Hello everybody! I have a huge collection of yo-yos since I had a little offline yoyoshop in Russia in 2010-2013. Here are some photos. I would like to sell everything in auction format, so suggest your prices. I can provide additional photos or videos.
Just FYI it looks like an 888x (so not an OG Aqua) with the shiny inner rim and newer packaging; it’s not an ‘07 because there’s no white laser etching around the hub stacks.
Thanks for the info. I dont have any history with 888. I recently picked up the 444 at the Scales Open and the hubstacks have me very interested. I want to own a piece of the 888 history.
888x’s tend to go for around $50, maybe a little more for this one since it’s aqua, but nothing crazy. ‘07 and ‘08 are where the nostalgia $$$ bombs tend to be, lots consider them their favorite versions. Not sure what the consensus is on ‘09s, I haven’t seen a lot of them. ‘11 is another highly enjoyed version because it returns to the ‘07 form with some improvements like a slight response bump. The Titanium 888 is also really loved because it plays like a mix of the best of the ‘07, ‘08, and ‘11 iirc.
The weights of Supernova can vary from about 66.5 gr. up to a maximum of 68 gr. (Jason Lee edition, for example) but the vast majority of the models produced are around 67 - 67.5 gr. … the circumstance derives from minor factors of production and from the type of aluminum used (6061 or 7075)
The Supernova you have that weighs 62.5 gr. is a derivative model, always retailed … the Supernova lite.
