I think I paid 200-220 for my wmp pioneer. I just checked ebay and the last three sold for around 210 average as well..

Sold a Sky Blue Pearl Pioneer with nickel hardware for $299.00 not long ago. I guess the nickel hardware added a little bit of value. If you're not in a hurry you can stretch out yours to about $230.00 or so.

I recently acquired a similar drum (date stamped 1965) with case, stand and practice pad via my local Craigslist for considerably less. Of course the pictures were bad and I responded quickly. I would be very happy if its value is in the $200-230 range.

Mike is spot on with value.

I sold my red sparkle Ludwig Pioneer snare for $250 "buy it now" on eBay and it sold in under 24 hours!

When listing that drum,be sure to mention it's a Poineer model,with a 60's Keystone badge(not a wedge badge).the hardware looks chrome,and the wrap and interior look to be in very good condition.Whie marine pearl is a very common wrap,so that will keep the value down a bit.

I think Mike is pretty spot on at 200-220.Good luck.

Agree with the rest. Tried to sell on eBay for $250, identical to yours. No luck. Sold locally Craigs for $200 about a year ago.

Hey man I am right down the road from you in Raleigh.
