There are many more to come!
Crocostrings is an up and coming string buisness run by myself, crococorey, on the yoyoexpert forums. This thread is the place where I will sell my strings!
All of my strings are handmade one at a time. They are not pretied and are pretty long for people who are really tall (like me).
If you are interested, i will trade my strings for yoyos or a diabolo. In fact that would be wonderful. I’m looking for any magicyoyo, any wooden fixed axle, and also counterweights. I also want any 19 MM response pads. TMBR axles are one of my main wants! Offer anything though! I have a BST at the bottom of this thread where I have many more wants.
Please add a dollar for shipping of any type of string. If you are buying multiple packs, we will work out a shipping price.
You can pay through paypal or if you don’t have paypal, we can work something out.
Ask me about spinning the string backwards for Left Handed yoyo players!
My 5 types of strings!
-
A very whippy polyester string called “Cat O’ nine tails” because of the whip of the same name. The cat o’ nine tails is a kind of whip used throughout history. I will call this string “Cat tails” because its original name is quite long. This string is extremely whippy, yet it doesn’t hold tension as well as some of my other strings, and it is slick. This string (and its fatter brother) have a bit of a break in time and get smoother and a bit softer after a few minutes of play. The more you play with this string the better the tension holding gets too.
5.50$ for a ten pack.
Colors: Neon yellow, neon green, neon blue, neon orange, neon pink, red, white, black, or any combonation

A thicker version of “Cat o’ nine tails” called “Fat cat o’ nine tails”. Again, I will call this string “Fat cat tails” because of its long original name. It has all the aspects of regular cat tails, but it whips a bit better, and snags a bit more, just like any other fat version of a string. The more you play with this string, the better the tension holding gets.
5.80$ a ten pack.
Colors: Neon yellow, neon green, neon blue, neon orange, neon pink, red, white, black, or any combonation

A super soft nylon string called “Fantasy chords” because they are so soft that you will feel as if you are in a fantasy when you are using them. This string is very soft and holds tension well. Its slack very nicely, with a big loop. It doesn’t whip anywhere near as well as the cat tails, but it can still brent stole and hook easily.
5.50$ a ten pack.
Some pictures of the fantasy chords:

Colors: yellow, pink, blue, green, orange, red, white, black, or any combonation
- A thicker version of fantasy chords called “Fat fantasy chords”. These strings bind a bit tighter than regular fantasy chords, yet have a higher snag risk. Just like any fat version of a string.
5.80$ a ten pack
Has all of the same colors as the regular fantasy chords.
5.A soft polyester/nylon blend called “Marshmallows” because just like marshallows, these strings are cheap to buy, and are so yummy! They are also soft like a marshmallow. They hold tension very well.
3.00$ a ten pack.
Some pictures of the marshmallows:

Colors:yellow, pink, blue, green, orange, red, white, black, or any combonation WARNING- if you chose a specific color I may not be able to make a solid color string out of it because the 2 different threads (poly/nylon) don’t come in the exact same color.
BST!
I’m only looking for trades, not selling. I will add a bunch of my strings for trade value!
My wants:

But I didnt want to actually put it on my BST because of its damage, and I really only want to trade it for another 4a throw. I will trade other throw(s) for a go big too though.
ALL wooden fixed axle! Trying to get into this style.
Any High Quality C sized bearings! I don’t really want SPEC bearings or stock flat bearings (other than OD 10 balls).
OFFER ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING!
YYJ Phenomizm!
Near mint, except one ding on the rim. Does not effect play at all. Super smooth! Fast. Great throw. Trade value maybe 55-60$? Offer anything!

YYF Derlin Severe!
Super fun Yoyo! It feels great. It has some vibe, but still plays great! The only damage is pictured. 2 scratches/dings. Trade value maybe 25$? Offer!

YYF Shaqlerstar!
Very near mint. I examined it and found 1 little scuff. The arrows line up perfectly and everything! Super smooth! I’d say it’s worth maybe 23$ dollars trade value. Offer whatever!

Duncan Freehand!
Mint in package, but I did steal the CW haha. The yoyo has been untouched though. Never taken out of the package. Maybe worth 9$?

Yomega Maverick!
Not C sized bearing version. The ones pictured are the only real “dings”. There are a few other scrapes though. I’d say it’s worth maybe 8$ trade value. Offer anything!

Yep, another one. It is still good playing, but it has many dings and scuffs. Trade value maybe 6$?

Have a croco day!
