A Little Advice

For all you guys trying to sell drums.... learn to compromise with a potenial buyer.

For example, I had my Ludwig kit up for months trying to get a certain amount, I realized maybe I was a bit too high so I lowered the price a bit and compromised with the buyer, I got what I needed and took that money and went to a local drum shop and compromised with the owner and wound up getting two kits. Sure, I could have held out for a few dollars more, which may have taken another few months, by that time the drums at the drum shop would most likely had been sold and I would had lost out on a great deal.

Most people know that the economy is in the Toilet and you cannot expect to get what you could get in a thriving economy.

Don't get get all bent out of shape if someone offers you a little less than you want, it's all a matter of economics. Someday,(probably after the 2012 election), the economy will pick up and you will be able to get exactly what you want.Cool1

No political position endorsed here. But, wouldn't our lives be more pleasant if the folks we elected could rediscover the art of compromise the way some of we drum traders have learned to practice that art?

No matter how far you push the envelope, it is still stationery.

Well, you can go through life with blinders on if you like, but like it or not, it will take years before the economy picks up. Our el presidente has done a ton of damage. Hurting

Please....no politics. I am now sorry that I made a general non-politically skewed comment.

OK, no politics, but the economy is still in the Toilet and people can't expect to get what they would if the economy was good, that's all I meant.
