Seeing that the seller is a retail music store, I can understand the asking price. However, the reality is that the kit is way overpriced and the store is just testing the waters. There aren't many buyers who also want the cymbals, so that price needs to be factored in. Finally, the store can't afford the real estate to keep this kit up indefinitely, so the price will come down. Bottom line, at least for my thoughts, is that they will be open to negotiating a fair price once the kit has been in the store for some time. We'll see what happens!
