210 each seem a little high for used cymbals. I would go no higher than maybe $150 each for those.

If they're Colorsounds that you're talking about then that definitely bumps the price up a bit. Rude's, however, I wouldn't pay as much as their worth in the first place. IMO all these things offer are cool looks and LOTS of volume. I bought a set of 14" Rude hihats and took them back within the next week... Not musical at all, just loud, obnoxious cymbals. The one thing I like about the Rude line is the ride, it does sound nice for metal purposes or grunge.
I would pay about $150 each personally.

After 40 plus years of playing, I am finally finding cymbals that I like. There are plenty to choose from and the secret is to find something that has a sound closest to what you imagine in your head. Beyond that, you need to decide what it is you want from your cymbals. If you are not a strong player and wish not to be so articulate, a cymbal with a lot of "Wash" would be what you need. It's more noise than anything else. On the other hand, if you are into playing jazz and big band where the other players need to hear an articulate cymbal pattern, then you need a cymbal that is darker in sound and more of a hammer texture that machine lathing. These are dryer sounding cymbals and the best of these demand a great deal of money. The most I've spent is $350 but, I'll part with the $$$ for the sound I want. And if you think that's crazy just remember, if you like what you hear, then you will be motivated to keep learning your craft.
