Also, here in the States, there's a bizarre phenomenon on local marketplace websites/apps where an item listed for a few dollars or listed at an extremely low relative price can fetch more interest and more reliable buyers that the same item listed as "free."
Depending on what you have, I might be interested as well!
Hi all, what do people usually do with unwanted cymbals? I’ve accumulated quite a few cymbals which are either broken or too low in value to get them sold. Categorised as follows:
1) Broken/ cracked, and they didn’t start out as good cymbals either
2) Vintage cymbals, decent condition, no cracks/ keyhole - but relative value is so low no-one is interested when I’ve tried to sell them online
3) Vintage cymbals with small amount of damage/cracks that may be fixable, but the cost to do this would be greater than the value of the cymbal
Ideally I’d like some cash for these but it seems I can’t even give them away! I’m in the UK.
Anyone ever had such a collection, what did you do?
Thanks
We would gladly pay the shipping for any broken cymbals. My son just built himself a cymbal lathe (from scratch) and now he's on the hunt for cymbals to work on. LMK. We are outside of Baltimore, MD.Re: what to do with unwanted cymblas?
I think that with items marked as "free", many potential buyers assume there must be something wrong with the item or else why would someone just give it away? If it has value, then there's nothing wrong with setting a fair price for it.

Right, send them to David Raouf. He'll do something wacky with them.Re: what to do with unwanted cymblas?
Go to youtube and type in "what to do with old or cracked cymbals"
I'm sure rdavidr has done some stuff with them.
