So, the world’s most expensive yo-yo is being tackled today here on Blavish. Wanna know how much it sold for? Try $16,000. Not too shabby, eh?
Lemme throw a little history your way, yo-yos were actually invented by the Chinese back in, drumroll please,….2500 BC. Wowwy wow. But it was not an oldie that reached the height of being the world’s most expensive yo-yo. No, it was a newbie, a Cold Fusion yo-yo.
Made of airplane-grade aluminum, the Cold Fusion yo-yo was made using a ball-bearing axle & break pads for quick response. What makes this yo-yo stand out, besides the high grade aluminum, is that the longest recorded yo-yo spin was made using a Cold Fusion yo-yo. Wow, who knew?

I am going to need some links.
Also, the oldest DOCUMENTED evidence of a yo-yo in existence is 500bc in Greece. It is thought that the GREEK brought it to China, not the other way around.

Okay, I think I see the problem…
You copy and pasted from here:http://www.blavish.com/the-worlds-most-expensive-yo-yo/
which quotes (very badly) this post:http://thelongestlistofthelongeststuffatthelongestdomainnameatlonglast.com/expensive22.html
which is incorrect in almost every single way…
You know, I have really big problems with plagiarism, especially when you plagiarize something that is not accurate.

I decided to clarify for the Blavish crowd:
Okay, lets clear a few things up.http://www.metmuseum.org/
Spintime Record - Ref: American Yo-Yo Association (Of which I am a Board Member) http://www.yo-yo.co.za/records/index.php
Lastly the $16,000 Yo-Yo.http://www.yo-yos.net/Yo-yo%20history.htm . Lucky currently holds the Guinness World record for Largest Yo=Yo Collection
"Roy Acuff was a legend at the “Opry” having preformed there for over 50 years and part of his trademark act was doing yo-yo tricks. President Nixon took a couple of throws on stage with Acuff and a photos of this were released by the major media. Political cartoonists had a field day with the event. Nixon signed the yo-yo and presented it to Acuff. Years later the yo-yo was sold at the Acuff estate auction for $16,029.00 making this the world record price ever paid for a yo-yo. "
And there you have it.
