Subject: Re: [Simmons Drums] bloody absurd

ha ha Jesper...
it sounds stupid as ever...

the same way people are buying SDSV 200euros & selling them (or trying
to ) 800 or 1000 euros...
SDSIII for 1500 / 2000 euros....
The fashion you're talking about is in fact some people speculating on
the music world... & others proud of buying (!!!) thinking that if it
is expensive then it has something special...
or just wealthy collectors .... anyway...
I saw recently an EMu very cheap in adv, tryed too late so missed
it ,but found it again on ebay a week later , completely
dismantled... sold card by card ...

Like the US guy who bought Phil Collins SDSV, & sold it channel by
channel, (nearly screw by screw) after while...

I know a few guys like this in the Simmons world but also in the
Fairlight one & so on... I have some names if someone interested off
line ;-)
the worse is that some people are buying from them , very happy to be
one of the few people having this "privilege "...

Who is the idiot ? really... is it really a market law ? don't think
so ...
But it's obvious some guys want to be (a bit more) rich, pay their
taxes, or new synths :-)

I can tell you that Dave himself find all that so stupid ...
anyway ...
