Confessions of a bottom feeder

I bought it for a buck forty three plus shipping. Why the hell not? Sometimes looking through the items with auctions about to end will lead to some bargain buys. This hi hat is complete, clean,and fully functional. It will be right at home with any of my Walberg & Auge drum sets--even with some other brands of my vintage drum sets.

I once put 8 Luddy Standard snare lugs on Feebay ,starting them at $0.01.

Guess what they sold for? CryBaby

I never hunt listings about to expire, but might start. Periodically, I find bargains in newly listed, buy it now. Some people have no idea what things are worth and throw out a low number.

Thanks

I have a snare that was literally played maybe 2 hours and thrown in the closet for 30 years, in immaculate condition, I paid 18.00 bucks for it and that in the height of our over-charged for shipping days, like 2 1/2 years ago when everyone was getting that monster "fuel surcharge"....

That is usually the second place I look for bargains. Misspellings are also an occasional fertile field--Zilgin, Rodgers, Swingerland, Lugwig, Pastie, base drum, snair drum, symbols, etc.
