Topic: SCORE FOR CORY!

Rarely do I get to say I got a heck of a garage find!  This one was for Cory.
 
While scrolling on FB, an add popped up for "DRUMS $100" I did a quick scan of the pictures and jumped on it. it was up for 6 seconds!  just looking I could see well over $100 worth of items.

So here is a list of what I am keeping out of the lot (the rest im reselling) and i looked up new and used pricing for the stuff.  We ripped them off, but they were happy!
GC = Guitar center  RV = Reverb SW = Sweet Water

                                                      used                     new
Paiste 2002 crash 18”    GC      159 to 292             292 SW

Sabian HH medium ride 20”   160 to 300    415 gc

Remo Rototoms set               105GC - 160    379

Heavy duty boom stand (Tama)90                    109

4 standard stands    Varies by quality 20 to 75(vintage)     new- 25 ea mapex Tama 60 ea

High hats    45 used       Average 118 as low as 70 up to 200. new

and a whole bunch of shells we will put together and sell off for the 100 bucks and a box of other parts.

pretty darn happy!

You must feel guilty as hell? Yeh right. There's an American saying....never give a sucker an even break... which is true, cos if you hadn't got them someone else would have. At least with you they've gone to a good home. Great bargain hunting, well done.

My kids want a kit. I would like to buy an electronic kit, and I keep my eyes on Craigs List and eBay and Facebook trade. I haven't come across anything as awesome as what you found, though.

That is great, I have never thought of saying that before.  yet it will be better coming from someone other than myself.  So I told my buddy to call him that.  Its funny because his personality is nice but he also has a grumpy side, so calling him SONBEAM is like call a really big guy tiny. LOLOLOL
but here is your sunbeam big_smile and his Brother SonBeam1
