Buying a Supra? Last viewed: 4 hours ago

From zenstat

Are you talking about asking prices? You need to focus on just sold items. Asking prices are not the same as expected prices based on sold items. I used to track Supra prices as one way of getting a baseline comparison for prices of 602s and Sound Creations, but I haven't been recording them as much since I moved into sorting out old A and old K prices (as and Ks are taking too much time all on their own). The theory is that because Supras are plentiful the ups and downs of prices might correlate with ups and downs of the market for vintage drums and cymbals in general. Anyway, from my tracking data (based on 68 sales -- not asking prices)median expected price $230with half selling for between $178 and $294Price varies a lot with condition. This may be an overestimate in the current market because it includes data from earlier years. I should plot the change in price over the years, but then I should do a lot of plots given the many years of detailed data I've got. *sigh*

GREAT info, thanks...

I have one I am prepping for sale - not sure how much I will be asking yet - as I need to see how it looks after the clean/polish. It is a B/O badge approx. 1981.I should have it done in a week or so.

Let me know...

A Supra is a good drum to have in your arsenal. They're very versatile drums and can provide a wide tuning range.....if they're set up properly.

The head combination and snare wires are important, and can cost another $60 or more dollars, so try to find one that someone has already done that leg work on.

A $250 Supra is great! But if it needs those things, well you do the math, but at least consider it when buying.

Good luck!
