Incredibly Looney Listings

3 Likes

New listing… Incredibly rare, green, pink camo, classic mark yo-yo for sale.

Asking price is a partridge in a pear tree… The power ring from lord of the rings… A petrified pickle, preferably purple from the Daian era of quadrant five area seven… And a titanium holy Grail from art, preferably, signed in blood by Charles himself during a full moon….

This yo-yo is Brand New… Never taken out of the box…. Except for photos… Never thrown… spins long and zero vibe(I guess?)…And Never touched by inhuman hands.

Not a Yo-Yo yet, as it could be turned, but reminds me of that Sandler movie

Only a cool $3,000,000 :gem:, raw

On the BST it would be F&F or pay the fees

You could make a yo-yo out of that. I bet @kyo could.

You can buy a whole bag full of “raw” diamonds at the hardware store in the bab-b-que department. I’m sure you could barter them down to a fraction of $3 million for the whole bag.

I’m watching that auction and waiting. That colorway of MMC was seared into my brain the first time I saw it. Will the seller fold and drop the price, or will I fold and make a stupid decision?

$131.99….

PS…. I have a never ending fascination with how people love those ‘nines’.

One thirty one 99. Instead of just $132/even

$399.99…….< Wow! Less than $400!

$1K For a Dingo, “Maybe The Dingo Ate Your Baby?” This one is historic though…

“This is an ultra rare One Drop Yoyos Dingo from 2009, in pristine condition. This Yo-Yo has been kept in a padded case most of its life while periodically being a display item. It has been minimally thrown over carpet and has never touched the ground. The aluminum is blemish free and its appearance is exactly as it was when it left the One Drop factory. The color is an extra rare clear anodized finish and the original box is also included. This yoyo is a must-have for collectors and will be unique addition to any collection. Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of yoyo history!”

I cant believe i had never realized this thread existed! Its so fascinating!

Do y’all think maybe its just a bunch of collectors selling to each other and they have created their own sub market? Cuz I have to believe anyone with half a brain would google any item before spending hundreds or thousands on it.

Like what casual just walks by and sees a yoyo, of all things, and thinks to themselves they want to drop 1K on a dingo without even knowing what they are buying? :laughing: Anyone that loves yoyos enough to buy at the high price points knows pretty damn well what the yoyos are worth…

Then again people do pay ridiculous money for trading cards, so… :man_shrugging:

1k is out of touch for sure, but I could easily see a mint clear dingo going for 2-300$

I agree 100%, but as in the listing description…

The denying of oneself play to preserve the pristineness of such throw is where the true price lies.

Not sure these prices are geared toward collectors. Collectors would have their finger on the pulse of the Market.

Now a Nostalgic Adult looking for their Childhood Dream/Memory could pay the inflated price. It wouldn’t be about the item, but the remembrance of the Feeling. Like Toys from the 80’s are insane.

I’ve not kept up with this thread and I don’t know if this has been shown before but I was so dumbfounded by this when I saw it…I just knew it belonged here.

I love the way it says….’+$13.50 shipping Free’

It just seems so interesting that someone willing to sell a $10 yo-yo for $1000 or more would be generous enough to throw in shipping for free.

I would find it more understandable if the yo-yo cost $10 but the shipping was $1100 because the guy lived on the international space station. That would at least make some kind of sense in a looney world.

When I started this thread three or four years ago, I knew there would always be a looney listing For someone to post up

But I honestly never envisioned that people seem to be getting nuttier as we go along.
