I have 80 yoyos at the moment. I honestly love every one for different reasons and I actually play all of them. I’ve owned 136, so I have no qualms about getting rid of a yoyo if I don’t love it or it starts to feel stale. It does feel excessive at times but I’ve resigned myself to the fact that I love yoyos and they bring me joy. So I try to practice anti-consumerism in other areas of my life.
its been a year and a half since i ignited this childhood craze, now with the power of internet and being single its crazy how fast you can build a list of wants, get some then add even more than before.
I got into it just over four years ago when I was working with kids and had more money so I bought at least one in every shape category and axle/bearing setup. I currently have 15 unless you count the ones for parts; That has me at 21.
I learned pretty quickly I’m more into the flow than I am the collecting. So I usually only buy them as souvenirs when I spot one.
