It looks interesting, and I think it’s not a bad idea to do this in the middle of the year. But, international shipping with real tracking can run $30 to some places. And, depending on the value of the gift, it’s just not the best idea. I feel like I could give away the prize local, and spend that $30, on a second prize. I feel better off just giving away a yo-yo when it will cost me a lot less to do it. I just gave away a Flight that only cost just over $3 to ship, and it came with tracking too. The one we do here seems a lot more organized, about what’s expected of the value of the gift, and other details. I just feel like I do this all year long, not to get anything in exchange, but it gets done anyway. Also, the one done here, we kinda know the people involved, not always literally, but through their posts. I’m glad you posted it, because I never knew that existed. I heard of reddit, but never really checked it out. ---

Now there could be 3 scenarios. 1: The person doesn’t knows about yoyos and takes part in it. And seeing the wants I’ve listed he’ll buy from a store that has less shipping to India and ship me directly. If he has sense. And this is likely to be happen. 2: The person knows about yoyos so yeah he’ll buy from the less shipping store and send to me. 3: The person knows about yoyos but he has a yoyo that he’ll send while not buying a new one. So this is the problem part. Now if he’s giving me a 40 $ + yoyo he’ll send it but if the cost is less he’ll likely have to buy from a yoyo store that has less shipping. Extra : Some people are in Australia or other near India countries. NOw I have a yoyo that I want to send but if the shipping is going to cost more then the yoyo. So I’ll better be buying stuff from yoyoexpert and send it directly. A d if you don’t know about the subreddit for yoyos here’s the link. [https://www.reddit.com/r/Throwers/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Throwers/) If most people are participating from that sub I’ll be knowing them. Unless a noob who doesn’t know anything about yoyos participates. And it depends that who’s matched result will I be. ---

Ah, it seemed some information was missing. I totally missed the FAQ link at the bottom. It says you can opt out of international shipping too. It might be fun to participate. I’ll read through it all and decide. ---

It means if you are deciding to join at least have a budget of 20 $. That’s minimum not maximum. Maximum can be like anything.
