Welcome!

Sounds like you have a mixed put together, unless the original owner liked the sound of the w/f bass and floor tom better tan the straight glass shells and ordered it that way. If it were straight glass shells, they are relatively valuable as a lot of people love those glass shells, however the toms are concert toms and will blow away any venue except a stadium or amphitheater. The concert toms are not high on the collectors lists these days. If they are in really good condition, I would say star at 400, if they are beat up, start at 250. Remember, it is a mixed kit, and that is not a good thing for the most part, and the toms are concert toms, so not as desirable as double heads.

Good luck, and if you really want a value that works, get us some decent pix, thhat way we can see what you are actually looking at. They could dogs for all we know and not worth the time to go look. Also, are any stands included? Cymbals? All tat will make a big difference in what you end up paying.

Thanks for your help.

I am the original owner and the set was sold to me by Pearl and marketed the way I bought it - with w/f bass and floor tom, chrome snare, and fiberglass concert toms.

My first post explained cymbals, stands, etc., but basically the set is complete except stand for Mark Tree. 5 Zildjian cymbals and 1 Paste, Hi-Hat cymbal stand, 2 floor cymbal stands, one cymbal stand attached to bass and one cymbal stand attached to concert tom stand. 6 of the concert toms are mounted on 3 dual floor stands and 2 toms are mounted on dual bass stand.

Attached is photo.
