I can understand that Jake doesn’t want G2 to succeed away from quality. To get to that point where in order to move more units, the quality has to drop a bit, and then the consensus within the community becomes, “They are still good, but not as good as the legendary yoyos of G2’s early days before becoming a ‘big’ producer.” That is an all-too common story (in business in general).

Oh for sure… @G2_Jake has paid his dues over the years and has the reputation to prove it! Someone just starting out with a new yoyo company would have it much tougher.

> The magic number to make yoyo profitable is 500 yoyos per run. After 500 your cost for the actual yoyo are cut almost in half compared to 100 or 200

I am embarking upon … a project … and I am keeping this number in mind. 🤞

Did you have any thoughts to add here @NeoHamster on your experiences with Sengoku?
