Try to look at this from a business sense. It’s very true that sites like yoyonation and yoyoguy carry quite a few different brands of yo-yos, but they have the sheer size to do so.

Relatively, YYE is small when compared to those names. This creates a situation in which every yo-yo that is sold needs to turn at least a small profit after all overhead costs are considered. YYN in particular is big enough that it can afford to simply “break even” on some yo-yos that it sells so that it can appear more appealing to the general public. Companies like 1Drop make way more money selling their yo-yos directly from their site, and I imagine that the end cost is the reason they could not come to an agreement with YYE.

I think that Andre is truly committed to bringing the most dedicated and customer friendly yo-yos here to YYE. If and when it’s possible, it will happen.
