around great sounding snare!!
But yes, the price have went up on these drums in the recent years...
Cheers
Thanks, all. A semi-local (an hour away) wants $150. Not really in the market for a snare, but if it was a steal, I would steal it.
Gonna pass. Too far to travel.

There is a "78" acro in nice condition on our local cl (Vancouver Canada) for $300, and a "68" acro in nice condition a couple scrapes, for $500!
Keystones will cost more than blue and olive badge Acros...
Cheers
Ya Canadian $ keystone Acrolites are beauties though, but $500?=$373 American
A member currently has a 68 Acro for sale here on the Forum for cheaper...
Cheers
