Hello,
I would like some opinions on the value of a kit that was for sale on ebay for months and never sold. I'm sure many have seen it.
It's a 4-pc with a 14x24 bass, 16x18 ft, 10x14 & 9x13;
3-ply shells with red silk wrap.
Hopefully the photos are still accessible. Any opinions on its value would be appreciated.
Looks like a nice vintage Ludwig kit!
BIG sizes, would have to find the right buyer.
Not an expert, but I'd say the $500 range, depending on the condition in person.
A kit like that can be cost prohibitive to ship, selling on eBay. Probably why it didn't sell.
Craigslist it, might have better luck.
In those sizes that would likely be a "Pro-Beat" minus the 16x16 that they normally had . The Big Beat outfit was 12/13/16/22. Not that I'm one to get all wrapped up in catalog names.
Looks like a cool set and Red Silk is a neat color.
Thanks, Schmegeggie. Ya, those are definitely rock sizes. I've never seen a red silk wrapped Ludwig for sale, but I'm not an expert at all. Maybe the red silk isn't a popular color.
Thanks K.O., based on the pics what do you think it's worth?
I never sell stuff and like to buy cheap so I'm not that in touch with the real market but I'd say these ought to be worth $500-$800 depending on condition. Nice "rock" sizes that you don't see everyday.
Considering a gold sparkle mint Hollywood is for sale for 900, on cl Chicago .
I think the lower number mite be right in this economy.
I agree with K.O. that looks to be a very nice kit.
This seems to be an unfair statement, but solid wraps just don't sell for very much money. White cortex, black cortex etc. sell for about 3/5ths what a oyster blue pearl or sparkle kit would sell for.
Clip mount makes me wonder if those are converted concert toms. Probably lowers the value although I can't say by how much.
It'd be a no-sale for me: the clip mount provides limited flexibility, even more so with a 24' bass drum.
