Drum Cymbals

Does anyone know how much I should ask for some drum cymbals?

So I am going to sell two drum cymbals and a cowbell, but I don't know how much to ask. They are a Camber 20" Ride and a Camber 14" Hi Hat, both Barely Used and with stands. The cowbell is also barely used and new looking. If you could please tell me what you think I should ask for each, and also if you have any links as to how much they cost (new), it would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks so much!

It is a judgment to assess a cymbal's value depending conditions. Cymbals lose some value when they are not brand new. There are several conditions that would define the value and help appraising cymbals:

Brand New- Being sold by manufacturers or their dealers, entirely new. This grading would mark for 100% of the original value.

Mint - It is in perfect, and will almost certainly be unused condition; there are no scratches, dents or other visible damage, and - to all intents and purposes. It has been kept in a special, stored condition, as to avoid excessive temperatures, excessive sunlight or damp, and will have been preserved in some form, by protective coverings, or a container of some sort. This grading would mark for 70-90% of the original value.

Near Mint or Very Near Mint - Perhaps it has been played once, but is still in perfect condition. This grading would mark for 60-80% of the original value.

Excellent Condition - It may have been owned or used, but everything including the packaging is still in perfect condition. However, it is not "new". This grading would mark for 50-70% of the original value.

Very Good, Like New - It has been used or owned for a good period of time, kept in nice condition. But there may be minor issues, e.g. it's been played more than once, albeit with no defects to it. This grading would mark for 30-60% of the original value.

Reasonable or Acceptable Condition – Heavy usage, probably some damage, such as a tear, quite severe scratches or dents. This grading would mark for 20-40% of the original value.

Used / Damaged - It is not going to be worth much to anyone, except for pure playing or reading ownership. This grading would mark for 10-30% of the original value.

Scrap or Other - It is almost worthless, and will barely be fit-for-purpose. This grading would mark for 0-20% of the original value.

We hope this will help.
