eBay/Craigslist cymbal alerts - the official thread

[Big Ken]

Thanks for the heads up.
I bought a Dream cymbal from a different store recently (CME), and they matched the sale price from PitBull for me.
But now it's got me looking at PitBull too.

Cool. Good sale: some 50% off Meinl and Sabian too. I think they included the tax in the qouted price because I didn’t pay any. Free shipping….yeah , worth a look.

Baltimore, MD area.........Zildjian 18" trans stamp type 1 paper thin at 1185 gm. $120. Local pickup only.

I told the seller it was a trans stamp type 1. They still don't fully believe me....lol.
Slight key hole. Could be some faint bell hole cracks. I'd buy it if I weren't 330 miles away. They also had a clean 15" Type 2b K Istanbul thin in the 800's listed for $150. Sold yesterday.
Neither of these cymbals was properly described hence they sat around for a week already.

Update - purchased by one of our members on Sat Feb 4th. Initial word is that they love the sound of it.

Syracuse, NY region.

Nice vintage set of "70's" cymbals at $300 for the group. Already tried to see if the seller would ship to me (300 miles) with no response. Someone was supposed to come
and look at these today and I figured they would sell. It's a no brainer. I was 2nd in line. But, the "pending sale" sign came down tonight. So not sure the current status except seller
is no longer responding to me.

That's a trans stamp 20" ride (probably light), an 18" stamped "thin" that looks "earlier 60's," and what appear to be 50's small stamp SSA or earlier hi hats. If so, $700-$750 potential value.
I enlarged the 20 photo and couldn't verify which trans stamp type it was. Sure is "lumpy" though. For those who keep moaning about "no good deals out there"........here's one.

=============

Those lingered for several days.....but now showing SOLD as of 2/10/23. Hope someone here got them.

Baltimore, MD area (Gwynn Oak). Hey, Baltimore seems to be "hot" lately with deals.

$70 OBO ......... Zildjian 19" with small keyhole. Looks to be a 50's. Can't find the stamp in those photos. Probably worth a look if you're close by. Seller has some other
later Zildjians though not priced as good as this one.

I had them check the stamps, since it didn't specify. 60s, great deal, but I don't need more hats. They certainly acted like they would ship.

Last I heard, MGR has a restrictive policy about shipping new arrivals, but it only seems to apply to some locations.

Their shipping charges from most locations are really high in most cases.

Never mind. I decided to buy it myself. Mods: please remove.

Did you buy those hats? Just an fyi, one is a 50’s small stamp, the other is a 60’s stamp. I looked at them the day before the post was made. Very nice hat combo. I would have bought them but I have too many pairs at this point.

No, it was something else. I’m surprised that those hats are still available. Each cymbal alone is worth more than $60.
