Fully agree Jesper,
every SImmons isn't Gold. we can't expect a great price of every single model released.
Not that simple. Otherwise buying & selling that brand could be a full time job in itself.

SDS-III is a different breed. Circa 200 units made and first commercial
product from Simmons. Stylish as hell, rare as hen's teeth and wanted
like few other analogue drum brains.
SDS-8 was a commercial success. Thousands were produced. It looked
boring, is common and often the poor man's entry to the analogue drum world.
Well, something like that anyway. :) I have owned three SDS-8's and sold
every one. I have a SDS-III and it sure stays here since it's so bloody
amazing!
