The best way to determine that would be to check the final auction values for similar ones on eBay under the cymbals dept and "completed items".

I recomend putting them up there on a no reserve auction and letting the bidders decide. $400 seems a bit steep. And this is the worst time of year to be selling anything on eBay.

Hmm...that doesn't sound good. You could at least donate them to a young drummer or something. Throwing them away seems like such a waste.

$400 is WAY too steep, especially right now during the pre-Christmas "push". The ride is probably worth about $175, and the hats are more like $130ish. But, with the economy still "down" (if you believe the media), you could probably sell the hats for $100 and the ride for $120, easy. But, with the previously-mentioned pre-holiday market, you might not be able to get that much. Well, that's how it is in Portland, anyways.

If anything, throw them up on craigslist for $50 a piece...you'll have $100 in your pocket, and they'll be gone TODAY (and probably back on craigslist tomorrow)! If you don't have craigslist available where you are, sell them to a pawn shop or give them away...

Yeah, 400 is out of control. These hats are worth 80-120 at very best. Will someone pay more than that, maybe?

There are plenty of places out there working with the "make a wish" foundation. You could make a poor but talented young drummer VERY happy this Christmas! If you didn't pay much for them to begin with, a donation might be in order...

Good luck!
