Fake Throws

I think It started off that way but this thread is now helping people get fake throws in the community and now that people hate a-rt they see no reason to not rip them off.

This thread has been pretty positive in wanting to try these models which I think is cool but now that we see people are absuing it, it’s a dangerous thread.

yeah i have no interest in a-rt throws in general now. I originally wanted a doorknob but even those that end up on the bst im ignoring now cause its just not an interesting brand at this point. The fact that there are a bunch of fakes out now just adds to the disinterest in certain throws.

@Niki as for the thread i think its a good thing still. if you didn’t see this but found those yoyos you would have thought maybe its just a reseller or something. folks that would buy the fakes will buy them regardless of this post and its not like we have links to those pages in here you have to dig for them a bit which if someone is doing then they would have done that anyway.

lets be honest… you weren’t gonna buy an a-rt before this thread but I do agree that the increased fakes out on the market have made me not want to purchase a-rt second hand ever and im the biggest a-rt fanboy.

I do agree with the second part and think this thread can still be useful but we need to keep it safe

Look, the specifications that it puts on the 420:


They are similar in appearance but different in specifications, it will be easy to distinguish a copy from the original :wink:

I think that’s incorrect and the dimensions are identical - in the Canvas listing they posted the same diameter and model name

any fake is likely not to meet whatever technical specs are listed. often QC is questionable with mass produced junk. Doesn’t mean its unplayable it can even occasionally turn out to be decent but usually these sorts of recreations are sloppy and poor imitations of the real thing.

I think that’s only applicable to cheap copies

Hopefully people here have enough yoyos not to bother adding unnecessarily, or see better deals for authentic yoyos on BST. No interest whatsoever for me. I’d rather save for something else rather than a novelty fake that might end up being passed to someone else as authentic.

How did you get so many photos of these fakes? This is the third one you posted now. How many are you planning to get?

I’m not sure if you understood what I told you before in the thread after you started accusing me of buying too many 420 :slight_smile: I don’t get your problem

edit

How many are you planning to get?

Just one 420?

I just want you want to enjoy your fake throw and don’t say anything about it

Sadly yo-yo is so poor that these things can’t be stopped

Due to legal action.

A-rt and other companies already strugglikg to make the smallest of margins are now given info on stuff like this.

Don’t be suprised when the only yo-yo companies still ask to function are yyf, Duncan or other Walmart type yo-yo companies

The days of botique companies and true love for yo-yoing is dying

If a-rt don’t want to make more runs with bigger batches and distribution through retailers, its their problem
