jp. your kit the way it sits as it is now, you'd be better off to sale the Rogers powertone seperately from the WFL kit since it doesn't belong with it to start with. your kit with the 3 drums and the issues it has, the hardware and the cheap zildjian ZBT's, would fetch probably $1200.00 the snare drum will off set this some also you have the sizes wrong the floor tom would be a 16x16" and the mounted tom is a 9x13". A trade for a 70's Lp? you would have to pony up some cash for one they sale in the $3000.00+ range your kit isn't no where close to that. I'm a huge WFL fan I own 3 kits, So not trying to short change you just giving you the truth.

you are definitely right on the sizes and i appreciate your input , to value it i was only going on ebay auctions i have been watching daily over the last 8 months or so !!! some sold and some with no bids at all and taking an average . none of those kits sold with cymbals at all or stands so i figured mine worth more , since the stands alone are over 100 a piece in most auctions . i also understand Ebay is not the most accurate place to value things from but sold auctions are just that and if something sells a bunch of times on ebay for a certain amount i'm sure i can get the same amount for a very similar item!! and mid 70's les pauls are available way under 3k as well i have passed on at least a half dozen in the last year that i could have bought under 1800.00 for one reason or another . if i'm ponying up cash i am specifically looking for a 75 0r 76 tobacco burst deluxe with nickel hardware instead of the gold or a 79 or 80 silverburst only but on trade i would be more open to whatever in those years . again i appreciate your input and mean no disrespect in bantering back but i'm not sure why a kit with less parts and some no where near period correct parts sells for at least 1500 on ebay but mine is only worth 12 , hell i paid 50 each for the WFL speedking pedals instead of just using the ludwig script pedals i had here cause i figured it meant something to someone!! i wish i still had all of the speedking pedals i cut up to make throttle pedals in hot rods and floorboards for custom motorcycles . i just bought the cheap cymbals so as it sits here it is playable but i wasn't looking to add to the value of the kit with the brass.

is there a solid go to guide out there anywhere that has pricing on these old kits!!!

jp, yeah it would be great to have a source of pricing as to say something like Vintage Guitar Magazine does in every Issue with their pricing guide! And yeah your correct on the Lp pricing I was just using the high side also. On the pricing of the WFL kit They are your drums and you can of course ask whatever you see fit for them. the 1400 cymbal stands do bring in the $100.00 range that's correct, the hihat stand depending on which model it is can bring in the $100.00 + range, the WFl speed king commands no higher or lower price than the ludwig foot board model. the replacement rim strip will be a major pain to match to the color of the drums. but there are only 3 drums, and the hardware, sale the snare separate and the ZBT's seperately. this is a tough market now. you can look in the for sale section here on the forum there are similar kits their now for sale look at their pricing. hope this helps good luck.

A heckuva first post.

You might consider setting a price and see if you have any takers, keeping in mind where you are.... a vintage drum forum with a lot of history/price-wise members.
