The original listing price was $43,999, now there is an $8,004 price drop; New Price$35,995

I haven't even listed anything that was remotely this expensive; but I have certainly over estimated values in my life. On a regular basis, even.

Would you even consider something like this?

As someone who genuinely doesn't have a clue who or why Donn Bennett's store is so revered, it seems to me has a lot of famous people's stuff and vastly overinflated pricing on absolutely everything? Am I missing something?

Does any of it ever sell?

Its an interesting "store concept" that seem to happen in every market (I used to be heavily into vintage VW's and there were sellers like this store) They just have everything at top dollar+ and it may take 5 years to sell things but eventually that one person with so much money in the bank that a 35k drum kit is pennies compared to the $500k watch they bought last week get into that market and buys it. I seen millionaire husbands buying 50k vw buses for £$200k+ at barret jackson auctions because wifey says it cute and has to have it!

If you ever meet the owners of the high priced establishments they usually have the same personality traits......

if any of us won the lottery i think all of us would soon have a $50k sonor collection built up in short time.
