Did it for fun-- might be interesting to see the collated data some day, and the more people responding the better!
TA is my top 5 favorite friends here and other places, so of course I took it! Haha!
2 of the yoyos in the top 5 are BEAT up, one is pretty dinged, and so onā¦
But for the ādingedā part, I wish I could have had the option of āI still love my yoyo even if its beatā or something to that affect.
I just did it to do it, Iām not quite sure what the whole thing is about/for LOLā¦
Again, TA, I would LOVE to organize a contest sometime, hit me up!
EDIT*
I got my best yoyo off a FHZ, THANKS MODMAN10!
This is interesting knowing for me Yoyo wise I have to buy all my yo-yos and save up my Money for one if I want it. Other than me wanting something on my birthday or other holiday of sorts like if itās not holiday I have to buy it on my own.
Same here!
I have to buy my yoyos. Except my old Turbo Bumblebee and my first good yoyo a PGM!
But, my parents wont really allow $100+ for a yoyo.
So even if I did get a ton of money, I would probably would get something like a Yeti/Rally or a metal in that range.
My most expensive order EVER was APROX. 63 shippedā¦
100 pack of string
Loop 360ās (pair)
2 ONEās for 3a
And some lateral capsā¦
I have been lucky yo achieve a Code 2. If Modman10 didnāt want a FHZ for a Avant Garde, my best yoyo would be a Duncan Mayhem.
Thanks to all you guys who responded. I can tell that things are working properly, because everyone who commented that they submitted, I got their entriesā¦and many more.
We are up to 66 responses, mostly from you guys who took the survey for kicks. This has been going less than 24 hours, but you will be pleased to know that so far, as a community here on the forum, we seem to have some pretty descent collections. As BC stated, it may not be the throws we have, but the condition, that starts to suffer. Most people can list 4 or 5 throws easy. I was able to find a match for the throws I have at least 3 times so far, but the folks who matched, just donāt have the need.
An overall report is generated for the stats. I donāt want to say too much here, because I donāt want them skewed, but I will post the results at the end. I donāt think too many of the popular answers will surprise you though.
Usually, when I give something away, Iām anxious to just do it. For this one, Iām going to be patient and really try to make the perfect match. If I can do that at least once, it will be awesome.
Havenāt yet taken the survey, so are we still allowed to take it just for fun? Or are we doing something odd to stats that you donāt want?
Sounds like this is going to turn out GREAT!
After this, TA, I have a fun idea, āfunā not contest really (maybe) who knowsā¦
TA youāre definitely right about the fact that the majority of us are happy with our collection. My top 5 are the majority of my collection and Iām still very happy. I guess thatās one really great part about yoyoing no matter what level your collection is at you can still throw have fun and be happy with it.
Anyone can take it. But you have to answer them according to your opinions, not to match a certain yoyo. (Unless your favorite yoyo fits every measurement weight and shape of your preference ;))
Yeah after this is done i would LOVE to see the statistics . And also thank you TA for doing such a thing. (999 posts lol)
Andy- Nah its around Thanksgiving, i feel like a proper post is in order
Double post-
WELL said!!
I could do all my tricks on a classic, and be happy. Or even doing the basics with a butterflyā¦
Just BS your 1000th like I did xD
Well, if I donāt find a match, the question becomes, what do I do next?
- Give to the folks who are all setā¦at least they matched. They need love too.
- Find a person with a need, who did not match. Chances are they will appreciate a non-preferred throw anyway. Hmmmā¦makes some sense.
- Post the forum stats from the survey, reveal the prizes, scrap this, and make a new contest.
Iām leaning toward #2 as a plan B. Iām hoping this goes the ideal way though.
I will definitely give you the stats too. I wonāt tell you what color is winning at this pointā¦yet. Someone might lie about their favorite color and skew my scientific data.
I say give it to someone in need over someone who matched. most people in need donāt really have enough throws to even know what their ideal is anyway.
My opinion here may be slightly biased.
ā¦or you organize a battle royale ;D
Point well taken. The term āneedā in this context is used rather loosely, because a yo-yo is never a need, but perhaps some of us could use a new/different throw or one in better condition, more than others. I am going through past posts of a few people, and their need is just relative to the majority. So far, I am observing very few who have nothing descent to throw. I find that good news, in fact. I donāt have something for everyone, just maybe a select few. If it comes to a plan B though, Iāve had a few PMs recommending a good candidate for a yo-yo. If anyone wants to drop a name in a PM, feel free.
I bet I can guess what color is winning
I think you should stick to your guns and stay patient like you said earlier. Give it a week. This is Thanksgiving break coming up so a lot of kids will be home and could stumble onto this post. Or some members could show the post to some friends who are just getting started throwing. Or club leaders or members could do the same and share the post with other members. I agree that Iād want to see you give this to someone who really canāt afford to purchase one.
I think this is an amazing show of generosity, btw. TA, youāre one of the good ones.
I owe you a PM. We all give in our own way. I just like to keep things creative, have a little fun, and find a way, other than selling/trading, to filter out some things that are not being used. So, it does serve a purpose for me too. Besidesā¦'tis the season. One of these items I bought with a contest in mind though. Hopefully, I will find a few throws just the right home. Iām acting as an agency, trying to find a home for a throw Whether itās new, or has a bit of damage, I know there is a home for it.
Iām going to try to be patient on this one though.
I submitted one for fun. I donāt think I should be picked because I have a job and as my girlfriend would put it āyoyo fundā, but I love this idea itās very generous.
