Opinion questions for the drummers out there

You know who you are!
 
I'm about to sell the entire V-Drum/SPD-20 kit below (except for the drum throne which I just love).  I just broke down all of the parts, went out to eBay and got a basic idea of what each part is worth.  That said, I will NOT be using eBay, but will be selling locally on Craigslist.  That means I won't have to deal with shipping and I also won't have to lose 20+% of the net to eBay (which is about what I'm averaging lately since they take small listing fees, then 3% PayPal fees followed by 10% of the gross which includes whatever I get for shipping...).
 
Ok, enough yapping, here are the pictures of the kit followed by a chart of the prices I got off of eBay - the opinion questions will be right after those.
 

 

Ok, here are my questions:
 
1)  To sell the entire kit LOCALLY, as is, what should I ask for?  About half?  My goal is to move it quick without really screwing myself.
 
2)  Do you think I should sell the SPD-20 separately from the rest of the kit?  If so, same pricing questions - how much for each?
 
Thanks a lot!

Bump.

Scerially tho,
 
Ya, sell the SPD-20 separately. Can't say what price as we live in different economic worlds.
 
 

Check out the vdrums forums. I've bought some stuff there, and it's a pretty decent bunch.

"lose 20+% of the net to eBay (which is about what I'm averaging lately since they take small listing fees, then 3% PayPal fees followed by 10% of the gross which includes whatever I get for shipping...)."

Wow, really? I was just starting to set up an Ebay account so that I could sell off some old guitar and recording gear. Selling a guitar pick up for $25-35 hardly seems worth it if you are going to loose 33% of the sale.

Good call on separating the parts!
 
Looks like a friend will be buying the basic kit which I will deliver and setup for him tomorrow.
 
The SPD-20 by itself is much easier to sell and ship anyway.

Congrats craigb (ITYRN).

As someone who intends to eventually piece together a workable V-Drum kit (like start with the kick, snare, hats and one cymbal pad then work my way up) they really are kind of a decent modular sell unlike a real drum kit.
 
Two things I'm wondering though...
 
a) um... shouldn't there be kick pads? I thought the kicks were a pad unit.
 
b) Would Armorall damage V-Drum pads in any way? Because if I were selling those and it didn't I'd give those buggers a quick swipe to get then a little more prettified. From the V-Drum thingies I've handled seems like a little Armorall wouldn't hurt but IDK.

Armorall Shmarmorall
In post #11 - he sold the kit
In post #12 - he sold the SPD-20

Oh... I got confuzzled. I figured that was more than a basic kit (like... that's a lotta pads, yo even without the SP-20 or whatever).
 
Still curious about the kicks and the Armorall.

Beeps. I've got one of each. I'll post some pics when I get the chance.

The kicks use a "normal" pedal and beater (that's usable on any "real" drum set), but there's a small black part that goes behind the pedal that consists of a pad (for the beater to hit) and a connector so you can route it to the V-Drum brains.  You need to put the beaters in a little different so that the pedal range is correct.
 
As for cleaning, do NOT use ArmorAll or anything like it (the guys on the V-Drum forum were pretty insistent about that).  The thing to use is something called "303 Aerospace Protectant" which is easily available online.  Nothing else is recommended except using a damp cloth.  The mesh heads however, have a couple of tried-and-true cleaning methods.  You can actually take them off and put them in your dishwasher (on a gentle cycle) or carefully put them into a sink filled with warm water and a very mild detergent.

Beeps,
 
this is similar to the one I added to my set that already had a pedal and pad.

Except mine has a straight beater bar.
