Yoyo Appraisal Thread

Depends on your definition. A synonym would be ‘obsolete’, which obviously they aren’t because they’re still fully capable of performing a number of tricks. Though in a competitive setting, most would say they’re a bit out of date - the same goes for your M1. Not to say it isn’t a real beaut, because it is. But play-wise, it’s not quite on par with, say, a Draupnir :wink:

I’m a bit rusty with prices at the moment, but like any older collectable model, it really depends on the buyer. I’d probably put the median price around $80, though. But I’m sure it’s much more valuable to you.

Competitive play is such a small portion of the community though. How many players actually compete versus those that just throw for the fun of it? IF we only judge on competitive performance we are going to miss out on some great models, past and present, that are not designed with competitive play in mind.

I compare cars and yo-yos quite a bit so, using your criteria, my car would be “obsolete” or “out of date” because it is not able to compete on a Nascar track. I would call them classics instead, like comparing a 1967 Shelby GT500 against a 2017 Shelby GT350R. Sure, the newer model is going to be quicker with more modern amenities but the '67 is going to have a feel that you just cannot get today. The M1, Peak, etc fall in that latter category with a feel you just don’t get anymore and are still quite fun to throw. :slight_smile:

Hello,
I hope this is the right spot. I recently saw a Flores yoyo in a store and I am wondering if it is reproduction or real.

Thanks for your help!

I have a One Drop Citizen that is somewhere between Mint and Near Mint condition and I am thinking of selling it, does anybody know how much it might sell for on the Buy/Sell/Trade?

It is a rare-ish throw and a titanium, but it is newer. If it is mint with all the packaging, I would say start at the retail price and go from there.

Beat half yogi half 65g gold nugget chief
Mint purple violet and white gambit
Small pinpricks here and there purple and black vitality (1/4 I think)

How much is a mint canvas worth these days?

Greatly depends on edition and condition.

One Drop Cascade, Vilmos Zoltan Kiss Edition.
I would say mint but there is a hairline scratch that is difficult to find so I’ll say near mint to be safe.
I also have the box if that makes a difference. Any ideas?

^^ $75 on the Cascade ^^ maybe a touch more to the right person

What are these Sebby Peaks going for now a days… Mint with the box!

It’s my last Peak and thinking about parting with it :-[

I got $275 out of mine.

MIB 2014 Ash Berry CLYW Sasquatch?

$75 - $85 is my best estimation.

MIB Pink CLYW Advance Scout? It was 1 of 14 if I remember correctly. Not sure if I want to get rid of it yet or not but I haven’t had the time to throw much in a while and I need some money for something else at the moment.

Orange turning point paranoid? Please and thanks
