Oh, I agree. It's really all the snare anyone will ever need. And I know people get teh bonarz for Keystones, or deep ones, or 10 lug ones etc. But yer average 70's P-85 Blue/Olive Acro is worth less than the strainer and the badge, and every kid who went into percussion in school band had one. We can rid the world of smallpox, but there's no way you could ever dry up the supply of these things.øøøøøøø wrote:True up to and including about 2 years ago.CaptainCrunch wrote: I paid $25 for my last Acro.

Don't pay more than $100 for one unless it's unbelievable mint.
For some reason people have started to go looking for them almost all at once lately and they've crept up in price a bit. Maybe the sagging economy will bring them back to earth.
$100 would be more than fair I think.
Either way, it's still a lot of snare drum for $100 or $150 in either case.
I know Tribi9 found his snare, and it will do everything a snare needs to do, but the $100 Acro thing is just a general rule (though I didn't factor in that he was using that fake Canadian money
). It's like Mexican Strats - yeah, they're worth about $300-$350 used, but there's no reason you shouldn't wait for that $200 one to show up.
