[COLOR="DarkRed"]Original wraps ? About $900[/COLOR]

I'd have to disagree. There has been a SBP 70's hollywood in my area that can't even sell for $500. So, I'd say you could probably get around $450-$700.

These are 6 plys, right? If so, that makes them the same as my black cortex kit (size difference aside). Now of course, black is way more boring than this wrap, but I got my kit with an included 6.5" X 14" Supra for a mere $279.00 - But I was told it was an okay price here on the boards, not a great price. Why the big difference? Is it the wrap alone? Or the additional hardware?

Wouldn't a nice condition Supra in the 6.5" depth be worth around $200.00... which meant that I got the other 4 shells for around $79.00.

Don't mean to hijack, but I'm really confused - I thought I scored big time... did I or didn't I?

Thanks for indulging me :)

Those sure look like they have rerings. I think you might be mistaken.

Surely the quote was intended for the Supra alone?

Heck yes you scored!!

Upon an even closer inspection, you are correct sir. The B&O badges and the barely perceptible (to my eyes anyhow) shadows cast by the re-rings threw me off.

My apologies for jumping in here. They are indeed 3 plys and that makes them worth more, as does the very nice wrap.

Would anyone care to speculate on what this kit was worth 5 years ago (the one pictured, not mine)?

[COLOR="DarkRed"]I don't think the price/market value was much less 5 years ago than it is today...one can argue it may have been even been greater because 2004 was right in the middle of the [COLOR="Red"]Age of Conspicuous Consumption[/COLOR].

Now, just FYI...yes...your $279 for a 5-pc. 6-ply kit with snare included a few years ago WAS a steal[/COLOR]

It was actually purchased about 6 months ago (or less).

Cool - Thanks for making me feel better :)
