low quantities help with quality control which is better for us because we get smother more sturdy and just plain better yo-yos

Many of the companies making yoyos are pretty small, with just a few employees and not many funds. From what I understand, it makes more sense to make small runs so you don’t have to invest as much.
However, bigger companies like YYF do make pretty big quantities at once.
