I bought a 22 K Medium Dark ride about 7 years ago.

They go for $449.95 now, but when I got it, I traded in stuff. It was the only cymbal I've bought online without hearing it.
I never liked it all that much, even though they've got a very good reputation, and a lot of people really like them.
I think I just got one of the rare not so good ones. I almost never used it, so it still looked pretty new.
I ran across a well used, older 20 K Custom Medium that I liked a whole lot better.
Those are going for $384.95 new now, but you could tell that this one is a bit older and has seen
a lot of use.
The logos are almost gone, and there was a lot of stubborn staining.
Anyways, I bit the bullet, and did a trade, pretty much even up. I know I took a hit on it, and could have done better
with a straight sell instead of a trade. But I'm OK with the deal, and have another cymbal that I'll actually use now.
