I have a Rosewood Gretsch drum set that I purchased in the mid 1980s. Probably not exactly vintage, but getting closer. They are gently used and in pristine condition. I started with a shell pack (22 inch bass, 12, 13 toms, 16 floor tom and metal snare). I added a 10 inch tom and 18 inch floor tom, so it is a 7 pc set. (still have Pearl hardware and mainly Paiste 3000 cymbals as well). So the thing is I now have discovered electronic drums and my wife is a whole lot happier with me banging on those versus my acoustic Gretsch set. I am debating whether I should sell them or just hang on to them anticipating an increase in future value. Based on my research it looks like they would fetch somewhere between $1000 and $1500, which isn't a whole lot more that I paid for them back in the day. I'm making a 1200 mile move across the country and not sure whether its worth moving them with me. Any advice?
Gretsch Drums - Keep Them or Sell Them?
I would keep them myself.

Keep them. If you questioning yourself, then you'll eventually regret yourself. Besides, no electricity + electronic drums = no drums. CryBaby
