Interesting to watch being I sold my matching snare with my kit. Haven't seen one up alone. 14 bids in 16 hours is kinda crazy.
Maybe I should have parted mine out.

Usually, snares OUT of the set, reach a better price.
Simply because:
1) People pay less for a snare, then for a snare AND a set,
2) More people collect snares, than sets.

So, IF it's hard to sell the set - offer the snare too.
If the set is easy to sell - part out the snare.

Very little people are after "matching snares" when buying a set today. Even if they do get it, they usually end up selling it to cover for some $$$....

Just my 2 cents, on the subject...

I used to think the golden rule was never sell the snare with the kit Goki. How I did it for years.
These days it's really hard to sell anything. If it's slow moving, best to offer the snare, a pizza and a free mower.

Been there, done that... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Kidding aside, in the last 2 years I always ended up selling for less, or throwing more in the box, than the price I wanted. But, that's how it goes now, I guess...

When I bought my Sonorlite kit, I tried (not too hard) to pass on purchasing the two snares that came with it: the LD547X and the LD400. I am so glad I bought them; they are both my favorite snare drums!

BTW, I hope to take some pics of some of my snare drums this weekend. I'll post here when I do.
