NotDeaf Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Okay, I wasn’t born yesterday, maybe the day before. Why would a ten round, West Hurley Drum, that doesn’t work, sell for $355.00 was it a “real†ten round drum. I e-mailed the seller asking for internal pictures of the drum and I never received the e-mail. What’s so special about this drum that would drive the price to over $300.00???? West Hurley 10 Round Drum on eBay Once again, as always, thanks for helping a beginner out ….. Randy aka NotDeaf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deerslayer Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Thats one of the 39 round drums. That said, its still probably a little high priced. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giantpanda4 Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 As we all know now I was bidding (very conservatively) on this as well. I thought it was a 10 rounder, but the item said full 100% WWII drum, just has no gun to test it with! Anyway all 10 rounders would definitely say wind 4-6 clicks. Probably was a 39 rounder as mentioned. I would be a bit leary with this one, but I bet someone got a deal if it is a WWII! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 The Thompson it was with may have been of WWII vintage, but the drum is definitely a WH. Of course ebay sellers have to get creative with firearm accessories ads so as not be bounced off, but why the buyer wouldn't pony up another $100 for a WWII 50 round L drum can only be rationalized as part of the ever eroding ebay mystique.

Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 G.I.Jive, I had no idea what BigD was referring to until your post. I figured the location, New York, USA, was prominently displayed in the ad. BigD, Is it still moot on the point and price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 BigD, I was not aware of your strict guidelines for accepting and rejecting prices for WWII L drums. Now that I understand that a U.S. seller's WWII drum, priced at $525, whom you erroneously believed resided in Europe, and who has 2367 sales, yet with 37 negs, is considered an invalid reference. I didn't say you had to do business with him. I only offered his ad as a ready public example of a WWII drum price. But since you would enthusiastically pay $350 for WH drums, when for the price of two of those, you could get any type WWII drum in primo condition, any day of the week, and twice on Sunday, you are correct, this subject matter is moot for you.

OK Ya got me Arty the internet overflows with 500 buck WWII drums.... I give up.... I still don't believe these are coming from NY but what can I say... Find a real dealer who is at least half way honest and I'll start buying them unused five hundred dollar drums and you get the 25 dollar finders fee....
