Ummm, no it’s not ok. It’s not up for debate here.
Contact Duncan for details.
(Or Steve Brown can fill in the blanks too.)

@Steve Brown

Nope. Can’t sell them, no matter what you call them. Sorry.

@Steve Brown

Doesn’t matter what you call them, you are selling them for the purpose of being used as counterweight, which is illegal unless you license the patent from Duncan.

The very general wording seems to make it very inclusive. You could sell them as other things, but the moment you people start using them as counterweights on anything but a 4A yoyo you could be sued.

Re: Selling DICE, are there problems with that?

Sooo, the short answer is NO, you can’t.
Case closed.
