I have a YoYoFactory G5 that I am trying to sell that has a really low serial number on it #00035. I am trying to figure out the value of such an item. I feel like I am asking too if it were just any old G5, but I also feel like the low serial number should be adding to it’s value somewhat. Perhaps I am just marketing it to the wrong audience as a serial number would only be of value to a collector. Any info, advice or suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated! or if someone can point me in the direction of a forum or site that is more geared towards collectors that would be good as well… ---

It is worth what someone will pay you for it. Depending on condition and if you have the box, you may get $80-100 from a G5 collector but the average player 40-50. If you really want to sell it and it is MINT, put it on ebay for $50 starting price. Maybe you will get lucky and two collectors will fight over it. As for the number… I don’t think it is low enough to warrent a price hike. it was a 1, 5, 55, or 555, maybe, but not #35 ---

I own lots of early G5s. None of them are numbered. Can we see a pic of this one? Edit - Never mind. My eyes are bad. 🙂 ---

What kind of axle does it have? The original ones have a silver axle, with the towers being part of the axle rather then machined into the bodies. Don’t quote me on this but I think they stopped doing those because if you tightened the yoyo down too much it would mushroom out on either end and trap the bearing on the post. ---

It is an original for sure. It has a very finely threaded silver axle. > [@Schnayke](#): > > What kind of axle does it have?

Does it have a fat non threaded part in the center of the axle? like are both ends threaded but not the middle section? That is how the first release was. I think they used silver axles after that as well but the whole thing is threaded. I wish I could find a picture of that darn axle. ---

So like this? ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/3/0/330d6bf57e23762f69e1cbd4be996ee33734861c.jpeg) That’s a different yoyos axle, but that’s the general shape? ---
