I am not making anything, nor I am trying to. And when she posts her inherited drums later this evening, you can see for yourself. I have ZERO involvement other than to help her get them posted with photos that will depict the drums as they are, not some made up studio shots. Once they are posted, she will set her own terms. PERIOD.

That's the worst type of person there..........pretending to help someone when in fact they are profiting from them.

some people wouldn't want them to do it for free?

i'm currently selling a whole bunch of my dads stuff on craigslist (guitar stuff)

just being a good son..not expecting anything out of it.

and he insists on giving me a piece of the pie.

i guess its just how you look at it..the type of person you are.

some people believe in rewarding others for their good deeds..others just use and abuse them.

its like when you get paid doing something you absolutely love..it feels so wrong but yet so right..

I don't think your dad's items really fit into this discussion, I mean, it is your dad afterall. What kind of person would take a kickback from his dad ?

why are you being such a schmoe? leave jonni alone. what did he ever do to you to warrant this negative attention? why would you do this? we are a bunch of guys and girls who love vintage drums. why would you come here to stir up garbage like this? it doesn't make sense.

its the same principal..he simply wont take "no" for an answer.

like i said..some people believe you should be rewarded for you knowledge/work.

its all in a persons perspective and you're entitled to your own as well!

but hassling Jonni when he's not doing anything wrong is a different story.

if he wants to help someone..let him!

Not here to stir anything, just making people realize that just because you have 100's of posts doesn't make you a vintage drum expert or God's answer to worldwide peace. I'm voicing my opinions here, same as you guys.

Look, not everyone in this world is a profiteer. Her father passed away 3 years ago. He instructed her to do one of two things, this is the one she did not want to do, but finding the suitable candidate in her town to donate them to was not happening, so she is selling them since no one in her family is a drummer, nor has any desire to continue storing them, and as he told her, get them in the hands of someone that will APPRECIATE them.

And what is it of your business what I choose to do with my time? I volunteer with many youth groups, I volunteer with the elderly, I drive disabled peolpe of all ages to doctors' appointments they would otherwise have to pay someone else for. I do many things that are considered a donation of time, money and energy, and I expect nothing in return.

What do you contribute to your, or any other, community?

Jonni i want to apologize if i caused you any stress over this.

i was just trying to stick up for you.

i guess i shouldn't have said anthing.

i'm sorry.

jonni, no worries. you keep doing the right thing. to give assistance to one is not a bad days work. focus on the heart, my man. when you do that, all the garbage will be washed down the sewer and what is left ... it's beautiful.

take care.

ludwiglover, you did nothing wrong. all is good. it's a circle of friends and the support is there. your heart is in the right place. good to have you among us.
