I still have the nice one but you didn't want to pay my very fair price. I am trying to help you.

everybody desparately needs that final piece to finish up their project but wants to pay pennies for it

I have the later 70's shell (5 ply or 6 ply, whatever those were). My assumption is you are not interested. It's been re-wrapped, but otherwise nice condition.

Mine was the one painted inside and out...I thought $60 was fair...maybe not.

60 is a steal in my opinion. this size is hard to find.

You want $125.00 for a shell that has no wrap or badge and has damage to the outside play. Plus Shipping. Personally I don't think that's a fair price.

$60.00 isn't the problem. It's a very fair price. It's the amount of work I would have to do to get the BLACK paint off especially the inside and I don't have to place to sand or strip it. That's why I passed.

Excuse me. $125.00 for a shell plus shipping that has no wrap or badge and has outside ply damage in more than 1 spot. You think that's a fair price????

It seems that we all have two prices we consider "fair" for any given piece: the price that we would be willing to pay for that piece if we were the buyer, and the price we would be willing to sell the piece for. I've seen this tendancy in many of the "What's this drum worth?" posts... Without knowing whether the poster is selling or considering buying the clean Supra he has pictured for example, the responses range from, "beautiful drum, don't let it go for less than $300" to "beautiful drum, ask the seller if he'll take $175 for it". Ultimately, what a piece is worth is what someone is willing to spend on it.
