$229 for a "Brand New 16" Crash Cymbal

Posts: 2413 Threads: 336

So have any of you seen this ebay listing. As it does not reveal anything about it's make / model - I thought it was some kind of joke or some ignorant seller or something like that. So, I kept it on my watch list, so as to have reference to the 'joke' ..............

but the joke may be on me as I see this seller has actually sold 6 of these!

What??

I tried to send a message (question) to the seller, but got this message:

We're sorry we couldn't find an answer for you. Unfortunately, due to the high volume of messages this seller receives, they are unable to respond to your specific question right now. We suggest reviewing the item again to see if your answer is in the seller's listing.

Anyone know anything about this listing??

Just terribly curious to me.....

I had a great day! Instead of sleeping in and wasting the day, I got up at 8 and I had all my slacking done by noon!

If you look at the past sales and the 6 that sold. They each sold for $29.95 not the $229.95 it's listed at now. Big difference. For $29.95 people will take a chance for $229.95 not so much.

In that case it sounds like the new price is due to key bounce when they entered it.

This actual price of 29.95 makes much more sense, although strange that it has not been corrected. I suppose the seller is genuinely enjoying this free PR!

There is not 1 mystery here, there are two:

1) How does purchase at the $29 price even occur? The Ebay system would require a 229 payment and suck that much when it is paid. Now, the seller could correct it once this was informed by the buyer - though how would anyone know (besides reading this thread or searching past purchases)? Recall that when I tried to contact the seller - the system would not allow it. Hummm.....

2) What do these sound like? What composition is it and how does it sound? It sure looks beautiful.

If anyone ever gets your hands on one, please report your findings here.

If you look at the rest of the equipment for sale on his/her site, it appears to be all very low quality/no name stuff. You get what you pay for.
