I recently unearthed my yo-yo collection from the late 1990s. I was big into collecting them back then and was never very good at yo-yoing itself. Keep in mind, I would have been about 12-13 years old. Anyway, I have all of my yo-yos and most are in very good shape. I am curious if they would be worth anything these days. I’m not necessarily looking to sell them. Just more for curiosity’s sake. Some yo-yos I have are the following:
Custom Reactor
Tom Kuhn Silver Bullet
Playmaxx Proyo Turbo Bumble Bee
Team Losi Da Bomb
YoyoJam
Green Proyo Stunt Pilot (I recall buying it right after it was released)
I have a bunch more that I can’t think of off the top of my head right now. I can get pictures and a more complete list when I have more time. Let me know if anyone has any insight into the history and value of these. Thanks!
They are quality yoyos for their vintage. My estimate is that ebay prices are inflated. I know some ebay people think something is worth way more that it acrually is. It would be interetsing to see the actual sale price on them.
I’ve recently sold some YYJ Hitman yoyos for $20-$35 depending on condition. They tend to develop stress fractures in the plastic. I’ve had a couple of pristine, rarely played ones that I let go for cheap because they cracked.
Here’s some recent examples of hyped prices on ebay:
