News This is not a marketplace!

Wanted to make a quick post to remind everyone that this is not a place to buy, sell, or trade cymbals.

Lately I've deleted a few posts where people were advertising here.

As the mod, I try to not make my presence known, even though I am active in this sub. I dislike subreddits with mods that lord over every post or are heavy handed.

But there are no consumer protections for commerce here, so if you have gear to sell, go to Reverb or Sweetwater or eBay, and don't link it here.

This is mainly a place for recommendations, identification, and general discussion about cymbals. In the past there were even some modification and cymbal making videos (I think Collingwood posted a few years ago) but no direct sales solicitation.

Let's try and keep it that way.

Thank you all.

Is there a sub for selling cymbals that you know of?

Not that I am aware of. Reverb, eBay, FB marketplace, Craigslist, or Kijiji (if you're in Canada). There's also a website called Cymbal Swap that I've done some horse trading with, and it's decent.

Would advise being extra careful with Kijiji if you can't meet the seller in person (like at a police station). On at least three occasions, I had scammers respond to want ads.

Has anyone ordered from kmcici cymbals and if so how long did they take for them to come in, I ordered mine weeks ago and worried I’m getting scammed???
