I'm interested in knowing what someone would be willing to pay (realistically) for a 6-piece Yamaha Stage Custom Advantage kit, 8/10/12/14/22 + matching wood snare (5.5x14). I'm thinking about selling my kit to help fund a vintage set of Ludwig Club Dates or SuperClassics... I usually check the Bay to gauge price points but these don't come up often.
My kit has never seen the outdoors and is in excellent condition; I bought it in early 2003. Any help would be appreciated.
What finish? Long or standard lugs? YESS Mounts? Do they have Noveau lugs?
A little more info would help.
Sorry, I know I left a lot of detail out...
It has the YESS mounts for all the toms, standard lugs. Color is that translucent, dark forest green (stain finish, not a wrap).
I would post a picture but everything I have is shot from a distance; I'll need to get it set up again and take pictures to sell it (they're all in drum bags at the moment).
This is the Yamaha spec page for my kit:
Ok, that helps. Is it a glossy or matte finish? Can you see the woodgrain through it?
I would think $500 would be at the very top of the "fair price" scale. I think around $400 would be a reasonable expectation.
Yes you can see the wood grain. Visually, it's a very nice looking set.
400-500 isn't bad; I remember, at the time, the bill being close to a G by the time I was leaving the store with them... Fortunately, I really didn't use them much over the years so they stayed in pretty much the condition I bought them in.
