I think 150 would be OK for all those proms etc, but I agree, hence the 
sharing. Regarding the data on the proms I bet it's Michael who made it 
public, but the sounds aren't really his, are they?

Anyway, it's lovely presented and a studio/touring drummer might 
consider it a bargain... or it is just a stupid collector buying. :)

A friend sold his SDS-800 set a few weeks ago. He got 3500 SEK which is 
in the same ballpark, but that was including the original hardware, all 
pads in good shape (white) and the brain in a nice nick too. Swedish 
artist Robyn's tour drummer bought it so now we'll probably see more SDS 
nostalgia on the world's electro/pop club scenes...

My bid was 3000 but I stepped down considering I had to take it from 
Stockholm to my place... and I was just planning to resell it anyway. :)
