They seller is asking $150 for the kit with hi hats +stand (they looks like zildjian a's) older pearl bass pedal.
Can you post the rest of those pix?Jumping2J
The best part of this statement is ASKING. Offer him 75, and let him work you up. Go over there cash in pocket, try to find out how many calls or especially visits he has had, and how long they have been up for sale. If he shares that info, use it to your advantage.
I am a salesman and the more info I have, the more ammo I have and can figure out a way to use it to my advantage. If they have been for sale for a while, he likely will take the 75. Make sure you have all denominations of bills so you can only show 75. If there have been no actual faces, then you are at the absolute advantage because you are the only one that is showing REAL interest, not an email storm. I NEVER do the email storm if it is something I am fairly certain I can get at a bargain price because I am the first and possibly only face he has seen. I do not discuss any terms of buying until I am in front of the seller.
When you do the test drive, don't show all your chops. Remember, these are MIJ and MIT so likely the seller is devoid of tuning skills and the heads look shot (and the floor tom looks like a 2 ply, so will sound flat, more than likely) so they will sound like poo. Take your key and do a quick tune and play lightly, then whack 'em good, but don't let on that you are a vintage drum buff, unless he thinks he knows more about them than you, and then maybe let on that an internationally recognized expert or two on MIJ drums have already looked over what we can see and have blessed them for 75-100....I would trump him on the missing original wrap as your reason for the discounted offer. Let us know what the pies turn out to be.
