I feel you though I’ve missed out on the past 3 g2drips cause of the caching issue and the 503 error or whatever…so seeing clowns like that bugs me a lil more than usual. hah! thanks man, i appreciate that… not sure if yye catches 503 errors, but i haven’t had any… > [@TurdFerguson69](#): > > If g2 was truly genius they would be the ones selling it.

The first bunch would sell out instantly because people love them but if you never saw them sell over retail in the coming months/years you would wonder if you need to jump on it in the future. Someone has to be the first to list over retail and if this sell it’s honestly great news for future limited releases of g2. as for this, it doesn’t matter to me either way. the overall market will determine the value, not one or two spikes. just because there’s a couple of pieces, doesn’t mean it’s going to be worth anything… just like if there are too many. the tivayder is a great example… anyone selling a tivayder less than retail, regardless of color, is out of their mind… it’s a friggin titanium yoyo… that’ is completely awesome! i can point to 20 aluminum monometal yoyos that are worth twice their value right now… then keep going… that were produced in the hundreds… 12 yoyos are sleepy seeds… even if they look cool ---

I don’t know what sleepy seeds means and google told me eye boogers. But I don’t think this yo-yo will sell for this and was just using it as an example. I could be super wrong on that. However I think on a run of 12 a single sale could really impacts how the other holders see the value of theirs especially if it’s on eBay where it’s visible. This yo-yo doesn’t have the significance to break the 200 barrier by any means. ---

See I’d say it’s the reviews and the people talking that are gonna be more of an influence, not the number made. Now, that’s not to say that the number of yo-yos made won’t affect the price, but reviews, and other manufactures, and pros all saying the same thing(assuming it’s positive) will cause the price of a yo-yo to go up faster, in larger increments, and in most cases actually be worth it…try and buy an O.G.

Hundred dollar yoyos should cost a hundred dollars… And then maybe a few years down the road; somebody will pay over retail if the yo-yo turns into a must have… Until then; when yoyos are deliberately released in tiny batches. The Urgency of having to have one, is just in your mind. FOLO… Fear of losing out. When fear controls your decisions; your wallet will be Forever thin. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/2/d/72dbce5d8ae794ca6e9f0ab4562a2fc05eb0c54a.jpeg) ---

Personally I don’t care. This has been a problem for ever. Also if you look hard enough you will find that elusive grail and if your lucky the Gent will sell or trade for a fair price. That’s been my experience for every high end throw I own. And I want to thank snacks for being one of those people. ---
