Y’all can start by looking at the photos in the first post if you are jonesing to identify everything…
Just a reminder of some easy ways to jump to the top of a topic
Just kidding on that last one
Your influence is stronger than you realise.
Every time you say that, I’m beginning to believe you more and more…
But then I throw my DV888, and feel that deeeelicious rock feeling and fall in love again.
Wow…That is amazing!
Damn this is a freakin STEAL if I have ever seen one.
I have seen tooo many good yo-you just glancing through.
Congrats Doc…
Without honor you have nothing…
Thank to Mo for sending the YoYos over!
We are heating the furnace right now and will soon turn the collection into molten metal. In about 4 days we will create fresh recycled Bar stock and begin production of the DV888 recycle editions.
Thanks for being a part of the biggest scam ever Jeff!
Jeff got $2,500. He no get scam.
Trimetal is most likely a Sengoku yoyo or the AHAY Index FYI
Slight update… I know this is not exactly a ‘share your family story’ site. But based on the current ‘Geeze, ya think Mo would be talking more lately but hasn’t been’. I feel compelled to give a little insight to be ‘be current’.>
In Oct. 18, my Mom had a stroke and pretty much dropped dead. Trying to do the right thing, I took my 96 years old Dad to the Bank to let them know to update The Who’s money is who’s situation.
I will never forget the look on my Dads face when the Bank Agent told us that All my parents monies were solely in my Moms name! But… he only had one thing to say. ‘Where’s my Money’?
My Mom was a Nurse(RN). Since most Medical people have an awareness that on average, women live 8 to 11 years longer than men. And the fact that my Dad was 9 years older than my Mom. Removing the emotion from the equation. It only seemed logical that ‘statistically’ my Dad would fade out years before my Mom🤔. So… she must have figured the transfer of any/all finances would be more seamless if she already had command of EVERYTHING.
All of a sudden it was time to Lawyer up to Petition the Court to recognize my Dad ‘is’ the sole recipient of everything in the event of my Mom dying first. Easy huh? Uh, not exactly…
Now> almost 2 years later, we have a Court date for Final Decree that legally I identifies my Dad as the , ‘Owner of his own money’ minuse the thousands in Legal fees, of course🙀.
Then, out of the blue. Almost 2 full years later. My Dad drops DEAD. I called the Lawyer and he told me he now has to file an Amendment with the Court that my Dad is no longer in the running to be the recipient of his own money… cuz he is deceased. First, the Lawyer was pretty upset. And then he calmed down after realizing that it is going to cost me MORE MONEY to rectify this dilemma.
Since I am the stated Administrator/Executor/you name it/of everything now. And still working full time. I can honestly say that I have been a Very busy person.
I shared this personal situation for a reasonably understandable reason.
Now that I have Jeff’s yoyo collection in under my ownership. I am getting a little blowback from several folks about not sharing updates with what I am doing, related to this New Massive yoyo acquisition of mine?
I have been so busy both before and after work. I only sleep about 4 or 5 hours/tops…
At 4am this morning. I randomly picked out 12 yoyos from the crates, with the intention of throwing each for a few minutes once I got up into the house. As soon as I got into the house, I sat in a chair and fell asleep!
And… I am also keeping my old Uncle Jim taken care of because he hasn’t left the house in months because of COVID. And he lives out of town🙀
Personally, I am fine. Tired but I don’t Fade… easy. I actually get more determined as I go along.
Nothing fixes itself.
Seems a few people think I am just laughing all the way to EBay after taking a swim in a pool full of Yo-yos I got for dirt cheap. That life is now so much better because I possess my weight in yo-yos. Not even close…
My yoyo acquisition is just one of the things I have to deal with. Everything else can cost me waaaay more than I saved or could stand to make by selling All my yo-yos.(remember, I already have literally hundreds of yo-yos of my own. Now, I just have several hundred more.
I am surprised my head just doesn’t fall off completely.
I just received several Death Certificates for various legal reasons. Once I get one to this particular Lawyer and he petitions for the Amendment. I will be in a better state of enthusiasm and will have/make the time to pursue this Epic Saga.
No doubt I will need some help identifying some of theses yo-yos. I will start posting organized images(numbered and laid out). And ask to match number to yoyo.
I am not trying to avoid anybody or hide in a cave… Actually, I’m hiding in a Cave right now. But that doesn’t count, haha.
Considering my family circumstances, getting these yo-yos could have been better timed. But as Jeff stated, ‘Once in a Lifetime’… So, that is just the way things worked out.
I am sure a few guys are going to chime in and tell me I should not share personal family tragedy type information(we all run into this eventually).
But my motive was/is simple. So we can all be on the same page that old Mo has ‘Some stuff going on… Stay tuned for more optimistic updates🤓
PS… on a happier note. Here is an image my girl just found in my parents family collection.
Me… actually smiling 15 years ago after being presented with the National Achievement Award during the Banquet at 2005 Nationals…
Smiling is good…
Mo don’t worry about it, you have no obligation to update on anything but your own time and own terms. Take care of yourself first.
Absurd. You aren’t required or (IMO) expected to update anything. Sorry for all the legal/personal troubles Mo. Hope it all gets sorted out for you.
I second this @yoyodoc. Those yos are safe in your hands and they’ll just get better with a little aging anyways.
Quoting for emphasis.
Don’t forget to take care of your self Mo, all of what you’re going through can take a great emotional toll, and affect your overall health. I know from first hand experience from similar experiences I’ve been through.
I was going to quote and say the same thing. The collection isn’t going anywhere. We will all be here when the time comes. How dare anybody rush a man for self fulfillment!
Wow, a hell of a collection. I hope they find a great home! Also hoping you’ll stick around in our community once you sell these off.
Mo, I’m sorry to hear about your parents… I lost both of mine in the last 5yrs and dealing with their estates is and was a complete nightmare! It’s like ripping the bandaid off, over and over and over again… for years!
You owe NO ONE and explanation!! Jeff said the deal was done and they are yours! You don’t see anyone else on this forum updating everyone with the details of their collections!
Enjoy them, share them, store them, burn them… they are yours!
I feel @yoyodoc gets words in the same way Gandalf arrives.
Never late, precisely at the right moment.
Mo Chavez. The lighthouse we need but dont deserve…NEVER goes dark.
Beautiful collection
Excellent!
That is the most brazen sustainability initiative I’ve heard from the YoYoFactory thus far. Recycle, Repurpose, Reuse those dead horses.
Don’t Pollute…Tread Lightly!
