Hey everybody,
Today I went to an antique store, and I found two antique yo-yos. Here are the pictures:

How much do you think they cost?

I like that Flintstones yo. It would be so fun to carry around with you. ;D

I paid a total of five dollars for them, were they worth it? The person said they would be worth a lot, I did not believe it though, but I bought them just to try them out, and for my collection.

I don’t know about being worth a lot but they certainly are cool for a collection.

Wait until you read what I found. I did a little searching, and I found some information on it, as in the flinstone yo-yo is a Hanna Barbera tin litho character yo-yo, it was made in Hong Kong, undated, maybe 1970’s, and it says it is $35.00, here is the link to the site: http://www.gasolinealleyantiques.com/yoyo.htm, and it says about other antique yo-yos.
Does anybody else have any antique yo-yos, and if you do, then would you want to post pictures?

Fixed it for you. :wink:

I would say upwards of $10 each, but it could be $100 or more.

Ed will know better than anyone else.

Well I have 4 yo-yos that aren’t even on the museum of yo-yo history.

A red and blue Fli-Back yo-yo (Worth roughly 30 dollars mint)

A “Genuine Beginners yo-yo” (I can’t make out the rest of the print) (Not sure of the price)

A purple and pink Avon yo-yo (Not sure of the price)

and a yellow Hasbro Top-A-Go-Go yo-yo (Worth 40 dollars mint)

I got the top a go go and the fli back from a thrift store in Florida for 50 cents each, and the other two from my grandpa.

p.s. I don’t have a camera at the moment so I can’t post pics, Sorry.
