Fake Throws

General Yo-Yo
1

This thread lists most of the fake throws created up to date as the circulation of these in BST can cause uncertainty for some trades.

  • If you’re worried about your trade, use the Imgur links to see the closeups and compare these with your throw as most differences can be identified from laser engravings, surface finishes and machine cuts.
    If you’re still worried, feel free to send me a message and I’ll see what else I can find to help.
  • Disclaimer: I’m not the seller or creator for these throws, and pls don’t ask me to buy for u :slight_smile:
  • By all means, fakes are imperfect and can be identified, so please don’t buy or sell fakes…

Indeed, but for dazzler and draupnir it is identifiable just through images because of the engraving.

Ahh I see your point. Japanese and Chinese are quite similar so it’s confusing :slight_smile:

We share the same currency symbol (¥) and character (元). So the prices are in Chinese Yuan.

I mean either way this is more helpful than harmful if you are in the market to buy these yoyos, as it shows what the fakes look like.

My question is- who is out here putting all this effort to reproduce yoyos🤣 whhhyyyy
Like how much are they really making in profit? How many are actually floating around?

Chinese dudes. No offence to chinese yoers or chinese people in general. Production in China is pretty cheap, so for them it is quite profitable, at least in small numbers.
