Glad you enjoyed. Yeah PV44 is probably my favorite as well. 138 always surprises me how well it plays for a undersized.

Enjoy @Siggy-06

No rush. Hope all is well. Just wanted to say @Jayjo866 and @Roman_Soup are not welcome to accept these yoyos. Sorry to make rules but both these guys seem to have killed pay it forward threads. Thank you all for enjoying.

Ready to send these bad boys on their way. I enjoyed the project Y the most, but they were all great.

The first person to post ā€œIā€™ll take itā€ here in this thread will be receiving these three fine specimens from Fair Trade Yoyos in the mail! (Continental U.S. only please.) I will pm you to get the address.

Here is that catch. In 3 weeks (give or take a few days) you must copy this post and send it on to someone else.

By accepting this, you are taking responsibility to pay shipping to the next person. The box Iā€™m shipping weighs about 16 oz so keep that in mind when you claim it next, shipping should still be around $5-6. Please U.S. destinations only!

The Project Y is the larger purple, PV44 is black and the 138 is the smaller purple.

Letā€™s see how long we can keep it going!

Once you receive it, please take a photo or video and post in this thread.

I will include a sign in sheet for everyone that receives it to sign.

A pox on the one who breaks the chain!!!

I like what @SR1 is doing on the inception threadā€¦ maybe we need to take some minor precautions to keep everything safe.

@CloudyDino ā€¦

Do you have any feedback anywhere? After the @Jayjo866 incident and the @Roman_Soup incident, everyone in these Pay It Forward threads are being (understandably) super cautious to only send to members who have feedback/have been members of the community for awhile. Itā€™s an awesome yoyo and as many people should try it as possible, but maybe get a few BST deals under your belt, and hang around the forums for a bit!

@CloudyDino has the Pay It Forward Silenus already and posted to move it along (with no takers as of yet).

Also Iā€™m opposed to gatekeeping with rep threads. It takes a lot to get a rep thread and sets a high bar for participation.

Edit: but obviously these are your throws @AKYOYOMIKE and I would abide by your decision.

Problem is that TWO people have scammed these threads now - weā€™d be stupid if we didnā€™t do SOMETHING to prevent it from happening again, especially so soon after these fresh incidents. ā€œFool me onceā€¦ā€ etc. Itā€™s honestly a pretty low barrier to entry IMO - you can buy, sell or trade just one throw and ask the person on the other end to create a thread for you - pretty easy actually. In other hobby communities (and even some past yoyo forums) feedback and being a member for a long time was commonplace before you were allowed to participate in stuff like this. Absolutely no offense to @CloudyDino, but he has no feedback, has barely been a member for a month, and has ONLY posted in these Pay It Forward threads (and a giveaway thread). Not saying thatā€™s sketchy, but just saying. The absolute bare minimum in this case would be to see if they ship the throw from the Silenus thread and then we could move forward with a better idea of how trustworthy they are. Itā€™s only fair, we donā€™t need ALL THREE Pay It Forward threads derailed haha

We need to move to a Pay it Forward ladder by value :joy:

Yeah, I just looked through the inception thread and that was wild lol. I donā€™t mind waiting to get a review after I pay the Silenus forward which would probably prove it a bit? Mainly I just want to try some yoyos before deciding what I like and actually buying it.

Fair, getting that PIF Silenus shipped would be a good place to start IMO. Obviously up to @AKYOYOMIKE though, heā€™s understandably being cautious after how those other two threads went down.

I noticed you are trying to move the silenus along. I think Iā€™m willing to allow thisā€¦ but it does seem like a interesting cross roadā€¦ you have the silenusā€¦ and you have claimed the inception and this thread. All eggs in one basket always makes me nervous.

Iā€™m going to allow this (but i would ask you to hold off on the inception)ā€¦ if you ship out the silenus to the next person (or the original owner @dizzo ) and then you so these guys when the time comes you will have plenty of credit in my book. But if you keep theseā€¦ i will take this personally.

@CloudyDino please envoy the FTY yoyos. Heres to giving everyone the benefit of the doubt.
