Here is another Winner. Kinda surprised me, because I don’t often notice any of my Signature yo-yos coming up on EBay? Well, I don’t look everyday, but when ai do/or/have, I seldom see Mo-yoze ‘for bucks’.
But I found a few tonight, lol. I’m only pushing up an image of the one because the other one which is the exact same color way combination, is only a couple bucks difference in price.
The seller even says that the yo-yo has cracks all around the edges from aging. If I could sell every crack, yo-yo jam that I currently have in my possession for prices like that, if I put all the money in my wallet, I could sit down and be taller than I am standing up. That’s how thick my wallet would be.
OK guys… I’m not drawing a conclusion because maybe it’s an optical illusion or something of that nature, the lighting whatever
But unless I am seeing things, those are certainly some cracks that I have circled in the image. I’m gonna post up in this reply.
Personally, I love dark magic. I always have since the first one and I got one of the first ones. And I still have several of them. I even have two pink ones. You don’t see those very often or at least I don’t?
Anyway, here’s the image. And even though I like dark magics and I think blue is one of the more rare colors that was available. I seriously don’t think that suckers worth 185 bucks.
The yo-yo I just posted it up as having what I think is a supernatural price, I went back and checked it out again
Something interesting at least to me that I found at the same time a conundrum. Because to me from what I see, either the same yo-yo is being put up for sale by three different individuals? Or all three are just using the same images?
Which is obviously shady either way. Because if they’re all selling the same yo-yo, then they must be affiliated by some yo-yo selling cartel or whatever?
And if the second and third ads for the same yo-yo bottle in the same color way, were inspired by the price of the first yo-yo put up for sale, then they should be using the specific photos of the yo-yos they have up for sale.
Instead of using the same exact images.
Can anybody offer their view on what they think is going on here?
All three ads show that the sellers have different numbers of transactions. What has about 1000 something and what has 202 and what has 600 and some?
Anybody have any thoughts of what kind of shenanigans are going on here? I’m posting up three screenshots so you guys and girls get see what I’m talking about. And I’m not trying to leave anybody out. Whatever your pronouns are I don’t care. More power to you. I don’t want anybody to think I’m not recognizing them by just saying guys are girls.
They are trying to sell a yoyo thats already on sale on a japanese reselling website. All of them trying to sell that yoyo.
If its gone by the time their own listing sells Im guessing they cancel the sale or something.
Pretty much. They know the NA/EU market likely won’t look at whatever Japanese site it’s listed on, so they list it on, so they repost it on eBay, and if it sells they will likely just buy it from the Japanese site and have it shipped to the US/EU buyer
US$ 1,426.83, but you would need a proxy to purchase which would have a fee plus shipping overseas. The eBay seller is trying to make $1k off of their efforts
But, people that gamble on ‘others’ gullibility’ or ignorance of actual fair/current prices on yo-yos considered collectible, are just plain Scalpers.
And when yo-yos like this or overvalued and somebody’s desperate enough or maybe that’s the last yo-yo to complete their Caribou Lodge collection then if they got deep pockets, I understand somewhat.
But if a yo-yo like that sells anywhere near that price, then personally, my opinion would be that it establishes an unrealistic value for future reference. Because some other clown will say hey I wasn’t gonna sell this, but I got one just like that one that went for 2500 and I’m willing to sell mine for 2000 free shipping. And you can’t justify an overbloated sale price when it’s time to clean out your closet.
That’s actually a pretty good yo-yo. It’s really funny thing is I use that exact yo-yo as a paperweight on my desk at work, lol. I don’t even worry about anybody stealing it because nobody where I work actually yo-yos anyway. But when I saw that listing, when I posted, that’s why I made the remark I did. Because I thought oh man, where are some of these people‘s heads that? Now the direct seller OK he names whatever he wants to name. He’ll hold that sucker hostage and make someone pay for it.
But those other vendors that are trying to factor themselves into the mix and make that extra thousand? As far as I’m concerned, they can suck the wrong end of a garden hose.
For 99.9 percent of yo-yo people, that is not even close to the value of the asking price
