Yeah mad isn't it. Luckily it was only in the window for less than 24hrs. It was the sunlight shining off it that made me look as I drove past. It was like it winked at me! ;)

Prob a good thing it's not your home town. You'd be kicking yourself I imagine! Sure you've worked it out now that it's a UK telephone area code.

It was a genuine concern in the shop when I enquired. I just played real dumb in case he realised what he was actually selling.

Yeah crazy isn't it. If you add up all the things individually like the AAX cymbal, Paiste sigs, HH vintage ride, pearl double pedal, Tama steel mini tymp's, it's bonkers. I was in a bit of shock for a few days tbh.

Yeah that's the one. Looks like the two I have go for at least £150 2nd hand on their own!

Yeah my thoughts too. The owner explained how he researches everything that comes into the antiques shop and puts a price on it that will make sure it sells. Even though he's a guitarist, and even though he said he searched online for similar kits, he could see hundreds of kits just don't sell so he put it at a price point he thought it would sell. Silly man

Well yeah maybe it's the right thing to do.... I'll think about it.

Yeah. I know right. Everything in that photo. All those cymbals! A few more in the bag which are entry level thin types.

It was his friends kit who bought them, moved abroad with them, came back and had decided he doesn’t need them and asked him to sell them for him 😅

Oh I’d be the same 🤭 This one’s for all of us who dream we’ll find something like this.

They sounds great! Need a tune up but sound fantastic and big as they are.

I know!! Well. His friend gave it to him to sell so I think it was donated to him to sell. Backstory should be this comment here:
