C3 probably will still be able to sell Sceptres internationally.  Typically a patent such as this would only affect the US.

I am surprised that they still have stuff up about the sceptre on the c3 manufacturing thread here on yoyoexpert

How much were they and if I have 10 to 12 of these and sell on the bst would that be a infringment or breaking the rules somehow? I don't have them, it would take some doing to get them but it is possible and to recover my loses I would have to let them go at $110. Just wondering if its worth my effort and time.



Update: overshot the international shipping.. recoup losses at $100.

They were around $70 if i recall correctly. A single Sceptre with international shipping is $83 from a certain Japanese store at the moment. No one in their right mind would pay $100, and no idea how international shipping would be so expensive to warrant that price.

Thanks. I was wondering if I was getting dooped. I just found the on another more reliable site for the price you listed. So their just not available to buy here in the US stores. 83 is a lot better.

I picked one up during the few minutes they were available. I love it so far, only problem is that one of the response pads on my A-bearing side got pretty destroyed after a week of play. It basically shredded a layer off of itself and is completely responsive now.

Same thing with mine. I threw in some flowable silicone and it plays beautifully!

definitely a worthwhile lesson. flowable is a great response and pretty much the only one that lets you have some control over how much and the colors.
