Members WillyRay Posted February 21, 2009 Members Share Posted February 21, 2009 Hey gang, I sold my Premiers after some little problems with flake-ass buyers. Then, I'm on my way into my local M&P to buy the floor model Yamaha DTXploder... as I'm walkin' in, it's walkin' out. I went up to the rep. I'm on first name with all the guys there, but I still like to give them {censored} whenever I can. That's the kinda relationship we've got going on. I said, "What'd you get for it?" "Six." "SIX!? I was going to offer you four-fifty!" "FOUR-FIFTY?! That's a Yamaha DTXplorer, man." "Yeah, but it's the floor model, and the price on it NEW is seven. The floor model! Hell, my FOUR YEAR OLD has played on that kit! Who knows how much life it's got left in it!" "Well... I sold it for six." "Alright, alright... Good for you. Now... I've got this wad of cash in my pocket..." So, it turns out this guy, who's actually a hell of a good guy, for a salesman and a country drummer, has a used TD-6 that he's looking to unload. $700, rubber pads, upgraded mounts, and a little amp. Thoughts? /w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WillyRay Posted February 21, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 21, 2009 I'm checking ebay... I'm not seeing a td6 with all the pads and stuff... just seeing the module alone, but the module appears to be sitting right around the $350 range. An amp is probably $100, cheapest. that leaves $250 in the hardware... not sure this is my best-possible deal here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cearleywine Posted February 21, 2009 Members Share Posted February 21, 2009 at least it's an upgrade from the dtx. I thought they were supposed to come with mesh heads though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WillyRay Posted February 21, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 21, 2009 Yeah, I think this was purchased before mesh heads were standard on td-6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Carminemw Posted February 22, 2009 Members Share Posted February 22, 2009 Willy I think 700 is high...no big deal there IMO...hold the cash...there's better deals around the corner...JMO Times is tight and people are unloading all kinds of stuff at very lean prices...

Members pw2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Members Share Posted February 23, 2009 I have the td4. It sounds alot better than the td6,and is $100 new. The td6 had 2 different kits. If it is the one with all rubber pads,then it is not worth $700. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
