It is 'Sold' for over 1900euro = $2550

If it was real, congrats to the buyer!

If it wasn't, I hope the buyer figured it out before he paid :p

Yes - I see it has ended - good buy for someone. I only saw this today otherwise I would have emailed my buddy in Poland to do everything he could to buy these.

Shocking to see what some nice pictures and a "too good to be true" deal can do to potential buyers. It amazes me that some members still think they missed out on a great deal ?!

People get completely blinded by these items that appear to be a once in a lifetime opportunity. Those scammers are counting exactly on that !!!

Nevertheless, only by reading the whole page and some common sense, this auction had at least 3 to 4 points that should have raised a warning flag.

Just be aware that Ebay and its "feedback" is not a 100% guarantee. Ebay ID's get hacked, stolen or bought. Just google "Ebay ID stolen" and you'll found out.

It's also very advisable to google the Ebay name if you're not sure.

Walk away when "bank-transfer" is the only payment method. (especially international)

Contact the seller upfront !

Last but not least, as stated above: "when a deal seems to good to be true",.. it usually is !!!

Just some good advice from somebody that lost a couple of nights sleep over a similar situation.

Things worked out OK in the end but I promised myself: "Never again".

I remember seeing tis kit. They are in seriously modified condition and should be banned from the vintage drum market....that said, as a really cool player's kit, they would be nice, however, I'd never give that kinda of jack for a messed up kit. (At the time of my writing, the bids were up to almost 2,000 euro)

BTW, this ended in July....why is the ad still visible? Are the Polish servers somehow different than in the

US? We can't see an ad more that 30 days.

LoLoLoLo European date notation is day/month/year so 07/10/2011 is the 7th of october 2011

convenient to know right?? ;)

Man, I'm batting .1000 today...can't get anything right!

I have no clue what that saying means but we all have our days ;)

Your input is still highly appreciated!!

"batting .1000" is a baseball term. It means we are hitting everything or missing everything that comes our way. It means we are doing very well, or sucking out loud.
