Talk to me about package deals!

Hey guys. I've got myself a situation here. I've realized that I'm officially more of a fan of solid colored yoyos. No disrespect intended to my man Jason Wong, because this thing is beautiful! It's just not getting enough play as it should. So here's the deal. I'm looking to trade this here mint, smooth (teflon taped axle), Angel Dusted, Jason Wong ano'd Overdrive for a MINT RAW Overdrive ONLY! If the right offer doesn't come along, I'll have no problems keeping it. If anything the person who trades this from me gets the upper end of the deal because of all the extra money I invested in refinishing it.

SOLD! ~~BNIB Lunatic - $45 shipped or best offer~~
My little brother has a Lunatic, so I don't need this one. It's brand new and has never been removed from the packaging. Great inexpensive metal and works very well for 5A (as much as I can tell from my extremely noobish 5A skills, lol). These are sold out in major retailers and retailed for $70!Take advantage of this and get yourself one for cheap!

SOLD! ~~BNIB Northstar: $20 shipped or best offer~~
~~It's a Northstar, not much else to say. Kimmitt won Worlds with it and it's a really awesome deep blue color. Brand new, never been removed from box, sure to be an awesome player.~~

SOLD! ~~Metal Drifer: $15 shipped or best offer~~
My first attempt at a mirror polish. Couple foggy spots, but it definitely looks much better than it did before. Includes skull counterweight and currently has one broken-in friction sticker installed. I find that it levels out the response pretty well, and it plays surprisingly good.

TRADED! ~~Messiah: $120 or best offer -- seriously, don't be afraid to offer -- or trade for the above~~
Couple things about this here Messiah. Undersized is not my thing, but this thing does everything right that other undersized throws don't. It's very solid, stable, long spinning, not prone to tilting, and Sunny said it best when he said it is the "best undersized on the planet." It's also stunning to look at and has without a doubt the best clear coat ano job I've ever seen. This one has the old axle system and the new deep response groove, so it will accept silicone. However, it has what appears to be rings scratched into the lower catch zone (machining marks?), a small collection of pinpricks by the rim step and a shallow scratch on the face of the rim on the unengraved side. Unfortunately with it being clear ano, most of this damage is next to impossible to picture. Here is a collection of photos mainly showcasing the ring scratch. The specks around the rims are not the pinpricks I was talking about -- just dust.
Aside from the aesthetic damage, this thing does have a decent pulse vibe that looks worse than it feels. It was worse but I managed to work a good bit of it out with some good ol' fashioned Teflon tape tuning. On the string it feels not even as vibey as an average CLYW and you won't be able to feel or see the vibe unless you sat there idling it on the string (who does that anyway). Having all this in mind, I'm willing to negotiate and will do my best to work prospective offers to as close to fair market value as possible. This means I will be expecting extras to be added in case a Josy Ann is offered or something like that, but I'm also not expecting anything like the close-to-retail pricing as seen in a lot of other YYRs on the market. Also includes the original box at your request.

SOLD! ~~"Mud" '07 888: cash offer or trade for the above~~
Pretty limited and obscure. You really don't see these around that often (this one is the only one I've seen on the bst, and I bought it). Evidently YYF was trying some new anodizing technique which caused the ano to essentially strip off, leaving some very interesting ano flaws. In some areas, you can actually see fingerprints preserved in the ano -- very cool. I don't know what to value this at, so I'm just asking for offers. I'll include the clear hubstacks pictured, and I'll give the option to include black Z stacks at your request. A couple pricks on the outside of the rims that I believe to have been there upon leaving the factory, as they are anodized over. I don't think I've put any damage on this thing, but I'll double check just to be sure.

TRADED! ~~888: $100 shipped firm or trade for ILYY~~
1 of 30 limited red colorway '07 model. MIB -- purchased from Tyler Severance a little while ago at which time it was brand new in the sealed package. So fresh the finish hasn't even broken in yet. It has one ano defect near the eight|eight|eight rim engraving that I noticed as soon as I opened the box. It looks like a ding on the rim but you can tell that it's not damage from play because there's no tactile difference between the red and the defect. Your choice of flat bearing or shield's modded Asian KK bearing.

SOLD! Trident: $100 shipped or best offer
Mint in box, rose pink colorway. Amazing detail in this design. One of the best looking yoyos of all time. Plays almost identical to a YYR Stargazer v2.

SOLD! Protostar: $20 shipped or best offer
Little bit of rim scuffage, but smooth for a Protostar. Broken-in satin finish that grinds great. Includes box.

SOLD! Protostar: $20 shipped or best offer
Some marks on the rims that could either be scuffs or molding marks. No box.

SOLD! Stargazer v1: ~~$130~~ $120 shipped or best offer
Mint. Pretty awesome throw. Small vibe typical of v1 44re:, but nothing that interferes with play.

I think that's it for now. Thanks for looking, and get at me!
