The OP mentioned there is not much action on the used market. I take this to mean not much where he lives but if he is willing to drive an hr or two to get the item then he will find much more available.
I had to drive one and a half hrs one way to get my Gibraltar rack, which new would have been closed to $1500 and I only paid $250. Also check your local music stores for open box deals when available.
My Roland TD27 was on sale for $1500 at the local GC because it was the display kit (which lucky for me it was barely touched and came with all 3 digital pads so technically that should have gone for about twice that much. The 7 piece kit in my picture was posted in FB for $350, came with all drums, a snare bag, a Yamaha direct drive single pedal, a Tama hi hat stand, 2 crash stands, all new heads, all still in good condition old heads. I felt bad and offered the guy more $$ but he told me that he had posted that price so that was how much he was going to take. so yes patience will pay big time.
