$1,000 for Old Zildjian????? Last viewed: 32 seconds ago

Loading...

Can this person be really thinking the symbal is worth that much? From the pics it looks like it's been polished with something and I do not believe the rivets are even factory installed.

Rare size and rare rivets are still intact, rare condition, but what isn't so rare is the ebay seller fees he will pay them after his cymbal doesn't sell,Clapping Happy2Laughing H

When they're under 3000 grams, 24" A Zildjians can easily sell for $1000 and up, but they MUST have a nice soundfile or video. The cymbal in the auction is too heavy, and without a media file it is very unlikely that the seller will get more than $400.

Seriously, how do you think the best weight for the 24"?

Mine is 3100g and to me it's medium thin to thin range.

I actually like medium thin cymbal in any sizes so that's the best.

I know the some super thin 24" in your website.

How did you feel them? not too thin?

I think 3100 grams is a great weight. Anywhere from 2900 to 3100 seems just right, but a lot of drummers like them thinner. The trans stamp 24 was 2965 grams, and was an absolutely stunning cymbal...it sold for $1300 in less than a day. The 60's 24 was 2752 grams (a bit thin for my taste), and sold to a rather famous drummer for $1400, took about a week to sell. To demonstrate how important weight is to value, I also have a 50's hollow block at 3113 grams, just as nice of a cymbal as the others, but it's not selling for $595.

I see. I think the sold price is thanks to your great playing videos too.

the super thin 60s 24" is to my friend. but who is the famous drummer?

Thin cymbals are difficult to play and tend to lost fine ping sound, right?

I have an 18.5 K Sizzle Ride - haven't weighed it accurately but I think it's about 1360g. I roughly weighed it on my fancy bathroom scale and it's under three lbs. 3lb/2.2 (lbs/kg).......I'll have to get a proper scale to weight if for sure but it looks like it's well under 2000g.

Mine is an 'old stamp' and I was told - on the Forum here a few months ago - my cymbal may be around $800 and would appreciate about 15%/yr. Others have said maybe even as high as $1,500 or more (depends who wants it I guess). I'm happy with that for now.

So I would think the eBay BuyNow $999 is not out of line..............just a guess on my part though.

[COLOR="DarkRed"]Well...an old K is a different story.

Just IMHO...someone would be a damn fool to pay anywhere NEAR $1g for an Avedis 24" regardless of the weight. Mmmmmmmayyyybeeeee a trans-stamp 24" at a perfect weight could get into a bid war up to $1000....but I am not even so sure of that.

Any other A. 24"....hell, worth between maybe $250-600 absolute tops....even in a nice weight.....

Gary.....yours is a K....technically a 19"....old stamp 19" ?.....hella thin if it's anything under 1400g !!!!....and if the rivets aren't recent.....and it's in good shape.....sure, you could try a BIN of $999 and see if anyone bites. It's not a crazy price to ask.[/COLOR]
