Thanks Linksâ. I know youâve had a ton of throws go through your hands. It requires having the art of trading down to a science. Youâve developed an elite level of sophistication at it 
Iâm sure it requires the hunt, knowledge of what everything is worth, and having enough worthy of an even trade on hand, at all times.
This thread is always a good read, and my slick way of finding out who has some valuable goodies. I doubt youâll part with the Ti Walkers, but you knowâŚif you ever do, feel free to get at me. 
^ Very nice list here. You have a Peak collection going, will you continue along those lines, or stop collecting Peaks here?
I have a good chunk of throws, but I am a natural low baller. If anybody has done a deal with me they know it.
Wolf lake peak (170)
Purple mountain majesty ($160)
Aman model 10 (140) x3
Then the rest are sub 130.
I need to go buy a yyr!
There are quite a few others I would like to own but I have no desire to pay the fairly crazy prices for themâŚplus they never pop up anyway. I sold the Bearing Gull a while ago, was an impulse buy and not a must-have Peak colorway for me. If the right offer came along for the 28 Stories Iâd sell it but Iâll probably keep the Frozen Mammoth forever.
Iâm actually down to 24 metal modern yoyos as of this moment with my only doubles being 2 Chiefs and the 2 Peaks. Trying to cut down to at least 18 or so and avoiding doubles/hoarding at all costs. With fewer and fewer exceptions, if I donât throw it regularly (and love how it plays), I feel comfortable trying to sell it. There are some absolutely amazing looking Peaks out there though.
- Oxygene Ti 2011 ($350 from the BST)
- sOMEThING Anglam ($250 with discount)
- sOMEThING Anglam CC ($220)
- YYR Draupnir (a little over $200 after exchange rate conversion)
- YYF Ricochet, iridescent purple ($200)
- YYF Ricochet, silver ($170 with discount)
7-8. YYF Stargazer and YYF Attune ($190 each)
9-10. C3 Berserker and C3 Berserker RX ($180 each)
Then after that, itâs just a big string of YYR and Turning Point that I picked up with discounts.

The most Iâve ever spent on a yoyo is probably $100. $120 tops. BST FTW! Thatâs probably going to change sometime this year though

Whatâs deep is that a lot of people would consider having 18 yo-yos or a case full of toys excessive or a hoard. For me, itâs based on what I can afford, and what I have room to store. I guess the definition and purpose of a âcollectionâ can vary. I think when you have more than one, you already entered the realm of excess to some degree. Youâre right that itâs up to you to set the bar. Some young people only have a bedroom for personal storage, so space is limited. Those of us who own a house could have a yo-yo room if we wanted to take it there. I could see myself having a quarter of a closet somedayâŚthat would be cool.
I always try to buy what I want to keep, and stay away from things I canât afford in the first place. What becomes a player varies for me slightly over time. I change out mains and retire old ones when something better comes along. The old retired ones are usually gifted and rarely even sold if itâs worth my time to list it. Iâm building a few new cases this weekâŚfor more room. ;D
Throw rich!
Totally agree, itâs one of those things that is definitely relative.
As far as my âcollectionâ went, it wasnât that I couldnât afford to have 100+ high end yoyos and continue acquiring new ones so much that it was just a gradual acceptance/realization that I play so few of the ones I have that I simply donât need to be picking up every release (or spraying my money like a fire hose across the BST every time I saw something sort of neat) and that having cases full of yoyos sitting in my closet that I rarely/never threw after a week of owning them brought me no real enjoyment that the 18ish I plan to keep at the moment donât bring me already.
These days it is exceptionally rare that a yoyo I havenât played in a while goes from underwhelming me to wowing me. Blink, AC, Cascade, Dietz, AL 7 Quake, Bonfire and others were pretty much love at first throw, Quake took a couple hours but hasnât left my favorites since. I feel pretty confident listing something on the BST and sticking it in my case until I pack it up to send it away after a day or two of owning it at this point.
I am definitely a natural born hoarder and shopping addict so the biggest issue was just convincing myself that it would really be okay if I no longer owned many of the ones I never touched and rarely looked at and that I would totally be okay if I didnât compulsively buy 10+ yoyos a month. My Peaks are a remnant of my hoarding/shopper self, I rarely pick them up and after a few minutes of play I generally tire of them. If they didnât look super awesome, if the same colorways were available on other models or if they would be easy to acquire again if I sold them, I would sell them both in a heart beat. I pray for the day that CLYW brings a 28 Stories that looks like the 2nd run Peak, Frozen Mammoth, Clown Towns, Chesterman Beach and some other amazing colorways only seen on the Peak to its current and future models so that I can confidently put these Peaks in the hands of a real collector who will get a great deal more satisfaction out of locking them up than I do.
The awesome thing about yoyos is that there are so many ways to enjoy purchasing, owning and playing them for just about every person out there of pretty much any income level

@ yopingusâŚAll the old schoolers will get a chuckle from this pic. You should have gone up on the offerâŚcause everybodyâs got a price.
@ ElluzionâŚNice list. I have to modify my prices later, I didnât pay actual retail price for the Ricochets, so I got of easy I bought them during sales.
how you liken that paranoid Iâm loving mine right now!
I just ordered it last night! Should be here in a few days!! I cant wait is yours polished or blasted abby?
I think polished because I was comparing it to my Di base i have to get a general idea on what it feels like. plus itâs a splash so Iâm not sure (I suck at the tiny details in the Yoyo)
