Subject: Re: [Simmons Drums] bloody absurd

so let me throw this out there...I have an SDS-V, w/ 5 cards...stands and 6 pads that are in very good shape..black on black w riot surface and one red and one white SDS-V w/ rubber surface...do not have the bass pad but use and SDS-9 Bass pad instead...

So what would this be worth USA $$?...See to me..I would price very high due to shape of materials and rarity but to others they want a fire sale and there aint no way I would give it away for nothing!!!

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 ...
