Subject: SDS-1000 set

From: "Dan" <dtmaxwell1@...>
Date: 2007-02-07

Hello - I'm a new member and was hoping to find out what my set is
worth. It's Simmons SDS-1000 with 4 pads and the bass drum - I bought
it in 1989 and used it as a practice set for @ 2-3 years and have
stored it the rest of the time. It's in great shape functionally - all
the connections work with no noise or drop out - all the brain
functions work correctly. The pads themselves are in great shape on
the stick side, on the back side there are a few scratches.

I was hoping to get close to $300 US for it but haven't had much luck
locally (Washington DC). I was trying to avoid ebay but will probably
have to turn to it to make a sale.

Is my price way out of step with what these are worth? Or should I
stick with it and try new places to sell it?

Thanks for your help.
