... I am not that interested in buying used cymbals because they could be cracked or close to it...
Many of my favorite cymbals have cracks. Saying you avoid cymbals with cracks is like some guy who is shown a '64 Fender Precision bass and doesn't like it because the finish is worn. The reason the finish is worn is because it's a great bass that sucked someone into playing it for years. Same for cymbals with cracks.
I have cymbals that I repaired cracks on 35 years ago that haven't cracked further since. When I met Steve Gadd his set had several cymbals that were cracked to %$%#!
So for me cymbals with some cracks are a chance to get something cheap. I have a 50's K that is heavily cracked that a friend bought me at a swap meet for one dollar. It sounds better than any $250 music store junk.
I always buy used cymbals and am drawn towards cracked cymbals because I know I can fix most of them, they tend to be cracked because they were good cymbals that people wanted to play, and I can get them for pennies on the dollar for what the cost new.
Besides, most cymbals don't sound right for 20 years.
