I can not be critical of anyone who is willing to pay out the cash for what ever it is they find valuable or meaningful.
I know this applies to me ( than throws
I feel people if people honestly look their purchase history they may realize in the grand scheme of things most of us have spent more on less. I know I have.
And for all of us who have purchased expensive throws in the past and are now seeing the price go up so high on similar throws. I do not know about the rest of you but it makes me feel even better I got mine when I did.
Just this morning I was thinking about how yoyo is the cheapest hobby I have.
My thought process would be "Which do I want, a $1000 yoyo, a new guitar, a Traxxas e-Revo 2 with upgrades, a new camera, a new iPhone, a new iPad, a M1 MacBook Air, etcā¦ I have to say, a $1000 yoyo would be last on that list.
I wouldnāt spend 1k on a black one when there are lightly used raw ones on the market for half that. Iād be willing to spend retail for the MGSS though. At least that one is different.
The Apogee is probably the best yoyo Iāve played. Itās incredible. Is it worth the price? No. Iām also never going to be good enough to actually need a yoyo that good. Itās a heck of a throw but unless you have already filled out the rest of your collection with different shapes etc I think your better off buying a bunch of less expensive yoyos.
LIke if I were you Iād buy some A-rt, some yoyorecreation, maybe a nice RSO titanium in the 3-400$ range.
I had the exact thought while I was cleaning my teeth last night. āCould you say it is better than 20 Shutters? Or plays 20 times better than a Shutter?ā
Totally. On the other hand Iāve got 3 reeeeally nice basses. Are they better than the 15+ really good Fender Pās or Jās I could have instead? To me they are, because they bring me joy and make me get stoked to play, but to lots of people itās just silly and totally unnecessary. Both/neither are right!
Anglams donāt tend to hold their value well so you could likely try to BST one for less than $1000. Iām not fully confident it would be the case for this one though but itās worth some thought.
@Theycallmecotton if youāre doing it for the content, I would suggest you think about the audience outside of this forum. ā$1000 yoyo vs. $10 yoyoā would probably capture the attention of a non-yoyoer, and thereās not many yoyo videos that do.
