Byron Dickens Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Some yahoo on eBay is trying to sell a pair of SPL drumsticks for a starting bid of $17.50 + $11 shipping! https://www.ebay.com/itm/403720333532?hash=item5dff9b68dc:g:U They appear used. No details given as to whose grubby dick beaters have been on them that would make them worth money to a collector. They are $5 brand new at Guitar Center less than an hour away. https://www.guitarcenter.com/Sound-Percussion-Labs/Hickory-Drumsticks-Pair-Wood-7A-1274115051603.gc Some people's kids.

Sheens Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) perhaps Guitar Center has the Mexico/China and these are USA Proffesional, Custom Chop or Masterbuilder Edited June 17, 2022 by Sheens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slartabartfast Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 The problem with eBay auctions is that they are open to literally millions of bidders. That almost guarantees that some fool will be available to bid waaaay too much for something he has not done any comparison shopping for. The days when eBay was a place where you could find used goods for a really good price are pretty much gone--it is mostly "stores" these days.

Starship Krupa Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Wow, I see the auction ended with no bids and they just relisted it at the same starting price. One of the definitions of insanity.... BTW, I'm glad that you said "trying to sell." I've seen much confusion and blather stem from someone on vintage gear forums posting that "someone is selling...." and then the obligatory stream of outrage follows. They are not "selling" it, they only listed it. Thank you for making the important distinction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigb Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Big mistake! They should have listed it higher the next time. That way some mental midget will think "Whoa! I should have bid! I won't miss out this time!" 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron Dickens Posted June 26, 2022 Author Share Posted June 26, 2022 I wonder why my offer was rejected? I said I would be willing to give $3 if he threw in free shipping since the exact same sticks sell for $5 brand new in the package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
