Inca gold finish drum kits are not very common
Paiste 602 Value
Thanks Hobbs. Here's what other people sold 14" 602 hats for -- based on 355 completed sales:
expected median price $286 with half selling for between $224 and $368. The lowest value is $155 and 4 sales get up over $700 for mint condition with all ink intact and/or special models.
The expected price varies depending on condition (in particular ink all present and unfaded), whether or not they are Sound Edge, whether or not they are a special model (like Heavy or Extra Heavy or Joe Morello), which production era they are from (preserial 1959-1972, black label 1972-1982, blue label 1982-1992). I can tell those are not blue label from the info you provided. I can also tell they are not Joe Morello series, and probably not Sound Edge (if they are an original pairing) because of the lathing style. But you haven't provided enough information to narrow down the expected price based on all the other factors which are known to influence price in my statistical modelling. About all I can add is that "good condition" suggests you would at least expect to be in the price band $286 to $368, probably more.
The hats are nice and I've heard good things about the Renowns. They're an import kit with a used price of $700-$800. Those Club dates sell new for about $1700.
That's true, however my kit is from 2016, so it's used too. I suspect it's worth about $1,100. I've seen some Gretsch kits, like this one sell for $1,000-1,200. If the hats are worth.$200-300 then it seams like a fair trade.

The owner says they are thin and there are no cracks or keyholing.
Just for general info, the Joe Morello hats have a slightly smaller top hat (as per Joe's specs) and have fine tonal groove lathing not the more coarse tonal groove lathing found on generally on the Fo602 series. The Sound Edge hats also have the fine tonal grooves, but you can tell them from the Morello hats because the Sound Edge bottom has the ripples. Falling Do
Very occasionally people sell mixed pairings where one hat has the fine tonal grooves and the other has the coarse tonal grooves. These aren't factory pairings, and it becomes hard to tell whether the top came from the Morello hats or is an SE top. If there is ink left you can distinguish them.
Based on the more coarse tonal groove lathing the johnnyringo hats are plain Fo602 series hats as are the Hobbs hats.
The intact ink saying Bottom Hi Hat and 14" is a plus, they appear to be pre serial number, and in good condition with no mounting hole wear. The remaining ink and condition raise the expected price a bit. Being pre serial (as opposed to Black Label with a serial number) lower the expected price a little bit. So a revised estimate would be $368 to $430, but with the proviso that prices do vary a lot. What you get is what you get on the day.
