Buying used. Any thoughts?

Hi, first time posting a thread here, but i was wondering if you guys could give me some advice on used pedals and cymbals that are an option for me to get. They all go for 800 nok, that's about 134 usd.

Here's a Paiste 16" Alpha Crash

Pearl double bass drum pedal (I've been playing with single pedal to date, but I want to begin working from Pedal Control, by Joe Berganini).

Worldmax double bass:

Are they any good, compared to the asking price? Grateful for comments from you experienced folk.

I don't know about WorldMax, but the Alpha and the Pearl pedals look like a good buy, but only if they are in really good condition. That's a decent crash, or it should be.

Thank you for your advice, I will certainly be looking at the crash and the pearl pedals, but the worldmax seemed a bit cheapish, to my eyes anyway.

I don't know about that Worldmax pedal, I would ignore it.

But the alpha crash doesn't look to bad. Check it for keyholing, or cracks/dents etc. Looks pretty good though.

The pearl pedals look pretty decent. The left pedal chain looks like might have a bit of rust but there are so many ways to clean rust and lube pedal bearings or whatever else needs it. The forum has lots of info on that. As long as its a fair price its probably worth it.
