For Sale 2 Segment Snares Bubinga and Walnut / Zebra wood Last viewed: 1 hour ago

Loading...

As part of my drum collection liquidation, I have both of my segment snares listed on eBay.

One has a Rhythm King badge. The other doesn't have any badge but I am pretty sure that it is also a Rhythm King.

All the details and plenty of pictures are on the auctions...

Don't go by the prices on eBay. I have to include all the fees in the price. Also, if I have free shipping listed, I have the price pretty padded to cover my worst case scenario.

If you're interested, let me know and I'll give you the best price based on actual shipping costs to your location.

All I ask is that I break even on my drums. I figure if I get to own and play a drum and then sell it for what I paid for it, I did great. So, don't go by the prices on eBay.

Thanks

The Bubinga is sold. The walnut and Zebrawood is still available.

I find it odd that more people are not into segment and stave drums. IMO, both of these drums sounded better than my Super Gene Krupa single ply maple.

I have said it before that I only like to break even when I sell a drum. I'm not against a profit but it's hard to do sometimes. Take this drum for example....

I paid $225 for the Walnut/Zebrawood. Actually, I felt that was a very good price and I think the drum is worth every bit of that. And, I would gladly sell it for that. However, when you go to actually sell it, the scenario changes...

I usually like to ship my snares in a case so I have a Beato Pro 3 Case to include that costs about $25. I don't think shipping will be as much as $50 to most places but when I offer free shipping on eBay I always figure about $50 in case it's a cross-country ship. Ebay and Paypal fees are 13% so that's another $45. Add it all up and it comes to $345 (I have it listed for $399 but I'll drop it to $350 when I re-list it).

Funny how a price can go from $225 to $345 in a hurry. And, I still only get the $225. The third parties (shipping, eBay, etc) get a whopping $120 out of the deal.

So, if you live next door to me and walk over and pay cash (LOL) I can sell this drum for $225. Otherwise, I can go $225 plus actual shipping and the case (if you want it). Oh, yeah, and the Paypal 3%. Geeze... it adds up, no matter what. LOL

Thanks for looking.
