Jerseyrebel ( 1247) apparently wasn't listening in September 2008 when the market told him (by not buying his 1861 Abner D. Stevens listed with a starting price of $875; see 1861 Dated Snare Drum by A.D. Stevens, this blog, Sept. 6, 2008, that his starting price of $875 was too high.
So he's back now as jerseyrebel ( 1389), some 142 ratings later, with the same drum offered as eBay item no. 260562251973 and an even higher starting price of $975.
Uh, perhaps he's unaware of the recession?
