_most_ but not all yoyo preorders do a deposit to help cover initial materials + manufacturing costs and then you pay the rest once the yoyo is finished and ready to ship out (half now half later kinda thing) ---

Maybe if your company is totally broke then that would make _business_ sense; but it wouldn’t make the retail cost any lower, so it’s basically glorified payment in instalments. ‘_YoPay — yo now, pay later_’ Imagine if you’d already paid a deposit a One Drop that’s having production issue (like the bimetal) back when they started producing it. Right now, One Drop could scrap the bimetal tomorrow and never say a word about it. If there were deposits, then they’d have to disappoint invested customers when a product fails to materialise, or alternatively face exacerbated pressure from customers wanting to get their yos. ---

Preorders are fairly rare. Only one brand comes to mind that regularly sells pre-orders on non-exclusive yo-yos, and that is more of a perk for dedicated customers. They seem to be most common with higher priced projects. If not to cover higher costs than to make sure there is a market. I don’t think the Ultra State needs that kind of insurance. Edit to add: splitting the cost adds administrative overhead that I would assume most companies prefer to avoid. I only (personally) know one brand that does this. ---

Not sure I said that but maybe I did 🙂 We had to pause Ultra State production for the Summit 2 and other things but we are in the process of finishing up the run. We also took extra time to make the run as big as possible. ---
