After hunting for something like 3 years, I bought this:

Poll:
1. Great deal, the last one I saw sold for $300
2. Hey, it's only money, who needs that dirty green stuff anyway
3. Awesome score, well done!
4. Searching for 3 years? It cost ONLY about 10 cents a day!

Good score. If you are happy with the deal you got it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.
Good things come to those who wait-congrats on the excellent score!

I waited 3 years for a club date floor tom, had to pay 475.00 for it but the search is over and my kit is complete. I don't regret the decision one bit. So I say, good score!
1920s-30s nickel and it still looks like that?? I'd say you paid too little. And yes, after 3 damn years I'd say it's worth every dime :)

Great condition, original nuts,screws,washers. That is a outstanding score!
Happy factor of a long sought after part found well below last known selling price. Priceless!!
Congrats,

I don't own any Leedy snares, so that strainer wouldn't be worth $20 to me, but if I owned a snare that needed that component, and I'd been waiting for 3-years to complete the drum, that strainer would be priceless to me, and I would have easily dropped the bucks you did. I think you paid a small price to resurrect a vintage snare back to life.
The way I look at it is like this: I would rather pony up and grab a rare item when it appears rather than hold out for a bargain. If you waited for 3 years for one to appear then good job grabbing that one.
It is only money.
You can walk around with $150.00 in your pocket for years and you still wouldn't have an og 1930's Leddy throw off.
Some things are worth more than the money the cost. :cool:
Well worth it for that drum!
Seller is Bruce Simpson...
He and I used to do trades 15-20 years ago over the phone...pre interweb...no pics.....
He would describe/I would describe....then send both the same day...
He sent me 12 Grestch RB drums (3 kits) for my 1940's Top Hat And Cane snare...
