1960's

I just checked at ebay to see what these go for. It varies greatly from $116-245. Does anyone have any thoughts to help me understand that?

116 is the low end and 245 would be the high end. It's a number sequencing thing. If you think back to Mr. Macintyre's fourth grade math class, you will remember him talking about Place Value. That's where the numbers are sequenced from one end of the number line to the other ... keeping in mind it is infinite. So, the far right is the Ones place. The next is the Tens place, then the Hundreds, and so on. Put this into play and you have One Hundred Sixteen for the first one and Two Hundred Forty-Five for the second one. Go to the extreme left place to find the higher number for comparison. We find that they both land in the Hundreds place. The first one is a One and the second one is a Two. The Two is larger, so that would put that price at the high end, which leaves the other to fill the low end. Simple. Hope this helps.

I've tracked Paiste 602 and Sound Creation prices on eBay since December 2005 and I've got about 1500 data points now. It is a little research project of mine. I can show you instances where two cymbals in the same condition sell for about $100 difference in price only a few days apart. That level of variation is just how the market bounces around.

Unless yours are unusually light or heavy they won't attract much attention because these are so common. I'm presuming they are 14" and not the less common 13" or 15"...which is an example of what you need to watch out for in terms of details.

I`ve read hear that the large lettering all throughout ZILDGAN CO is 60s` and Zildgan CO is 50s` for the A. there`s a guide up top.

Like a good football player,...it`s only worth what someone is willing to pay for it !!

What I don`t understand is the crazy $$ they`re get`n for new ones`s with black ink that shows stick marks and makes them look ugly !!

Are you serious?

for a set of 60's hats that's the going rate just sold a set of 13" where 50's and 60's and 14" 60's zildjian's that's what I asked and got for them!
