Used Prices: The price distribution for good condition used 24" Fo602 Medium Rides goes from $275 to $995 dollars. Median price is $415 with half selling for between $330 and $570 based on a sample of 41 sales. The reissues (2012 on) sell used from $275 to $450, and weigh in at 3778g - 3964g (n=12 sales). The MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) is $655 (March 2021). The slightly higher prices (above $600) seem to go Blue Labels. That is a general pattern for all Fo602 models. Buyers like those Blue Labels. On a more general note buyers also like the other less common models of Fo602 24" cymbals like the Thin Crash or Paper Thin. That gets you up over $1000. Data on those will be added to the specific model pages soon but for now the expected weight ranges for different models of 24"cymbals are:

Paper Thin 2600g - 2920g
Thin Crash no weights for examples with this model ink but probably 3000g - 3150g
Thin 3120g - 3150g
Medium 3200g - 3500g
Medium Ride 3778g - 3964g
Heavy no weights for examples with this model ink but probably 4000g and up.

The variation between models seems greater than the variation between the different production eras for the same model. There are cymbals with weights in between these ranges which lack model ink. There are probably some Thin Crash examples in there but without model ink we can't be sure which of the lighter ones are Thin Crash and which are Thin.
