I personally don’t think this is going to work out, but you do what you think is right, go for it. ---

If your planning to sell these, it’s going to be vary hard, as you have no reputation, are new to this, and don’t mass produce like companies like yoyo factory, therefor your prices are going to be high. ---

First of all… did you get your design on CAD software that can be used on cnc? Also… I know this because I am little close to the owner of yoyoplanet, if you want to actually make a yoyo that people will like and you want to sell them at yoyoexpert or something. It would take alot of money. He spent about $4000 to get everything perfect, and even if you get everything perfect you are not going to make much money out of it. Many of “minor” companies make yoyo as there second job or hooby because you cant really make much out it. And if you get everything going, you would find out why you cant make alot of money… ---

> [@BuddhaFusion](#): > > well im making about 10-15 first run I’m gonna sell to the local people around be and give the first ones to my team members and get feed back on how good they were and if they like em im gonna make like 30 and sell em over the internet. The guy who said he’d make them said no problem but he’s not gonna be back fromo his trip to germany till 2nd week in June so I have time to plan things. I spoke with some guys at the shop in an attempt to give you some more info, and ithicus is right when he says they charge good for their time, and including start-up and shut-down time that could add a hefty price to your yoyo, if you were making one. if your making 30 the start up and shutdown time will be divided between the price of 30 yoyos, making it much more cost efficient, especially if you provide the CAD design and material. if your planning to go that route and sell them then you will have your difficulties along the way but i hope things at least can break even for you. if you are successful let us know, i want to see a pic at least.
