Are fools golds worth the money? I might get a fools gold glacier express
If you donât mind vibe or ano flaws then itâs worth it if you wanted a normal run Glacier Express then yes.
I have a Fools Gold that I donât even notice any vibe or flaws on. The vibe tends to be pretty small so I find FG to be an awesome deal unless youâre very picky.
@imperfectoo so it is worth the money if I wanted a normal run?
Theyâre a great deal, far better than the non-foolâs gold models.
Well if you are really wanting one and canât afford a Non-Fools Gold one and donât mind the very very little vibe or ano flaws then itâs worth it.
I like CLYW FG and I think it definitely worth it from my experience but if you want a perfect model then you should get a normal run. Usually the flaws are minor. I donât know if this factor into your decision but if you plan to sell or trade the normal run away later they are obviously worth more.
Thank you!
They are definitely worth the money.
Not much else to say
FG CLYW = good value
RRP CLYW = overpriced
I personally donât notice much difference between A-grade and FG versions. Theyâre both smooth enough and I quite like most of the FG engravings.
The latest glacier express FG run is VIBY. But it is clearly explained, and it plays great nevertheless. I played one this weekend.
Depends on your idea of value. Do you figure in whatnot costs to put a new non fools gold CLYW on the market? A fools gold is less expensive, but youâre not getting a perfect non flawed retail yoyo. If owning a CLYW is more important than some minor flaws then jump On the fools gold, but if you are interested in a perfect CLYW then pass and save up for the retail version.
Good luck with your choice and I look forward to hear about your happiness with your purchase!
Yes and no. Sure youâll obviously get less for a FG when you sell it, but you also paid substantially less. Iâve seen FG sell at or even above their original price numerous times, whereas youâre likely to suffer quite large amounts of depreciation on a full-price model.
The GE Foolâs Gold is apparently even vibier than most (like the âIll Vibesâ Avalanche run) but aside from that (or given the_dope_chaudâs mini review, regardless of that), FG is good value for money. Iâve played several, and nineteen times out of twenty if I didnât know they were FG I wouldnât be able to tell the difference.
Iâve played but donât own any FG CLWYâs. I agree with your observation. If it wasnât for the markings on the yoyo, Iâd have had no way of knowing it was a FG version.
I like it when CLYW puts the pick-axes on the FGâs. Wish theyâd put that on all their yoyos, FG or not.
Haha thatâs part of the reason I bought FGâs, I thought the engravings were killer.
Imagine how bland my Canvas would look without them (or my AC, for that matter).
I really dislike the new FG engravings.
Considering that 40% of my CLYWs are Foolâs Gold, Iâll have to agree with everyone here and say that theyâre well worth it.
Iâm glad Iâm not alone on the new engravings. Were they cool for the single run of Avas that they put it on the first time? Absolutely. Do I want them on EVERY FG? Absolutely NOT. Its way too busy. I really would like to pick up a few FG but I refuse to buy any of the newer ones with the huge FOOLS GOLD engraving. Bring back the pickaxes.
My guess is that Chris knows that the pickaxes look cool. The new engravings are for lesser grades, so heâs got to âugly them upâ, if you will 
Is that black one (sasquatch?) ano flawed in the cup? It looks wrinkledâŚ
I guess you could call it a flaw. Itâs actually powdercoated, though. But it was originally a FG Sas.
