It can be quite entertaining at times when going through listings on craigslist which offer vintage drums for sale. Far too often the posted descriptions and asking prices seem to have little connection to the corresponding pics. Here's a perfect example: http://detroit.craigslist.org/mcb/msg/3025145759.html
Words or phrases that jumped out at me during my initial read: "amazing condition"; nice set to "tear apart some skins"; "green champagne sparkle design"; "will not last long".
Interesting to note that there was no mention of missing parts, non-original parts, extra holes in the shells, etc. I don't think the intent is to deceive. I believe that the respective seller at times doesn't have a clue what he or she is selling. Then again, as the saying goes, "one man's junk is another man's treasure!"
