That's the way sales should be done here ! Ditto on if I had the cash at half value it's a steal and John knows this that's all the more reason I could see the bs if it was at 3600 which is not hi for this drum ! Really sorry you have to sell I've been there done that too good luck on sale ...
+1 !!!Yes SirYes SirYes Sir
Something sounds fishy to me if a potential buyer has specifically asked for pics of the light connection and is ignored by the seller.I could see this kind of behavior on ebay, but on this forum, it's not acceptable.I wouldn't buy anything from this guy based on this.Sorry, but if you are going to be less than honest with this sale, what does that say about other items you may sell?

All due respect Sr., but you must spend at least a couple of years here on VDF before say something like that, especially to a respected member of our Forum.

John, I ask to see the lighting rig because I'm an interested buyer. It difficult to commit to a 2K purchase, when i can't seem to get photos of the areas i'm asking for. You seem quick to sign me off, yet i've been asking for the same thing since my first post.
I did to respond!
I told you... there's nothing to see but two long screws and light bulb fixture. Why do I have to take, process and post photos of two screws???
There are no extra holes for the bulb fixture. As I explained earlier, the bulb fixture was attached to one of the lugs inside the drum. When I removed the bulb fixture, I replaced the two long screws with matching shorter ones to hold on the tube lug. I can't explain it any better than that and I think posting a photo of two screws won't help the sale any. It's a rare bit of drum history. It's in really nice shape for its age and I have -all- the original parts that I swapped out so I could play it. (Clips, snares, the bulb rig.)
If you're still interested in the drum let me know. You should know there are others kicking the tires. Don't wait a whole long time to decide. These drums only come up for sale once in awhile and in the condition this one is in, even less.
I can't believe I actually have to hype a 20's black beauty with the early model wave pattern and the Pat. Pending strainer. How many of these can there be? I got this one because I didn't hesitate, I pulled the trigger and I've been happy about the purchase ever since.

[SIZE="3"][SIZE="4"]wow thats some customer service you offer... a serious buyer just wants a photo of the most questionable piece on the drum and you tell him you are not 'showing off the drum.. to educate him.' unbelievable [/SIZE][SIZE="5"]*how to blow a sale in 50 characters*[/SIZE][/SIZE]
It's two screws big mouth. How is a photo of two screws going to help the sale?
MYOB.

And more from the peanut gallery!
It's two screws. Photos of them will not help to educate anyone much less influence a decision to spend $2000 on a Black Beauty.
If you're not buying why post at all? How I word my ads should not be any of your business if you're not buying. I don't recall asking for your advice either.
Thanks anyhow...
John
I'm locking down this thread... commentators and critics are crawling out of the walls. I'm trying to sell a drum, not meet up to everybody else's expectations.
If you're interested in this drum, PM me. Serious inquiries only please.
John
PS - Harold, bless your heart brother, thanks for the support!
Ok, I think I have this drum sold. It will be going to a friend too which makes me feel especially good about selling the drum. It wasn't easy for me to part with it.
I have to stop and say a sincere thank you to my friends who are always there when I need them. Mikey Layton, Gary, Schmeggegie, Jerry, LarryZ, Harold and a couple of other guys who offered kind words and support privately. I love you guys. Thanks for always being there when I need you. It really means a lot to me.
VM2000 - You're a part of the reason why I don't post much anymore. You always go out of your way to try to bait me into an argument, or just to insult me. Guys like you and Johnny Ringo took all the fun out of it for me. I'm still here and I'm going to be here. My only satisfaction comes from knowing that it bothers the hell out of you that I'm here at all. Eat it!
