This stand come with some mij drums. The drums are not great at all but what do you think of this stand? I checked ebay completed listings and they only sell for 15/30 bucks so that tells me they are not worth much. But just wondered what the experts think.

Happy New Years!
Happy New Year, Jeff!
You've got the venerable model 804 high hat stand. Like the COB GK Sound King snare drum, this stand was included with 1000's of kits in the 60's and 70's. I use one with my 1967 Slingerland kit. My stand is like-new, with all original parts, except for a better woven strap in place of the leather strap. Even the lower cymbal cup is virtually like new!
While these are a-dime-a-dozen stand, I've seen some in excellent condition going for $100+ on eBay. Because there are so many, finding the ones still in good condition can be tough. If you don't need your stand, offer it up for sale here at a reasonable price and see what happens.

Mark, thanks for your help. I have not bought it, I was looking at a c/l add for some mij drums and this stand was with it. The guy is asking 264.00 for his gear, way too much. But thought I would investigate the Slingy stand. Here are more pics. One has another weird stand sitting next to a bass drum. The other is the badly faded BDP snare drum. He has rack and floor tom to go with it but still 264.00 is too much, unless these stands are worth something. And what about those hi hat cymbals, could they be anything good? Probably not.

Almost forgot, that silver sparkle kit is beautiful!
Thanks for the compliments on my kit!
Can't really tell about that stand next to the bass drum. Appears to be a high hat stand, but I'm not familiar with that foot board. Most likely MIJ, though.
That snare drum is badly faded! As for the high hat cymbals, difficult to tell, but, again, my guess is that they're very inexpensive cymbals. Then again, you never know without seeing them in person!
I honestly think the asking price is way too much. Maybe $125, but that's it.
