It’s only a problem if you won’t use them :wink:

But if you’re able to put them through their paces, then the yoyos are going to a good home :smile:

That’s some rapid collecting, but it looks like you got some great ones and some style variety. Just need a wood or two.

The only issue is that having too many throws (as I do), you waste time buying, setting up, fussing over instead of playing. It’s a sickness and the only cure is playing (I hope)!

Sounds amazing! Great selection to choose from and learn on! This would have been my dream as a child… I must still be a child :blush:

May want to add a 4a yoyo in there like a flight for even more fun :wink:

Hm.
There should be some reasons for doing that.

Well, to be honest, I do know that I have an issue… this happens with other stuff in life too. I go into any hobby balls first!!! If I stick with it, I learn my likes and dislikes and go deeper. Eventually, I learn what I like and don’t like and then I sell stuff. That usally means that I just lost a lot of money. However, sometimes I return to a failed hobby, but something else is what caused the new hobby to fail.

I did this with guns and now I have a practical collection with massive money loss. Also with Scuba, Drums, Paintball, Golf, Tennis, Dj Equipment, Motorcycles, Playing cards, Bibles, and Ham radio… I am sure that I forgot something on that list. I now have the perfect/practical Dj setup, Golf, Tennis, Drum, and gun collection. No more Suba, Paintball, or Motorcycles… Everything else is still a problem and I need to sell some stuff.

P.S. Anyone looking for Magic/trick playing cards?

Yeah, I’m kinda the same way. It’s how I also ended up with so many yoyos in so short a time.

But the way I see it, it’s not a “problem” unless you can’t really afford them and that money desperately needs to be allocated to something else in life.

I know the feeling…anyone want a knife? (My other hobby)

Yoyos are at least cheaper than knives and audiophile stuff…just have to be careful that doesn’t mean I buy a lot more of them.

Well, this is kinda where it gets real… I know that I have plenty of stuff to sell that I don’t use. Even some stuff to return that we bought at Christmas and didn’t open. Also, tax time is good with 5 kids… I think I am at a good stopping point with buying yo-yos :wink: Now, I earn them with practice. Hopefully, my kids will love it when they grow up. My oldest is 7.

My wife also doesn’t know I’ve been spending 100-150$ CAD on yo-yos every 2 weeks for the past 5 months :sweat_smile: and STILL have a lot im paying a buddy for until I pay him off ,hopefully by March :joy:

I don’t think I’d have a wife anymore IF she found out :joy::joy::joy:

The way I see it is , As a recovering opiate addict who’s been clean for 10 years I wasted SO MUCH money on garbage I have absolutely NOTHING to show for , so spending my hard earned money on a hobby that genuinely makes me happy is a win :sweat_smile: plus I can sell em one day IF I so choose :joy:

Brother! Praise God for the accomplishment! I know this could be difficult. My only addiction in life has been yoga pants/girls and buying shiny/blinky stuff… At least my kids will have an awesome start! divide my entire collection by 6 (including me) and it is almost not enough :wink:

If I’ve learned anything from my increasing pool of divorced friends it’s that the foundation to a long and happy marriage is lying and hiding information. :laughing:

That’s sarcasm. …or is it? :thinking:

Thanks buddy :grin: it’s the best decision I’ve ever made :grin: as hard as it was , life only opens up after you let go , and that goes for ANY addiction

Oh yea I also have to thank you personally for snagging that Sakura & Battosai :joy: they “were” in my pile of throws to pay off BUT I had to tell my buddy to try and sell em because the dollar amount of what I had to pay off was getting pretty high :joy::joy::joy:

The only problem here is how jealous I am haha… Seriously though, I am curious what you do for a living :crazy_face:

I actually work for the department of defense, but I have five kids and my wife doesn’t work. If you had access to my checking account, you would tell me that I am a complete moron! Let’s just say PayPal pay in 4 and PayPal credit can get me into trouble…

P.S. this confession is getting serious :wink:
