I'm with Mike and Tim on this one...The guy advertised the drum as a 'tricked-out' custom drum. It has the shell/body of a supraphonic, so I guess he's allowed to refer to it as a 'supra.' It is!The guy is not 'gouging' anybody with his asking price. I built one of these, he's in for way more than he got out. Do the math: strip chrome and polish aluminum shell, 10 heavy-duty tube lugs, the Ludwig P-86, etc. etc. etc.The guy lost money on the sale. Whoever bought it, has more in parts than he paid for the drum.Last... that guy did a really good job refurbing/customizing that old supra. I did one three years ago. Had a badly pitted 60's shell, I had it stripped, polished and overcoated. I bought ten chrome over brass tube lugs and added a NOS P-83. Not only was a drum destined for the scrap heap saved, but a really great sounding and looking drum took it's place.

I got $250. for mine. Nowhere near what I had invested in it. So... don't be so harsh on the guy. He was honest about what he was selling, and considering how much it cost him to create it, he took a loss at the price. The new buyer scored.John
