About 175 but could live with one 36 case. I gave away about 40. I want a bunch to keep as give aways as they are great starters and good in general. I am now cycling through about a dozen and have been throwing the same 12 for several months. ---

Everything but the Deep State, because when I went to gather them, I couldn’t find it, lol. I slimmed things down a while back out of a need for cash, and the silver lining was having a collection of what I enjoy the most getting played regularly. Time to go track down the Deep State, it’s feeling like a conspiracy trying to find it. ![PXL_20221119_211654837~2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/f/7/0f7ef1dcba616c4a7f8a338ca96ae5f0fce850e7.jpeg) ---

The only ones in my collection that don’t get played regularly are Butterflies and XT’s. They’re pretty much a display piece on my desk at this point and I would gladly give any of them away if someone showed interest. I have a Whip that satisfies my needs when I’m craving something responsive. All of my 1A throws get almost daily play. I’ve only got a dozen or so and I have ADHD, so it’s not unusual for me to run through the whole collection in a single session. Edit: I should add, I did have some in the past that I didn’t play with much and ended up trading or selling them off. ---

i’ve got about 60 and i don’t play about 5-10. these 5-10 are models I just did not like but was not able to sell for a justifiable price or trade so they sit. some only get played a couple times a year but I generally rotate at a decent frequency though it’s completely random based off my vibe for the day. Sometimes I do the “throw a couple combos and switch throws” dopamine chasing routine but mostly I grab a throw and that’s the throw of the day. Bonus points i’m throwing UNPRLD Recognition today ![316191567_1858014444576989_8670972836206395986_n](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/a/5/8a5794c39d030e73a1dd05405d3a6cbc975ed581.jpeg) ---

A while back, I started saving boxes from my yoyo orders. One day I started putting up yoyos I didn’t play with much. Good throws, just not my favorites. After that, I put up yoyos that filled similar roles to others I liked better in my collection. For example, the Markmont Classic is my fav full sized organic, but I had 2 or 3 yoyos that were also full sized organics that just didn’t get much play. It honestly was fun selling yoyos to people who were gonna appreciate them more. Well over a quarter of my collection ended up on the bst. It’s honestly so much more satisfying having a collection of yoyos I absolutely love, vs a mix of great and mid (to me) throws. ---

Ok so I agree markmont classic is my all time fav throw I edc’d one for about 6 months!!! But I have way more than I need I do try about 2/3 times a year to pull everything out and throw a good chunk of them. There are a few yo-yos I will probably not let go of mainly one drops because I also enjoy the aspect of collecting them! ---

Every one of my yo-yos gets the exact same amount of playtime. Zero. ---

I have 36 post-THP yo-yos, with a 37th on the way, and I currently don’t throw any of them. I tend to use yo-yoing as a form of procrastination so I decided to stop it until I complete my latest project I’ve been slow on. I’ve also decided to “lock” the yo-yos I’ve purchased but haven’t played (besides immediately testing them for vibe), so I can unlock them as I accomplish more. I have 16 of those because I have impulse control issues, lol. It’s actually been a great motivator. I’ve been working a lot harder and with more urgency now that I know a DD Kanto is waiting for me on the other side. ---

The question I find confusing, my wife tried to explain it but I couldn’t understand what she was saying. I don’t have any for long. Every year about this time I’ll drop off yoyos and relatively inexpensive guitars along with other stuff at the Children’s Home in Sacramento ---

I have around 50 between London and Italy, some of them I do not play them or some of them only when I am in Italy (left them in my parents house), but generally I do like to play with most of them and some other I can’t sell them for a good price so just stay there at home, I would say that I like to try new models every now and then sometimes is a fail and sometimes is a great discover, I believe is all part of the process [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/how-many-yoyos-do-you-own-but-never-play/366117.md?page=1)
