Help pricing a pair of Ks?

Hi!

Thanks for all the replies and advice.

These cymbals are an orchestra pair and I want to buy them and flip them. I was looking for an American price, probably. Not too many people seem to want them here in Czechia.

PS..I have learned that any cracks over 1/2" long really start to affect the sound....

No cracks on these, and they weigh little bit under 1500g each.

The heavy weight changes everything.

For 14" cymbals those would more likely be used as marching band cymbals not hi hats. You would be looking at 650-850g per hat, maybe 900g max for old stamp hats. Value drops accordingly.

I expected that. So what would be a reasonable price (assuming someone wants them, of course)?

Yeah, here the problem is the coupling of heavy weight and small diameter. If they were say, 18" cymbals or larger, there is some demand for old K orchestral cymbals of that size, at the heavy weight. But I am not aware of any orchestras using 14" cymbal pairs anymore. 1500 (each?!), wow those are heavy. I'm sure they're really cool, though.
