Somebody should jump on these before it's too late :wink: (Not that they're not nice looking drums, to be sure, but...)

Yes but they have been customized with vintage handles, thats why the extra $3000.00.

These look like my very first set, exept in fiberglas. Bought in NYC for $150 in 1981. And yes, those are heavy duty custom handles. I use the same handles on my 1976 garage door.

Say it costs you five bucks worth of your time to list the item, and you relist the item every time the auction ends costing you another 5 bucks, you would only have to make a sale once in every 800 listings to break even or once every 799 to make a profit.

GB - only $800 for the pair...

...just FYI,
there are those "cheapos" for 600€ (which is about 800$):

Of course they cannot boast those flash handles, but I guess they are not too bad. :wink:
What do you think?
