Flea market find got me like whoa

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…

I know these valuations are kind of all over the place but here is a snippet from the Museum of Yo-Yo History:

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.

What have you found at the flea market?

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.
