First off Welcome to the Forum! your kit is awesome a ludwig super classic kit, sell it here on the forum list it in the for sale section. take pics of the wooden drum inside the interior is probably white thats factory als what are the sizes, , the snare drum is a model 400 supraphonic it's a 5x14", this is a nice kit and desirable! this kit in Vgc condition $800.00 at least just the drums

In order to absolutely maximize your profit, and also to keep the kit intact, which we will rally for, you should take the time and expend the energy to clean the kit, at least on the surface. That snare could use nothing less that a lugs off deep cleaning, however it is not for the faint of heart. In order to deal with your concerns oif "packaging the whole package", we kind of, as a whole, in a group conscience sort of way, ask people to at least consider keeping the kit intact. It, from a historical point of view, is more valuable to the community this way. Anyone here that would buy the entire package will be more than understanding of what it takes to get the deal done. We trade and buy and sell amongst ourselves and in other venues and know better than anyone how it is done.

Nice Kit, BTW, and Welcome! the the addiction of vintage drums!

yea def clean it up.

but if you're looking to make the most $$$ i would part everything out.

sell the kit as a 3-piece (no snare) -$1000

snare (if cleaned) -$250

high-hat -$40

kick pedal-$40

throne-$50?

hats (depends on condition/weight/year-looks like they're 60's) -$100-150

and anything you else sell separately..any nut on this forum will tell you..we'll buy just about everything..from a lug to a badge.

it looks like the kit even has the original heads (could be a key selling feature)

you might even consider trying to sell the kit as a whole for around $2000?

if steve maxwell can get it..why can't you?

;)

good luck! (try this forum/craigslist for local pick-up only)

Yes, it appears even the skins are original, I was wondering if that was going to be value-added. Appears everything I have is marked Ludwig, I'm guessing it's 68? 69? They are very, very dirty -- I tried wiping gently with a towel and it appears to be only dust. Anyhow you are all so very helpful, thanks so much!

Oh, LudwigLover, if we part it out, what to do with the box of hardware? Thank you.

Hi.Nice kit.May i contact you?Thankyou.

Hi.May i contact you by email or phone about the drums?Thanks very much.

see if you can salvage any of the hardware and make a complete piece..and if you can sell it!

if not..trying selling just the whole box of hardware..someone on here will want it..

i'm actually currently looking for a Ludwig 1960's L-arm for the bass drum..if you got one of those you're looking to sell..let me know!

:)

What's the problem with packing and shipping the drums? If you don't want to do it yourself, have a service do it for you. If you really want to maximize your profit you need to expose them to the maximum number of potential buyers and as much as I hate ebay it is the best place to do that.

If it were me, I would sell the drums together as a kit and sell the individual pieces of hardware and cymbals seperately...

You can get just as much money selling the set locally, rather than on ebay. In fact I have a feeling you might be able to do even better locally. Sets like these are very rare in NY due to the fact that storage is sparse in the city. I bet that thing would be gone in a New York minute. List it for $1,600 without the cymbals and then sell the cymbals separately. Good luck!!
