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!
For Trade
I have these available for trade, or possibly to sell if you’ve got a good deal for me!
- Deepest State - Stay Gold America / NQP Spacious Skies half swap [Mint]
- Panorama - Eugene Market (Darker) [NMTBS]
- Intro - Purple / Black half swap [NMTBS]
- CafeRacer - Blue / Green half swap [minor damage]
- Benchmark Series 2016, O shape - nickel plated [badly scratched/pinpricked on both rims]
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 Yo-Yo Contest 2009). Maybe there’s still one out there somewhere. Willing to sell my kidneys on the black market to afford one… heh…
- OD x MFD (Ridgeback) Fire Devil - Planetary Isolation. Objectively the best colour.
- Dietz - any splash.
- Par Avion - Blue Eddy or HypnoBerry. These look so awesome. I just have to see one spinning.
- Sovereign. Willing to pay a decent amount for one that hasn’t been majorly damaged. I don’t care if it’s numbered or not.
- Novus Add-Ons - extender, divider. Will pay top dollar for either!
- Benchmark Series 2014, W / H / O shape - any colour; especially Watermark).
- Marquis - titanium. Haha… ha…
- Mantis - titanium. It’s on my bucket list, so here it is.
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.
- Cascade Proto.
- 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.
- Prescription - any splash, ideally Evolving Pathogen.
- Perspective - bright or vibrant colours (especially half swapped), or Cerakote.
- Burnside - any splash except Emerald Valley. Also interested in the GZR version.
- Artifact - any fade.
- 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.
- OD x CLYW Summit - looking for a pretty splash. Would like to find a good deal though.
- OD x CLYW Seven Summits - Kosciuszko.
- 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.
- OD x MFD Fire Devil - any splash.
- Wizard - Cerakote Relic.
- Gradient - silver plated.
- Benchmark Series 2016, H shape - any colour.
- Clique - version 1.5. Version 1 is very good, so naturally I’d like to know why people say version 1.5 is better. ^^
- Panorama - 藤 (the right one), or Weekend Stadium. I have a Eugene Market (Darker) one that I could trade.
- Cascade - any splash, solid blue, or silver plated. Must have the Cascade engraving. Also interested in the GZR version.
- Format:C Gen 2 - green, blue, gold, or Cerakote. Half swaps welcome.
- ThruLine, any colourful colour.
- Top Deck - any splash, solid, UV Cerakote (especially Pink/Green UV Swarm Cerakote), or Yellow on Black Cerakote. Solids must have the engraving.
- Vanguard - Burnished.
- DANG - any splash.
- Reboot - UV Cerakote Lilith.
- OD x OhYesYo Eclipse - any splash except Morning Dew.
‘Eventually’ Priority
These are all really awesome, but I’m not in a big hurry to find them right now.
- OD x CLYW Wooly MarkMont - Obsidian or regular nickel. Ideally unpolished (original finish), oxidation is fine. Unlike the rare unicorns on this list I am only willing to pay a reasonable price for this one. Maybe 500–600 on a good day.
- Terrarian - copper plated. Do I need one? No. Would I build a fireplace in my house to put one on the mantlepiece? Yes.
- VTWO - Darker HypnoBerry Swirl.
- 1to1 - NQP Oil and Water, or Big River Estuary.
- Küntosh, Pyramatte - any colour. Solids must have the engraving.
- Küntosh 5000QV - any bead blasted.
- Fat Tire - any fancy colour; especially Orion, Swamp Ooze, Pink/Teal Fade, YYE Edition, or Black/Purple Fade.
