Thank you guys for the help. i am going to see if i can convince the seller to lower his price big time. hopefully he can arrang a time for me to check out this kit. My buddy fathertime may come with me to check out the kit. i do see a lot of things that are questionable. i think if the shells are in good shape and the snare is top notch i may buy the kit but my limit is $400.00
I'm a Slingerland lover and I like Satin Flame wraps. But, with all of the things that we already know need to be corrected, and some yet to be deiscovered flaws, $200 to $250 is tops of what I would pay.
good point, i really want to get my hands on it and inspect it. I wonder how that snare will clean up.
I know if i buy it, i will use the heck out the kit, but if i had to sell it would i get my money back? thats a question i usually ask myself.
just from the pictures i think the snare is worth about $200.00
the Bass is cool, i just really hope the wrap is tight or if it is a re-wrap...i dont know...damn. maybe $150.00
i'll keep you guys filled in on what i do. Sailing2
What i think on the set is 250.00-300.00 tops..the mounted tom and floor tom are re-wraps and don't match the snare and bass.The snare to me does not look like a re-wraped drum the grommet looks right the snare could be a one piece shell it has the R/K strainer on it it shows the butt side but i don't see the handle on the other side..Mikey
Resell value sometimes eludes me as a concern.
How long does it take to get X amount of dollars of use from a set of drums?
here's some more pics
Right,they moved to Niles in 59 or 60.
what really sucks about this kit is the badges are 50's but the wrap is 64+ I am really hoping that when i go out to check it out this weekend it is a re-wrap. it will suck because its not all original, but if the shells are straight i'll be okay with it, as long as the price is right.
i like the snare and the hardwear, i am just hoping the shells are in good shape and are not drilles like swiss cheese.
I know i am dreaming, but wouldnt it be cool to find out it was re-wraped and they didnt take off the original wrap.....I'll keep you guys updated.
