I have an opportunity to purchase a four piece Ludwig kit in the bowling ball oyster blue pearl. 22, 12, 13, 16. Wrap seems to be in decent shape but has some dings and dents and the rims have some light rust. I am curious what you guys think a fair price would be. I have now had two of these oyster blue kits and loved both of them. I always seem to be a sucker for this finish, but I seem to be in the minority. I was thinking in the $500 range. There is a slight crack in one of the re-rings inside the bass drum. What say you?Vern
That is my all time favorite wrap from that decade. That and the bowling ball black oyster, which i once had and sold like the gargantuan fat head that i am..I bought mine used for $425 back in '94. I easily sold it for $800 5 years later. You're my lucky friend, got a steal and a half..Enjoy them..Those were some of Ludwig's best shells and are really sought after.. If you ever decide to sell them, you can easily get a cool $800-$1000, even with that crack !
