Translated, so may not make sense

Hi Hats - "14" superthin top, drilled bottom" 215 USD equivalent

19" crash-ride, "great warm sound, unfortunately keyholed" 140 USD equivalent

20" mini cup ride "fairly thick with nice sound" 170 USD equivalent

The ones marked 'såld' are, you guessed it, sold :)

Thoughts?

Those are pretty spendy prices for those cymbals, even when the market isn't down the toilet. There are MUCH better deals to be had on cymbals that aren't keyholed. You should be looking to spend roughly $100 for a crash, slightly more for a ride or pair of hats.

Of course, there's something to be said for finding "the one" or your personal "holy grail" of cymbals. If you ever find that one special cymbal, don't let it pass you by. But, these prices are steep as it is...

[COLOR="DarkRed"]The Mini-Cup ride is a nice old cymbal, sort of a dry-ish ride...it's actually a NICE cymbal and there aren't many of 'em around....so I think THAT price is FAIR/OK if it has no damage.

the 19's price is a bit high, because of the keyhole....maybe $110-120usd is more reasonable....

the 'hats should only be about $120-130 tops....I am doubting that the rivet holes in the bottom are original....however, a nice light top 14 is a good old cymbal....

So....seller is pricing the last two about 15% too high, IMHO.....so, if I were buying, I'd offer 10-15% lower than his/her asking price....[/COLOR]
