Any idea on the worth of these things......and where to sell such a thing?

To get more than 3,000 $ for a black beauty, it got to be in mint
condition, that mean perfect bearing edge, perfect strainer, and not
one tiny mark of rust, and plus it got to sound great,
not all those vintage drums sound great,
but for a more than good shape snare,expect more to get bettwen
700 and 1,000 $,
lot's of peoples ask for top $$$$ on thoses black beauty, but not all
of thoses peoples get what they ask as far as $$$$$

best of luck
