Over a hundred dollars for a toy drum?!!!! The Ed Thigpen sticks are way cool but they do not warrant the current price. That 'drum' is worth about $20. The auction is up to $118.00 and there are still three days to go!

Maybe it'll sell for $650.

Amateur night! Hey I got a bridge for you, (whoever is bidding on this thing...) cheap too!

Too many great drums to list here!

FYI,

I wouldn't pay that much for that drum, but I have sold several similar drums for over a hundred. I usually start them out at $50. That price is fairly reflective of what they sell for, actually.

Let's be serious....no one is going to buy that drum to play it. It's for historical reference or for decoration.

Looking at the other pictures of that drum...

The bonus is that it does have the stamped cursive Ludwig script logo. Many of them don't have it. Also, it appears there is a pair of old Ed Thigpen 8A sticks in the deal, too....??? The higher-than-usual price might reflect some sort of rare gem to a stick collector, too...? I'm not sure because I'm not a stick collector. Either way, those two things may be influencing the bidding.
