I'd like to offer some insight/rationale to the $2600 asking price, (be it right or wrong):
1) Included are 11 cymbal stands (incl 7 boom stands), hi hat stand, 2 snare stands, the rack tom stand and seat....all heavy duty....essentially these averaged out to approximately $31 each...= approximately $500 total.
2) Pearl Jupiter Snare, 3 Remo Roto Toms, (12", 14" & 16" NOT 6", 8" & 10") and 3 bass drum pedals = approximately $550 total.
3) 8 cymbals various sizes & case: = average cymbal price of $70 each = approximately $550 total.
The Total of #'s 1, 2 and 3 = $1600 which I felt was a conservative asking price if you break it down this way....as a package deal I just included everything for a total of $2600 which would of course include the 4 Gretsch drums with respective cases along w/the calzone case for accessories, (not that I would sell the 4 drums for the difference of $2600 - $1600...[SIZE="4"]that's why it's a package deal[/SIZE]). These are averages so please don't ask me for the average price on individual items of greater value.
I still feel, and it has been suggested here, that if I sold everything individually I would easily surpass the package price but that's not how I chose to go about this. I would prefer to deal with one individual who would pick up everything, (thus a package deal).
Anyway, that was my rationale.....I think if you look at it this way there shouldn't be any sticker shock....but then again I could be wrong !!!
