Hi.
I have no George Way , but as I understaind, it was a great stuff back in the days.
And new GeoWay snare goes on ebay for 4-500$. Old one same or double much...
But this one, 180$ ????
Is something badly wrong with it?
Yes - it´s 6 lugs and few dings, - but anyway???Its a Jasper shell, aristorcrats lug... maple...Elkhart, GeoWay...
the auction has 13 hours to go. most serious bidders are probably waiting towards the end to bid.

I totally agree with Mike. In reality bidding at this time would only prove to be counter-productive. You'd get absolutely no benefit from it since the only function it would serve would be to raise the starting price.
if u have not bid yet u need to put a small bid in to be able to bid at last minute 1 click bid good luck

Just like you said: "6 lugs"...
Mike Curotto
Actually most George Way snare drums are 6 lugs, finding an 8 lugger is a real challenge. The bottom line is that GW drums just don't command that much especially in this economy. I'd be surprised if that drum hits over $350. I paid as much as $500 for a couple of my GW 6 luggers but the economy was booming back then. Even the 8 lug drums only fetch around $500. If you like GW drums, now is a good time to buy!
Hm ... may be its the "bottom of the line"... but probably still vell built snare , and I guess, well sounding too.
I would abolutley bid on it, if seller didndt say "[COLOR="Red"]Bidding is limited to the lower 48 States of America.[/COLOR] " :
For me it´s no problem thats it´s 6 lugs. I have play on several ( Not GW snares ), witch sound much much better than some other 8 or 10 lugs "cheap" snares.
And, as you said, it make sence to NOT bid until few minuts before the end,
Lets se what will happen. 180$ is cheap, from my point of view. Here in Sweden it would cost at least 5-600$ I guess
WOw, The drum sold for 183.50.That was a deal too me...Mikey
For posterity's sake......
