I doubt youâll have any issue with buying yoyos to resale as part of a class⌠youâre only working with a small group of people and youâre not even looking to make profit on it.
As for the type of yoyo, how about this idea: Get some Brains and a few Velocitys. Totally new players could pay $10 for a Brian and those with some experience could pay $20 for a Velocity. Once a person gets the basics down with a Brain, they could trade it in for like $7 worth of credit towards a Velocity. Then you have used Brains for people at $7, and someone that wants to step up could get a nice yoyo for only $13 plus their used Brain.
Now you have three levels of entry price - $7, 10, and 20. Anyone should be willing and able to come up with $10 to see if they like it, and if not they could trade it back and only be out $3. You also would then have used Yoyos on hand for someone to try for a few minutes without spending any money, and you can show them a sleeper and probably get them to see that they can do it too.
You would have to stipulate that the used Brains need not be abused - some surface scratches would be fine, but they need to perform.
I think if you took that route you could have a working program off the ground in no time!
As a side note, I am a new player and I can give my perspective on this. I would love to have the option of someone local that I can learn from. I have books and of course the internet videos, but itâs not the same. Iâd be willing to pay a reasonable sum for an experienced player to help me on certain tricks, point out my mistakes, help with buying decisions, etc etc.
I really have to say that that is a brilliant idea for a class. :o It is an awesome idea ;D Never thought of it ???
Make sure you get a good trick list too ;D

That is an absolutely wonderful idea! Problem: I have no idea if these people would stick with it long enough to get past using the Brain. Other than that, thatâs a great idea.
I actually find it kinda sad that people just quit after getting their beginner yoyo. It seems like lots of people leave yoyoing after they get to intermidiate tricks.
Yeah I know. Some people just donât have the time or donât want to take the time to get good.
A2Z sells TONS of ProJams. Like, 20 of each color! I bought one in blue!

Flying Squirrels?
They are 10 dollars here and about 8 dollars at the Nation.
Just get a pair or two of pads for them each and they are set.

Or just donât charge for the yo-yoâs and in turn charge like 7 bucks to take the class⌠That should hold up pretty well in court

I never would have guessed I would have to lock this. Oh well.
If youâre interested, I did get a yoyo club started at school. Lock.
