Is there ANYONE on here that knows a little about drums that might be able to look at the pictures of these things, and give me some idea what I need to say about them?

All my sister said is that they are in excellent used condition.

I looked around on ebay, and since I know nothing about what I'm looking at-- I just got even more confused about these things.

I do know that they appear to be worth something, because people are bidding as much as $170 on a pair that looks similar to what I have here.

They are Zildjian 13" hi hat cymbals. No dents or pings in them... appear to be in very good condition.

However, I'm afraid that my lack of knowledge about them might steer a buyer away from the auction.

Can anyone help?

Feel free to PM me if you can, and I'll send you a picture of these things...

Thanks in advance!

Also you need to check if the hole is elongated. Cymbals that never sat right will make the hole elogated

Thanks for the info.

The holes in both cymbals are perfectly round. I guess that's how they are supposed to be.

I called her this evening. She said she used the cymbals for about a month at church before they bought the new set. They haven't been used since. She's had them wrapped in bubble wrap and packed away in a rubbermaid storage tub. I wish I'd known all that before I listed them. I'd have added those comments. I'm just going to leave it like it is though. I think they will bring a fine price anyway.
