I was ordering pads from yye and I thought I was buying individual pads instead of sets and It turned out to be sets!

One of my most satisfying was probably buying my ehKnown yoyo. Sounds silly, that pressing the āPay nowā button was so rewarding but Iād stayed up till 1am on a work night that I had to be up for 6, and it was only 1 in 30 that were made, and my internet connection sucks, and Iām in the UK but I still managed to get one, made my day.
Then two weeks later, it arrived exactly on my birthday.

there are some yoyos that when i get them, and i throw them for the first timeā¦ i get an endorphin rush and feeling if warmth throughout my bodyā¦ not āloveā for a physical object, thatās silly - and we shouldnāt really āloveā an inanimate worldly thing per se - but, a joy and bond in finding the right yoyo for me. it feels so great. that is satisfying

Not feeling hard-pressed to buy every yoyo that releases
Not feeling hard-pressed to own 1000+ yoyos
The moment I shrank my collection down to a numeric value I can count on one hand, was the moment I realized that yoyo gluttony runs rampant within this community - Iāve seen numerous posts regarding the fact that homies buy throws just cause they ādonāt wanna miss outā
Anyways, having less than more in terms of yoyo ownership has been a cleansing experience both mentally and spatially for me
If I got a $1 for everytime Iāve read āthinning the herdā or ācollection downsizingā I probably would be able to purchase a $100+ bimetal by now

I have more throws than I need and totally agree with this statement.

Iām in the same boat as @yoyojoe, and I also 100% agree. I have to say, the most satisfying experience was deciding to buy yoyos from people I know who have started companies. Some are people I only know on the forums because they live on the other side of the planet, others are people that I am able to meet up and throw with. Getting past fear of missing out was a freeing experience (although, sometimes I do still get caught up in itā¦just a little bit)

i called it, learning how to control my collection, instead of letting it control me. i got organized, also set goals, then found it easier to set goals, and be organized.
there are few pieces duplicates of now.

Attending a big Yomega tournament in 2003 (I think that was the year) in Las Vegas. The whole experience of it all was amazing! I had such a great timeā¦met lots of awesome peoples!!
Vegas was a blast too even though I was under the age to drink/gamble.
I won the novice division too which was absolutely blissful! lol

When I landed my first trapeze, on an imperial, at a very young age. Nothing Iāve done in yoyoing, has ever taken so much work or given me such great pleasure. I still remember that moment, the exhilaration, the jumping up and down and then I finished out the day kid style! Fishing, catching frogs, and cooking my own food on a campfire! Perfect, just so perfect. 
(throw some swimming in there as well)

Visiting and spending the better part of a day with the guys at One Drop. Aside from them all being the nicest dudes, I got to throw more yo-yos than I could imagine. The Rev 1 I picked up from them is still my favorite throw(and Iām looking forward to picking up a Rev 2!).

I hear ya!
I have certainly never attained a massive collection but over the past month or two I have brought my collection below the 20 mark. I know still that this is more than I actually NEED and it does still feel somewhat gluttonous to me but at the same time I feel more comfortable now.
Another satisfying experience for me is having just left the FB BST group. Donāt get me wrong, no one has upset me personally or anything like that but I find during these sessions of feeling a bit burnt out on yoyo in general that constant rampant consumerism turns me off even more.
