I was mainly interested in a Ludwig and Slingerland marching drum just for parts. He wanted 50 for each one and I figured I would pay more for that on ebay if I bought 16 lugs and a strainer for my upcoming projects. Plus I think he would take less than 50. Oh well good luck, I hope its not a waste of time.
He was saying 70 apiece for the marchers and three or four hundred for the Pearl set. All way too high. I have a nice Ludwig 10x14 and a 12x15 floor tom conversion (both in WMP) so my current marching needs are pretty well met (considering I haven't marched in 34 years). I also might be interested in them for parts if the price is reasonable. I think I paid $40 at Music Go Round for the marcher I have and it's in beautiful shape. No problem though, I drive through Rock Falls everyday on my way to and from work so it's not out of my way at all.
