Technically not true. If it said evaluate vintage drums, get an appraisal...then I could see that. The forum is supposed to be about general knowledge of vintage drums....what finishes were available, what's the correct hardware, when was it made, etc. Valuing them is a whole other ball game. Yes it happens to coincide with the hobby, but it is not the end all be all of it either.It just seems since the economy tanked, everyone wants to make a quick buck on something that they have no clue about, so they come here and ask questions to use to their advantage. Well....why not use the answers to our advantage? Offer an appraisal service on the forum, but CHARGE for it. Give the fees to David the webmaster towards the upkeep of the site.
