this weeks worst Ebay price

Re: this weeks worst Ebay price

You have got to be kidding me. Totally absurd. About $500 too much if you ask me. You could've gotten a SDSV or SDS7 for that kind of money.
Also, Michael - aren't most of those eproms your work? Are you getting a cut of the sale?
Sorry to vent but this is ridiculous.

I don't get a cut of the sale, but it was my fault (?) to publish the binaries at Simmonsmuseum. I have to live with it.
There are nearly 300 eprom sounds in my collection, my customers get a preview via mp3 and can order eproms for reasonable prices like 5 or 7 Euro each. If people want to have their custom sound on eprom, that is also no problem. I don't need to get rich with this business, I am already. ;-)

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. :)

It's a splendid service you do for all those too scared with electronics
to fix it themselves! :)

As mentioned before, I use my two SDS-1s for effect sounds, often
low-pitched glitsch-thingys. My favourite sounds comes from proms
salvaged out of old computers and printers. Older printers had all fonts
stored on proms. Juicy, crunchy and nice they sound when played in a
SDS-1. :D

Well ... as long as someone is ready to pay such a price for what it is.
When you know what an SDS1 does... Really...

What sort of of cult could it be then ?

(I loved mine so much that I gave it to a friend :)
Even giving it, I had the weird sensation to steal him. but Anyway...




I have a prototype suitcase with missing parts & destroyed foam...
I wonder how much it could reach.

:-D

What will it change ?

What did want the buyer ? Are you sure it's all about the Eproms ?

Some people just don't want to share and some just take all for
granted !
Some people here on the list share all their stuff and some don't
even bother !
So I'm absolutely with Michael and Wolfgang, that it's all a give an
take...

Not sure we're talking about the same aspects,
& to see any link with prices, sellers & buyers.

Of course Wolfgang & Michaël have the freedom to share or not what they want.

(God Bless you guys for everything you did (& still...) about or for that small
SImmons world :-)

That's keeping it alive !
