I have found yet another crappy deal Chewie:
This kit looks to be in very good condition, except from the fact that the wrap looks very fishy to me..
Anyway, would you buy that kit? what would you pay for it?
Looks like 6 ply toms. There's also a Yamaha Recording Custom tom there. Not bad stuff.
So this puts it somewhere in the late 70's - 80's right? and what about this wrap? I only assumend it's not orignal, but what do you say? The guy is asking for an unreal price but he's also been trying to sell them for almost a year now, so I would like to make him a justified offer, any suggestions?
Yes. Late 70's to mid 80's-ish. They might actually be 4 ply (people keep forgetting about those). What is his price? What does it include in the picture? blah blah blah.
It says it includes all in the pic.. price... 1400euros... close to 1900usd :Snow Flake:
NO!!! No way would I pay that much for this kit. It's not just high...
It's FREAKIN' high!
Stay very far away from this one.
Dang. I can't believe anyone would have the Sumo Dude to charge that much. sheesh.
Yep, that's why I dindn't mention the price in the first post :))
But I just think the man might have gotten desperate in the meantime and maybe if I talk him down, explain myself a bit, maybe I would get to a good deal. I am sure he'll never sell it for that much, not in this country anyway, so if I make him an offer maybe he'll call me back in a few days or weeks and aks if still intersted you know :P
But again, what's with the wrap? is that original?
The wrap does not look original and in fact, it looks a lot like the *wrap* that the guy on eBay sells. Another member here, Poppy, used this wrap to cover a child size kit. The wrap *looks* great, but it's been discussed and agreed upon that it won't hold up as well as a standard drum wrap.
I'm no Ludwig expert, but I'm learning a lot (restoring a 70's Luddy kit currently) so take my advice with as much weight as you see fit. Considering the re-wrap and the fact that these are 4 or 6 ply and less collectable, I would place a value of around $400.00 US for it. $1900.00 is completely insane.
The cymbal looks less than desirable and the extra Yamaha tom, while nice, doesn't really add much additional value to the kit, IMHO.
