Going Out Of Business Sale!!!

Posts: 629 Threads: 45

Big Blue's got a bid and going to a new home. Hope there's a bidding war or maybe just a bidding skirmish if the buyer is on here.

Thanx Mark. I agree, but I'm surrounded by caring, generous people who are all bending over backwards to help me out and I am deeply grateful to them. Jeremy from W&A and Wayne, the new owner of Big Blue are two of the most decent and generous individuals I have met in a long time. Interacting with such classy guys is worth much more than money.

Hey, I only paid $600 bucks for Blue. The rest was sweat equity. I did good. I don't feel bad about the sale price at all. I made a 300%+ profit on it!

Thanks all for following along. Look for Big Blue (possibly if it can be arranged) at the upcoming Conn Drum Show in the W&A booth. If anybody attends, please stop by Jeremy's booth to see Big Blue in person.

Regards to all,

John

Too many great drums to list here!

Michael - Enjoy the show and enjoy Blue. Not to worry about me... the PD home-dialysis treatments I started have been helping immensely. I'm climbing out of a deep hole I was in physically, but I'm feeling better every day. Thank you all for the support and very kind thoughts. It really is deeply appreciated. I love you guys...
