Hi All,
I'm not very much into values of cymbals and need help. Consider buying this cymbal. It is repaired with a piece og copper (see pictures).
What should be my maximum bid?
Thanx in advance, Bart

Let's see. 17" diameter and weighs 1432g. Nice enough weight. Hartrick Intermediate Stamp if I'm seeing it correctly (I really do need new reading glasses now and even my big monitor doesn't help).
I can't tell enough about the repair from the photos to be sure it is a good repair job, so that adds some uncertainty on what the expected price might be. If the extra "washer" shaped piece was glued in then that's a good repair and won't harm the B20 by overheating. If the washer was attached by some process involving heat...not so good.
How much you personally should bid depends on
how experienced you are with old Ks
how experienced you are with damaged/repaired cymbals
how rich you are
how much you want it.
I'll just dump some data from my sales database and see if it injects nicely here

Sorry about the messy fields and spacing. The copy/paste function doesn't get it right. Note that -3 for bids means auction ended early (may have been sold off eBay or to the highest offer and we don't know the price).
In my condition notes "munted" means damaged. It's a local slang term.
We believe that price wise the factors are
thin is in = higher price (certainly for rides)
old stamps get more than intermediates and new stamps
an unknown factor if you are in Europe rather than the USA (more expensive?)
a factor depending on who the seller is (some command higher prices)
Although I've got more sales data than I've dumped here it isn't yet in the database. Even this stuff isn't fully cleaned up.
Eyeballing the intermediate and new stamp sales I'd say $350 is the maximum I'd bid. That's because of the uncertainty of the repair. If the hole wasn't damaged then maybe $400.
Hope this helps.
If needed I can write a pdf of the dumps and put a link in here so it is easier to read. I'm pressed for time right now, but if requested I can do some "proper" estimates later on. But this may give you enough of an idea. And hopefully others will give their opinions.
Thanx Zenstat for your very elaborate reaction!
The repair is soldered.
350 dollar would be around 270 euro. That's way beyond my budget especially considering the fact that I'm a pretty hard hitter. I'm afraid I'll break it, it presumably allready had a rough life.
I hadn't translated the auction page so I didn't notice the "soldered".
Why not just put an offer of EUR85 if your budget goes to that? If somebody else bids higher, then they get it. If nobody else bids you might get it at a nice low price.
Wondering if that repair job is reliable. If not - not worth much of anything at all.
