Fun hypothetical question

If you had $1k just pop into your wallet one day to spend ONLY ON YOYOS AND YOYO RELATED STUFF, what would you buy? If there’s a deeper meaning then “just because” then it’d be cool to add that too.

Edit:
Didn’t add this initially cuz, as we all know, this is a super important question and I needed time to come up with my answer lol. I’d get 2 miracles, another 2 autoscopies, a shutter evo, 10 pixel bearings, and finally a 100pk of yellow Sochi string xl which should leave me with like, -$10, but I mean, that’s a pretty small margin lol

As many of these as $1k gets me

How many butterfly would that get me?

Honestly 1k I would drop on some other skill toy stuff kendama, deadeyes, knuckle rollers, etc however I would probably also buy some more absurd yo-yos. Heavy, odd shapes and concepts like the yofo and such.

Ohh I would probably buy the rest of the dif e yo collection. You know silly things if I got 1k to blow.

Realistically any extra money would go to bills…

Well I think that gets me every FH I want, pretty much every Klondike colorway that’s available now or that we know of, I think I’m pushing it at that point but maybe throw me some CWs, obviously string, lube etc

Maybe id by 1 or 2 yoyos around the 100 mark but probably just spend most of the 1k on strings.

I’d cop

coglite ($100)
Mono Pheasant ($50)
Seiji ($125)
Grasshopper GTX 2 ($80)
Genesis 2023 ($50)
Miracle ($160)

The rest can go to spare bearings, pads, strings, and a case.

If you hypothetically were going to drop that much cash on yoyo in a single go, I would’ve assumed everybody would be offering it all up as a crazy offer to get some collection grails

Get some Anti-Yo, get a cool OG Peak, get a Canvas, get a titanium. Something that would never normally be obtainable for you because of a prohibitive price. Whatever yoyo you wanted as a kid, but couldn’t afford for retail as a child, and now has an aftermarket price you can’t justify spending on an old yoyo as an adult.

That’s a lot of strings

For 1k could probably corner the market in small batch boutique string for a bit.

Okay okay…serious, actual answer:

Am I starting from scratch? If so…

  • 1 BBB Klondike
  • 1 28S Klondike
  • 1 Rewind Klondike (or a silver one if one ever comes out)
  • 1 GTR-JS
  • 1 IQ
  • 1 Spotlight Ultra
  • 1 Dopamine
  • 1 Hybrid Fulvia
  • 1 Plastic Fulvia
  • 2 Loop 720s
  • 1 FH1

That’s about ~$940 in yoyos (retail but pre-tax, I ain’t about to calculate tax rn lmfao), with the leftover dough I’d grab an NSK Platinum and some Sochi Fat string.

If I’m not starting from scratch/am just adding on to my existing collection:

  • 1 BBB Klondike
  • 1 Rewind Klondike
  • 1 Tiffany Mint Klondike

Would use the rest ($600ish) for a Canvas or Magnum.

I want one of those zgrt backpacks, maybe some really old Duncan’s and a Flores. But I think it would be fun to buy a ton of beginner yo-yos and give them away to every kid in my sons school.

I’d buy in-person yoyo lessons so I could advance. New yoyos and strings and bearings won’t help me or make me happier at all.

I’d prob just get 2-3 throws I’ve parted with over the years and miss (spyy, anti-yo, clyw?).
OR on the off chance I could find an Aspen No Jive, that’d be a no brainer.
