they pulled my snare drum at the last day of auction as the bids were climbing because it had the word champagne pearl, the spokes lady said it had pearl and champagne i said what champagne is a brand name i explained that's how Ludwig designated there colors and all i got was im sorry im sorry but ebay's policy on brand names then she said i was right when i asked for a copy of the transcript she said i have to talk to the legal dept.it sucks could of sold it to there was a lot of interest:(

April 2nd 1969 scarfed pink champagne holly wood and 65/66 downbeat snare, and , supra same year very minty kit old pies
66/67 downbeat with canister
Super 400 small round knob
1967 super classic obp





once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

Makes no sense. How can they rationalize that when I see auctions that have like five name brands in them? I.e. "Tama ludwig pearl Gretsch tension rod for drums"

I like Drums...
1963 Ludwig Downbeat Champagne Sparkle
1964 Leedy (Slingerland) Blue n Silver Duco
1964 Ludwig Club Date Sparkling Silver Pearl
1966 Ludwig Super Classic Sparkling Silver Pearl
1968 Gretsch round badge modern jazz orange stain
1972 Slingerland 85N Pop outfit Light Blue Pearl
1976 Ludwig Vistalite clear
1981 Gretsch SSB Gran Prix Rosewood
1987 Yamaha Turbo Tour Custom Mellow Yellow
1991 Pearl Export Ferrari Red

I don't think ebay does anything like that unless there has been a complaint. Someone has clicked on the " report item " button and they have swallowed someones line, likely.

Hopefully someone will email you as to what happened to your auction and at that point you two can do a deal "off of Ebay" so you get all of the money and Ebay gets nothing. What I used to do re: all that Gretsch BS a while back was to say "Etch-Gray" parts for sale...worked every time. Don't get mad, just get even!

Merry Xmas.

ebay did the exact same thing to me over using "black oyster pearl" to describe a Ludwig Downbeat BLACK OYSTER PEARL drum set. They said I can't use "pearl" as that is a drum company's name and the drums weren't made by that company!! It took me 3 days and several phone calls but they actually admitted they were wrong

(I posted this one here a few months ago) and tried to relist the ad but I told them don't bother as I relisted it myself and "thanks for your help"!
