Ask the list if someone is interested, we tend to cover at least 50% of the
bidders on simmons stuff on ebay... ;)
If you sell in Europe you normally get better payed but then shipping is a
little messier...

Graham have had a set listed at 250 USD or so... I think that's reasonable
in the states... Here in Europe they change hands at 300-700 euro depending
on cosmetical condition, hihat/cymbal cards etc.

Re: [Simmons Drums] Selling SDS 5 Brain and Bass Pad

I decided to take Jesper's advice and offer these two items on this
list first. The SDS 5 brain I don't like I can part with for less than
USD $200. It's in great shape, all the knobs are there but two of the
notched knob caps are missing. The bad pad (black) I think I can let
go for USD $50. That's in good shape too, there are some marks from
single and double beaters on the playing side but the front is unmarked
and still has the Simmons decal intact and comes with both leg spurs.
I will take PayPal payments only. Anyone interested can contact me on
or off list. Thanks.

Michael
