Could work.

In my experience it invites lowballs.

That kit is very nice, you shouldn't have any trouble selling it.

Wow! drumhack, what a refreshing assessment. And, take "notice", there are not many responses to your views. Not your fault, just a Nice bunch of guys right? :rolleyes:

I'll chime in because I like chiming in. I can't sell sh*&^%T these days on Craigslist, Ebay or this Forum. Nobody's buying unless they can get it for "dick"

All people want is me to email pictures. I price all my well kept drums and accessories very reasonable. It's a buyers market and the recession is still "emotionally effecting" people. Additionally, everyone's wife is threatening them with a divorce if they bring "one more god damn drum into this house, I don't give a sh&*^t about a round badge!!!!!!! LOL Clapping Happy2

I agree it is a buyers market and I think it will be this way for good. Disposable income has pretty much been absorbed by the crooks who run this country. There is no "getting better" from this recession. They have seen to it that the gas pump, insurance premiums, vehicles, taxes, food, etc. are sponging every bit of the American working man's "extra" money. Mission accomplished..... The guys who still have some money left know that deals are out there if they wait, and they will and do wait for that deal......This group of guys will be a dwindling number too as they are in an older demographic.

Have a wonderful evening!!!

Laser pinpoint precision, And my bud drumhack has once again nailed it, I have almost never been able to move one thing on this forum. In fact I tried to sale a very nice slingerland marcher for $65.00.No Interest, then tried to sale the shell and the zoomatic separately not one Inquiry.

I've now torn it down Into parts and have sold two pieces for $75.00 and still have most the parts left to sale! I won't waste my time any longer trying to sale them here. Not bitter or hostile, just as DrumHack has stated the obvious! Clapping Happy2

Drumhack you nailed it again. I couldn,t agree with you more. Well put. Its only gonna get a lot worst during this spring & summer. Sure am glad I,am a happy married man 27thlancer, and I do understand your point about Gretsch drums.

Heres to both of you: Tom

The people on this sight who have the money to buy only want it if it is in pretty near perfect condition. I have sold lots of bits and pieces here, even my old Slingy kit, but that took a whole lot of patience!

Lucky,in the short period I have been active on here, I have sold a lot of parts also .

Thanks Poppy,Kona,Ryan,Kevins,FatherTime,Ringo and whoever else I have forgot!

Could barely sell a thing on DFO!

Too many people on that site also.....

If you try to play "catch up" with the posts after being away for a few days on there,you might as well plan on spending 1-2 hrs reading ,just to get back into the loop.

Ok, Let me rephrase my original statement, so far my percentage of sales to No sales has been. 85% No sales to 15% sales! and to some other post this was very nice equippment.

for me it all down to the price. selling isn't the issue, it's the price.

i realize that the economy affects the averages prices of things but you can easily sell anything you want.

i can easily sell all my drum gear right now for a nickel and have no problem doing it but that's much less then i'm willing to take.

i think the best way to do it is to put it at a price that you feel comfortable getting for it and reflects the market value. maybe even a little bit higher. if you be patient for a while then maybe someone will buy for your asking price.

after a while of that you can either lower the price or start considering other offers that you got.

if none of the offers make you feel comfortable and you don't need the money at the time then i would just hang onto what i was trying to sell and try again at a later time.

so if you have something that does sell then you can either give it more time, lower the price, or just keep it. that's the name of the game. it is for me anyways.
