I think you did well Vern. That is a great kit in a cool wrap. You are correct about the market around the STL area. I never have much luck selling anything locally for what it's worth.
Just an ok score!! Early 70's Ludwigs in Bowling Blue finish plus Supra
Looks great. And you could always convert the 14" to a big fat snare.
Nice score. Love that Bowling Ball Oyster Blue, one of my favourite finishes.
Yes, I agree, not a bad price. The drums are really nice and the wrap is a good one.
Thank you!

Those look great. I guess for ebay I did ok and it was free shipping. Like most of you, I typically only buy if the deal is smoking. If I put these on my local Craigslist, I would only get $700 for them. The St. Louis market is very soft on drums these days.
THank Verminator, I really dig your kit! Had much time to play it yet?

1970/71? Ludwig Downbeat in Blue Oyster Pearl

Was that a BIN or a auction?
Nice set and 950 is a great price really, especially if that included the shipping! :)
Nice kit,I THINK YOU DID ALRIGHT,the supra looks like it is in nice condition,and for what it is worth the 6 ply drum matches well with the others,extra bonus if you turn it into a matching snare.
I like that 14" as a down tom with your 16" there's nothing wrong with those 6 ply drums. They sound great.

It was an auction with a start price of $950. I waited until 30 seconds left and then bid $950. I have not received them yet. UPS predicts I will get them on Monday. I cannot wait. I used to have this same finish a few years ago but in much worse shape. They sounded amazing and I regretted selling them almost immediately. My only concern is the wrap that is lifting. I am planning on gluing them down. Is there any reason that I should not do this? I was simply going to use some super glue. I am also excited about the supra as it appears to be all original.
