Welcome to my BST thread! I’m on a quest to own one of each One Drop yoyo, and I also have a few special colours that I’m looking for. Any help is massively appreciated!
Trades
One Drops that I might be willing to trade if you’ve got something from my wants list:
- Benchmark Series 2016, O shape - nickel plated (badly scratched/ rims, plays fine to me)
- Deepest State - Stay Gold America / NQP Spacious Skies half swap (NMTBS)
- Intro - Purple / Black half swap (NMTBS)
- CafeRacer - Blue / Green half swap (some minor damage)
- Mantis - Clear (Mint?)
- Kraken - Saturday Market (mint?)
I would be willing to trade these for another colour of the same yoyo (for more specific details see One Drops I need more of below):
- Par Avion - Brown
- Panorama - Eugene Market (Darker)
Looking for…
Looking to buy a wide variety One Drops, listed meticulously below.
I’m often flexible about colours; but as a general rule I’m not particularly interested in Saturday Markets (I have too many), and I don’t really like nickel plating unless it’s blasted. I am very interested in trying a silver plated One Drop though, so hit me up!
High Priority
I’ve been searching for some of these for many years without success. Any of them would be a major & awesome addition to my collection.
-
Project 2 (or M1) - Worlds 09 Edition AKA Blue Marble. These were made for WYYC 2009 (Worlds Yoyo Contest 2009). Maybe there’s still one out there somewhere. Willing to sell my kidneys on the black market to afford one… haha…
-
Dietz - any splash.
-
CODE2 - one of the Argonaut colours, or Star Collision, or silver plated.
-
Sovereign. Willing to pay a good price for one that hasn’t been sparked or majorly damaged. I don’t really care if it’s numbered, but the numbered ones did come with a Novus, which is something that I’m also interested in.
-
Novus - any. I’m not overly hopeful that I’ll find one, but it would be really nifty for keeping cat hair out of my nicknacks. If anyone has either of the Novus Add-Ons, I will pay top dollar!
-
Benchmark Series 2014, W / H / O shape - any colour; especially Watermark).
-
Dingo - Cherry Blossom. Was kinda cheated out of one of these a bit ago, so I’d really like to find another one to fill the pink void in my heart. May also be interested in other fancy colours.
-
Marquis - titanium. Haha… ha…
Prototypes
Prototypes
I really love prototypes for their unrefined and esoteric qualities—ones which you seldom find in a finished yoyo, and for being able to see the evolution a yoyo goes through from its first draft to the finished product.
- Summit 2 First Draft. Really eager to try one of these out.
- Z proto. This is like a modern prototype grail for me on the same level as the original HALIFAX.
- Still Rollin Heavy proto.
- Format:C Gen 2 Flat Face proto.
- Artifact Prototype. Anyone with more information about what exactly these are (e.g. colours, how/when they were sold), please step forwards!
- SK proto.
- Prototype Vanguard.
- Rally Prototype. The Rally is very special to me, so the prototype is of particular interest.
- Any more Cascade Protos.
- Dietz Prototype (HALIFAX). What would a list of prototypes be without the legendary HALIFAX prototype? Incomplete.
- Other One Drop prototypes!
Normal Priority
-
Citizen. I would probably love this yoyo to bits. Willing to pay a decent price for one in good condition, maybe a bit less than for a Sovereign.
-
CODE1 - any splash or fade.
-
Cascade - any splash, solid blue, or silver plated. Must have the Cascade engraving. Also interested in the GZR version.
-
Benchmark Series 2013, O shape - any colour.
-
Prescription - any splash, ideally Evolving Pathogen.
-
Kamuraiju - Pearl White Cerakote. Really want to try this different Cerakote finish. It looks really shiny and I bet it’d feel good to play with.
-
Burnside - any splash except Emerald Valley. Also interested in the GZR version.
-
OD x CLYW Summit - any splash. Would like to find a good deal on this one.
-
Trillium. I passed on these back in the day because they were so expensive. Now I have a bit of envy for people with one, but I have more money to pay off that envy with.
-
Valor - any splash (especially Autumnal Night). Must have the engraving.
-
Gradient - silver plated.
-
Top Deck - any splash, solid, UV Cerakote (especially Pink/Green UV Swarm Cerakote), or Yellow on Black Cerakote. Solids must have the engraving.
-
OD x MFD Fire Devil - any splash.
-
DANG - any splash.
-
OD x CLYW Wooly MarkMont - Obsidian or regular nickel. Ideally unpolished and in fair condition. Contrary to popular belief, I am interested in one, but unlike the rare unicorns on this list I am only willing to pay a reasonable price for this one. Maybe 400–600 on a good day.
-
Benchmark Series 2016, H shape - any colour.
-
OD x Toxic Strings T1 20/20 - any splash.
-
Perspective - bright or vibrant colours (ideally half swapped), or Cerakote.
-
OD x OhYesYo Eclipse - any splash except Morning Dew.
-
Nitro - Black/Silver Fade, or maybe Saturday Market.
-
Panorama - 藤 (the right one), or Weekend Stadium. I have a Eugene Market (Darker) one that I’d be willing to trade for a different colour of the same yoyo.
-
Fat Tire - any fancy colour; especially Orion, Swamp Ooze, Pink/Teal Fade, YYE Edition, or Black/Purple Fade.
-
Clique - version 1.5. Version 1 is very good, so naturally I’d like to know why people say version 1.5 is better. ^^
‘Eventually’ Priority
These are all really awesome, but I’m not in a big hurry to find them right now.
-
Terrarian - copper plated. Do I need one? No. Would I build a fireplace in my house just to put one on the mantlepiece? Yes.
-
Format:C Gen 2 - green, blue, gold, or Cerakote. Half swaps welcome.
-
ThruLine, any colourful colour.
-
Gradient - any splash.
-
Intro - any splash; especially Synthwave, Orion, Man O War, or Shogun. I have a Purple / Black half swap that I could trade for something on this list.
-
1to1 - Oil and Water, Mars, or Big River Estuary.
-
Benchmark Series 2016, O shape - any splash.
-
Küntosh, non-blasted - pretty much any colour. Solids must have the engraving.
-
Küntosh 5000QV - any splash/fade, or blasted.
FOUND (thanks to you! ^^)

Y Factor - Cotton Candy, Green Haze, or a colourful half swap. Must have a pressed round nut. [Thanks to @irdaprez for helping me find a Y Facfor in a colour that I’ve never seen before and don’t know the name of!]

Diorama - any splash (especially Nagel Nagel), Pink UV Cerakote, or Orange UV Cerakote. [Another big thanks to @tshou for selling me one in Pink UV Cerakote!]
-
Rebirth - Deschutes, or alternatively maybe Neon Cortex or Sunrise Gate. Have been looking for a Deschutes one for ages because they’re so unique but I figured there weren’t any out there so I didn’t think it was worth even casting a net for them. [@RealGambit has earned Legendary status for helping me find a Deschutes Rebirth and making me matching strings!]

DS-61 - Wild Berry Pop-Tart. Holding out hope to find a DS-61 in this pretty colour. [Many thanks to @deelee and @ben_jammin for helping me get this one!]

Clique, version 1. I love heavy pocket throws. Willing to pay at least $100 for one in good condition. [Thank you @ben_jammin for mercifully ending my Clique hunt!]
-
edITION - Lucille (black + red). My partner tried my edITION and really wants to have their own now too!
Happy to pay a bit over $100 for one. [Thank you @tshou for selling us one of these!]
