Subject: Re: [Simmons Drums] New eBay Crazy $ - SDS7 edition

So difficult to say really ...

I'm tempted to tell you whatever people will be ok to pay for.
If it's me ... not as much as you could expect for many reasons.
If it's someone first Simmons kit probably more...
If it's a wealthy & crazy collector...who knows what price it can reach.

An SDS7 stays an SDS7 ... the most unreliable Simmons ever. which means
something, as Simmons's force never has been reliability.
& again we're talking about a 25 years old machine wich means first changing all
capacitors (lifetime is in the red zone ! )

After if it's full loaded you have at least the price of 12 modules inside...

When you say "hand built" ... Ok but what are the brought functions or "Specs"
with it ?
What is the cosmetic state ? amount of hours it's been used ??? state of the
pads ?
did it tour or stayed in studio ?

& so on ... But for me all that parameters should define the Real price & not
the affective or psychologic (sometimes "mental" ) one . ;-)
Like a car quote in fact..

Let us know...
Patrice.
