Slingerland 16x16 Pink sparkle floor tom

[MIKEY777]

Hi all, Don't know if this is allowed but wanted to point this out.
On auctionninja.com site they have a Rare Pink Sparkle 16"floor. Search drum to fine this bid is 50.00 with about 4 days to go...
I have nothing to do with this site. Just wanted to pass it on...

Here's the link to make it easier to find! Pickup only in Sheffield, MA. https://www.auctionninja.com/clearin...sa-991552.html

BTW, the text says it's a 20" drum!! Slingerland did offer 18" and 20" floor toms!

I bid on it, but was outbid quickly. I will follow the auction to the end to see where it goes.

Iam guessing maybe in the 400.00 range.. only if I didn't have one already..

Don't forget the 18% buyer's premium. Serial number suggests 1968.

I also noted the 18% buyer's premium. What does that mean? As to the date of the drum, I concur. Sparkling Pink Pearl was long gone by then, making this floor tom even more desirable and possibly pushing up the final bid. I'll be watching!

Essentially the buyer pays an additional 18% of the final bid price. For example, if final bid is $100.00 then buyer actually pays $118.00.

Sparkling Pink was still shown as late as the '67 catalog.

Interesting how that works!
