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 Though in a competitive setting, most would say they’re a bit out of date - the same goes for your M1.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
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I compare cars and yo-yos quite a bit so, using your criteria, my car would be “obsolete” or “out of date” because it is not able to compete on a Nascar track.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.
Hi! Due to my really long break from throwing I am not able to determine the value of my yoyos set. I am thinking about fresh start selling all my throws, but I don’t want to get ripped off so I hope you will help me!

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?
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.
