I've tried this before... Often with good experience. But also, you 
might alert people originally not interested (it has happened).

Apart from Simmons and the EDP synths I zoom in on Realton's machines 
and when it comes to those I know the two people I might end up battling 
against the final seconds so we three try to be gentlemen and inform 
about our intentions. We even have our own little private mailinglist.

Last year I received a mail in response to a statement about a unit for 
sale and that guy replied in kind words that it wouldn't matter how much 
I was ready to pay 'cause he would win it. I stepped down, and he did. I 
can live with that, it was expensive and he plays for a living, I don't...

Also, I have most of the Simmons gear I "need". It's just the claptrap 
mk2 and bargains that are interesting I think.
