It was all a put-on. That's not my car. I just scabbed the picture off the net. I agree with you -it's a nice car!

Sick and twisted! Thanks for the laugh.

Ludwigs and Ferraris! Apples and oranges! Anyway certainly could find a better deal on eBay or elsewhere. Be happy you started the topic because there are people showing you where your drum can be found. Like that $500 set.. Sell the rest and you have a free drum, probably.

Oh yeah. They shifted gradually during the late 60s (think Standards) and into the mid 70s. 3 ply shells were mostly specks by then. Some weren't, thank goodness.

For the record, Zola coat was a Tama term. Luddy used a different paint and term.

I don't know if you're still interested, but I have a 13x9 blue osyter tom to sell. It's from the early 70s because on the blue/olive badge it hasn't any serial number. It sounds great and it's in great conditions!

The only problem is that I live in Italy...

Let me know!

EDIT: I checked the shipping cost from Italy to US and it's about 80$ (http://poste.it/resources/editoriali/postali/pdf/PCI_listino.pdf US is ZONA 6, prices here are in €, and weight in KG)

I think it's a combination of things that factor into extremely high Ebay asking prices. Most of which has already been mentioned. I would like to add this..... besides ridiculous Ebay/PayPal fees, high shipping costs in place by the 4 big shipping companies..... also consider the drum strippers. I sell on Ebay often. I also buy there. Now, I have some vintage drums that I would like to sell and get a little return on. Not over the top, but a small return for my time and effort that I put into clean up, fixing, and somewhat restoring these drums. I have to say that even though I've blocked MOST of the known culprits/strippers from purchasing my stuff, there are new folks every day waiting around to snatch up that mid 60's Rogers bass drum for the $400+ worth of parts that are on the thing. They lurk on ALL the forums too.... I refuse to let drums go just to see it stripped naked for the parts .One way besides blocking these people is to list your stuff above and beyond the value of the parts on the drum on the open market. Its getting out of hand. We all need parts but I make it a point to buy anything I might need from a somewhat safe source. This by no means is an explanation for the $400 ride tom but generally speaking, I think the vintage drum strippers play a big roll in the escalating out of hand prices on somewhat plentiful and not that rare drums. I may not always get my price on Ebay or the forums , but I will do my best to weed out the folks that have a total disregard for the instrument that I love. I don't buy from them, and I do my best not to let them get a hold of my stuff....kind of a catch 22 ... Paul

It seems to me Rogers owners are especially angry at "strippers" - at guess that is what I call spare part dealers.

The Rogers owners forum is full of threads to that point - how come?

I never ever met the same sentiment at the british forum of people selling Premier lugs and so on - which is nice for me, since I need spares from time to time, when I renovate kits.

Without them, I would have 5 non-functional kits lying around....
