Only a few atm. I’m not against used, especially if they’re a good deal…it’s just that a lot of my collection has come through sales from online stores like YYE and Duncan. ---

I seem to have mostly new yoyos, but I very rarely buy any! Some of mine came from trading new stuff for the stuff I made. I kinda blacklist companies that ignore my emails for trade offers. Lol! ---

The only yoyo in my collection I currently own since new is my OD Benchmark 2016 O. Everything else is second hand. This is becvause yoyos cost a heck of a lot of money. ---

I bought brand new: Shutter and Replay that were my first two unresponsive, and I didn’t even know about BST yet. Retic Burm and Atra. Ti Vayder (though technically this was a wedding present from my wife). Fallen44 Fixie. And some B grades (delrin Wedge and Komodo). Everything else I own came from BST or gifts (probably 20 more yoyos). ---

Initially I bought new but as time has gone I’ve either bough b grades, open box, used or really really good sales. Some of my favorite and best yo-yos are from BST and have the best bearings I’ve ever used. ---
