i sanded down and polished the rims of another shutter… it came out better then i expected.

Polished denotes more shine and luster. Satined, items in this thread, have merely been sanded without polishing. ↓Polished↓ ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/0/d/d0df6c4bfc920404776afd3888707dc6e7b49a07.jpeg) ---

I was just telling my buddy this the other day… If I had a yoyo company “like CLYW for instance” I would drop 10 polished week early pre releases of each model, these releases would be sold as strictly collectors pieces ( and at a $100 mark up of coarse ) Or at very least I would do a few polished makes of each run, even if it’s just a $25 mark up, just so collectors have something to grab at. With the pure beauty that if reflected from a properly polished yoyo I am very suprised no company is using it as a tactic? And you can say that I am just being greedy, and that may be true, and although some companies are friendlier than others, they all desire your paper over your friendship :wink: ---

> [@alecto](#): > > why do i get the feeling that someone doesn’t care for my work… If you may be referring to me not at all! Polished throws have a broad range of what people think or feel is polish. Growing up with a father that spent hundreds of hours polishing parts for various projects. I’ve always been one to say a true polish is one that is highly reflective with no paper lines in it. ---
