Members polarnewfie Posted June 29, 2009 Members Share Posted June 29, 2009 Can't believe I got these with one bid and 4 hours to go.Went to bed (although I set 500 as my bid ceiling). The economy must be in the $hitter because every year for the past 5, I got outbid each and every time I tried to get a pair. (ended up getting 15" mastersounds) Funny too that this was the first time I had enough cash to get them at pretty much any price and I didn't get anyone competing. Oh well, I'm not gonna complain. Woke up after the auction ended thinking I was either gonna pay a lot more than 200 or I lost them for more than 500. Couldn't believe my eyes when the bid stayed at 200. Now my Bonham set is completely finished. Only took me 27 years of buying and selling to piece together the sizes and brands. (never had a good enough job until now to really afford the correct stuff.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members CraKaJaX Posted June 29, 2009 Members Share Posted June 29, 2009 Glad it worked out for you. I let an 8" AAX Splash go for $41 last night. I forgot the auction was coming to an end.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot the auction was coming to an end.... {censored} happens. Others will popup. You're not the only one though. I let go a 10" Paiste Sig. splash for 30 dollars because I spent all my money on sticks. Bought about 10 pairs, then checked out a pawn shop. I came back the next day w/ borrowed money but it was gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LowPhreak Posted July 2, 2009 Members Share Posted July 2, 2009 Congrats on getting your set together, polarnewfie. It's a great time to buy used pies, but lousy if you have some you want to sell and expect reasonable prices for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members polarnewfie Posted July 2, 2009 Author Members Share Posted July 2, 2009 Yup, I am leery about selling my Zildjians. I have a mixed set that I love, a 15" A New Beat top, and an A custom Mastersound Bottom. They sound super, so I might just have to keep them. I have a thin 15" top that I might throw in if I sell em just to sweeten the pot. I have so many other 2002's that I just have to have the hats to keep it in line. I had 14" 2002 black labels but there is a difference in the 15"ers. I can't friggin wait to get these. The 'Bay is hot right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
