Prices

I have not said much in a while, but this Is been on my mind a lot .

When we use to pickup those kits for 700 and sold them for 11 or 12 ,

Now u see them at 2900 to 5 k .makes u wonder what did we do to warrant that much of a price increase

Is it that the over seas concern wiped us out , and there are None left , which makes the supply dried up and they leave us with the trash ?

Or is it that there hold up in some vault , waiting for the owners to pass on , and then they will be at a estate sale and it starts all again?

Did you sell your punctuation too? (Hard to read post)

More folks seem to be buying buying vintage, I suppose the good old "cheap drum set days" are in the past.

I recall turning down blue sparkle super classic kits because 150-200 bucks was too much!

I feel great when vintage drum prices go up. Why shouldn't they when vintage Fender and Gibson guitars do the same? The basic reason is the same -they aren't made anymore and (some) people are willing to pay extra for authentic and original stuff. They want a real piece of history as well as a working musical instrument. In fact, they even relic new guitars to try and make them look older! And guess what....They cost more than the brand new shiny versions! Go figure! There is some kind of intangible thing that comes with vintage instruments, in my opinion.

I'm glad I bought when the market was low. I'm still enjoying my stuff for now, but when the time comes to sell it off, it's not going to be any kind of bargain -not at all.

O-Lugs speaks the truth. As a manufacturer's representative for a leading guitar and amp manufacturer, one of my biggest competitors was always our own used products. Whatever your opinion of new "relic" versions of classic guitars and basses, I can tell you with certainty that those instruments are always great sellers. The people who like them can't get enough of them. As a guy who buys vintage drums for myself, of course I want to buy at a low price. Actually, I prefer and enjoy trading drums for drums. I, too, like it when prices of vintage drum gear increases. That adds more legitimacy for my addictive hobby.

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