Is there any reputable place that sells expando drums for $50 or less per drum? I need an 8x3 but they're $75+ even at rio grande. Amazon has some for $45 but the seller has had some bad reviews on their expandos.
Anyone here with 1-2 used ones that they'd like to sell or trade for rough?

I'm in the same boat. Need 8" expando's, but can't afford 6 of them at once. I've got a pile of the 8" bump wheels, but hate to go back to using them.

captbob yeah I've seen all those. Thanks. Cheaper than $50 tho with shipping. Ugh probably not going to happen. I'd be willing to trade all the extra stone wheels and tools for some too. PM me is anyone is interested and I'll take a pic of all the extra stuff I have.

For 60 bucks with free shipping, I'd spring for the new drums. Old drums wear out (sounds like Don knows about that - maybe he would part with his old drums if you're not picky?) due to age and heat so you may end up getting something with really short life left to it. I've probably got used drums somewhere out there, but I wouldn't trade or sell them because I can't say if they are any good anymore.

Just as I suspected on the $60.00 drums. Chinese made junk, shipping from China. I've heard way too many nightmare stories about the cheap Chinese wheels.

Good catch Don. I didn't even really look at the listings that long to see that. My drums all have metal centers, not rubber like those two listings.
Guess there ain't much of quality for cheap now-a-days.

Guess I'll just buy the expensive drums a couple at a time. At least I'll know I'm getting good quality drums. Now if only I could find another 6 wide hoods for 8" Poly arbors.
