Can't really tell much from the pic, but twenty bucks is a bargain for just about any reasonably well-built drum in functional shape. I mean, drum heads alone cost more than that.

If you're interested in more info on your drum, can you post the model number and some pics that show more of the drum?

That snare likely is worth closer to 100, maybe more. Let's see more of it. Most chrome snares today are not worth a crap, and are called student models for a reason. They are very easy to spot, just looking cheap all over. Your Yamaha is likely not a beginner drum, and more than likely an intermediate.

Are these good enough?

Yamaha made in Japan, looks like this:

So you know what it is worth now. If you choose to sell it to an entrepreneur for less, at least you'll be going into it eyes wide open.

The one Pounder found sold for $99. This one was listed on eBay for $50 with no bids. If I was selling a student model Yamaha like yours, I'd probably take $50 and wouldn't expect more than $100.

Thank you both so much, I was unsure of what to charge, I appreciate your honesty, now I just have to find another buyer! lol

I'd go $80 on it, here's why. With all due respect, Skydog, the example auction you show featured one low-res picture, didn't mention where the drum was made, and stated it was a student snare drum.

With this limited description I wouldn't bid on that either because I don't really even know what I'm bidding on. That could be made in Indonesia, and YES it makes a difference.

The Yamaha drum in the auction link I put there is identical to the one you have been offered $20 for. It is a well-known fact that eBay buyers like to know what they're paying money for. True, the drum isn't a rare collectible but it has value and even a $50 price tag would be wholesale for it. I wouldn't pay $50 for it but I'm not looking for one.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

Agreed -- presentation means a lot. Good presentation helps to remove doubt in potential buyers' minds and can lead to higher selling prices. That said, it is still a student model snare drum. When I said I'd take $50 for it, I just meant that as the low end of the price range from the seller's perspective. In other words, I wouldn't expect to receive less than $50 for it.

If it was a 6 lugger I'd probably agree about the "student" connotation. But I've seen Ludwig Supras in a student kit just like that go for $300 so the "student" term is only going to get a wink at a price reduction.
