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.
