nope, that’s above my paygrade. And @Mediumwell knows already better than anyone here, who has these.
Here are a couple pics I took of the first one. Not mine, it was on its merry way to Denmark (I’m not disclosing anything secret, this is year-old public info). Best executed swirl I’ve seen so far, but I would never pay 1K$ for it, this is totally ridiculous. Triton is not nearly the best G2, and the yoyo was not even mint. But the finish was very nice, slightly glossy without being over-the-top.
I would just send a wolf to gruntbull to have them reanodize something. I wouldn’t normally recommend gruntbull for anodizing but I believe they did Jakes first swirls.
@rockstar I wish I was lying. That would be giving him probably like a $900 margin. Plus after he said no, I realized that it’s more fun to hunt for these things than it is to just pay for them to be made custom. If I were to do that I would rather just start my own company, you know?
So much for my ID skills. And looking carefully, second pic is not Triton either I think - maybe Wolf ? But yes, at that level you’re not paying for the model but for the anodizing job, so why not contact Ano-Tech and ask him to do it for you ? Doesn’t that cost way less than 1,000$ ? He’s obviously proud of these jobs since he displays them on his website.
Why take the easy road? Plus I don’t want to create a new one. I want to find an existing. If you create whatever you want, it takes the value out of it.
Also stripping ano from a throw and then reanodizing it can be very iffy.
@stevejspins lol you’re trolling, right? If you’re not trolling, there are yoyos that have street value or market value that dramatically exceeds MSRP. An easy example would be the peak that is for sale at this very second for $1,800. Other examples would be any Monkey Finger throw, any older G2 swirl, etc.
Collectors don’t necessarily care about how a throw plays, sometimes they collect for the art and the sheer rarity of the throw and that’s what gives them their value.
OK. I’m not sure what you mean when you claim this as scammer bait? I’m very confused as to what you’re implying. Am I the scammer? Are you concerned that people will try to scam me? Please help me understand.
That’s a dumb reason to call it scammer bait. Some people have extra cash lying around. I just offered someone 500$+ for a derlin yoyo, a ILYY P22. lol and just paid probably 10x retail for a mint OG bape which retailed at like 80-100$. Ill pay whatever to get my childhood yoyos back
I mean thats a bit aggressive. Im thinking more like a 97’ toyota carolla missing the front passenger seat and the left rim entriely. Still drives okay just a bit of vibe if youre moving due to the missing wheel. @adamantiumpops
