Well then don't buy Alphas..? When we say buy used, we don't mean from websites. We mean ad listings on Craigslist. You should get cymbals for less than half of the original price.
I got an AA 21 Dry Ride for 110 and AA medium hats for 120. They retail for 300 for the hats and 250 for the ride in Canada. So you're saying I'm not saving money?
Alphas aren't even pro level cymbals. Don't waste your money trying to find used Alpha cymbals on websites when you can be buying fantastic cymbals that will last a lifetime for less the money.

If you can't comprehend that you can save money buying used, and you're set on buying new, get the Benny set. http://www.amazon.com/Meinl-Byzance-Vintage-Benny-Cymbal/dp/B008KER1GY/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1441837890&sr=8-7&keywords=meinl+benny Incredible value. You'll be able to get them cheaper used.
