You'd best keep a good close eye on them, and bring a wheel barrow full, as those get up and run when they go on sale. Likely to go close to, if not over 1000 and that is USD

What are they priced at,at this time?...Is the snare a match,and is that a 6 lug bass drum?...overall condition is????
no the snare's not a match, looks like a 60's pearl, currently it's at $50 nz and it's reserve has been met, but it's still got a week to run so it's definitely gona collect some bids along the way. Yep six lug bass drum, doesn't have serial numbers

By what i can see in the photo.I would say late 1967-69 maybe 1970..By the tom mount the badges and the bass drum cymbal arm mount ..That's my best guess..Mikey
I would put those late sixties early 70's ,yamaha did transition from luan and blended shells to birch at some point I believe.Here in the u.s. they were selling two lines by 1976/77 one made of falkatta,the other birch which were professional drums that turned into the recording custom.In the u.s. MIJ stencil kits are going for 150.00 350.00 depending on condition,I see the yamahas as better made kits,but 400.00 to 700.00 I think is more accurate on what they would bring at best IMO in this economy.That being said I hear that they sound good,and are sturdy and playable by modern standards,and they have some great wraps with a great vibe.
well someone got themselves a bargain, this went for $440 nz dollars which is about $315 US.
