To start i havent yoyo’d for a while and i want to know of there are any decent priced yoyos that have the same shape as a sleipnir/equilibrium or a positron. And so wondering how much a mint condition rhode runner would be worth. (I own one) [http://www.yoyoskills.com/?tag=the-rhode-runner](http://www.yoyoskills.com/?tag=the-rhode-runner) ---

I would say that sleipnir and equilibrium are pretty fairly priced 😛 I’ve also heard that the YYR Draupnir is well worth the $230 with its outstanding performance… ---

I was interested in Rhode Runner as well, YYJ makes a lot of limited throws but nobody seems to own any. ---

You know there’s a yoyo appraisal thread, right? ---

In a world full of outsourcing, we are 100% committed our maker roots. It is no doubt the more challenging way to go and for sure a path less traveled.... Can’t really go wrong with that. The Werrd 86400 is similarly shaped and priced: [http://cdn.yoyoexpert.com/1067/view/images/82.jpg](http://cdn.yoyoexpert.com/1067/view/images/82.jpg) > **[Werrd](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/werrd)** > > Out of Adelaide, South Australia, one of the driest places in the world, emerges Werrd, an innovative and fresh high-end yo-yo company.  I can’t comment on how any of these play since I only own a Sleipnir, but the shapes are close enough. Hope this helps. 🙂 ---
