Subject: Re: [Simmons Drums] SDSV Pricing

Hi,

sorry, Ididn't see that you want to sell your unit.
I noticed that if the price is greater than 1000€, the bidder do not purchase it. This unit dates from the 80s and today it's easy to play the same sound with a sampler.
It's not easy to find the right balance.

Hi,

I noticed that the price for SDSV increase since some years.
Before, it was possible to buy a fully operational unit about 500€. The only thing that changed the price was a special card like cymbal or hi-hat!
The SDSV is basic. There are not µprocessor and the assembling is solid. You can use it for many years to come.
If you need it and you thing the price seems reasonable, buy it.

I'm thinking about selling my SDSV. It's in excellent shape, and everything works.

Prices on eBay have ranged from $1,000 to $4,000.

What would a fair price be for this unit?

If anyone on the forum is interested, let me know. I'd rather sell it to someone who appreciates it's history and value.
