There is a weekly flea market where I live, and I’m always looking for yo-yos on the tables full of junk. I have found a few there over the years. Previously my best find was a $1 Playmaxx Turbo Bumble Bee. Yesterday I think I beat that with a $4 Duncan Litening…
Any thoughts on what a Lightning in this condition may actually be worth? I don’t plan on selling it, just curious. It will be displayed next to my Flores.
Killer find dude! Never been THAT lucky… But found a pink jeweled Cheerio. I think I gave 4 bucks for it. Ended up giving it to a buddy, and haven’t found another Cheerio that played as well as that one since…
Still hoping to find a Cheerio! A lot of people just look right past these old yo-yos, but they are still so much fun to mess with. I have a few old Imperials that play noticeably better than others.
Freaking score! I love frequenting antique malls and flea markets and am always on the hunt for YoYos but usually come up pretty empty handed or they are usually non exciting things like imperials and butterflies that are marked at retail prices lol.
That’s what I find most often. I take pictures of all the ones I find for the most part even if I don’t buy them. Started a “yoyo hunting” highlight reel on my ig. It’s fun to find them in the wild even when it’s an overpriced imperial I don’t buy lol.
