Re: [Simmons Drums] bloody absurd

2010-02-20 by Patrice Jacquot

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 ...
