The Ti-Vayder Experience

Tl;dr: this:

BST is completely fair game also. The limitation should only be that of the official sales. Seeing as they are still in stock, people have had more than enough time to buy brand new anyways.

edit: owning and not appreciating the black #420 is a sin, despite the puerile vapid happiness that you may perceive it might give.

55£ for 140$ worth!!! move to another country !!! :smiley:
I haven’t been shopping in the US for a while now (and last time I bought a Spyy Tyy-01, customs was not requested from me) but years ago from Japan for amounts of about 130 Euros the full customs tax amounted, for my country, to about 30 Euros (very different amount from 55£!)
has the world gotten worse lately? we’ll see.

I can’t even begin to explain how gutted I was when I got the bill. I was so excited about getting them, but that just sucked all the fun out of it, I didn’t really throw mine much when it arrived because of how angry I was with the taxes. Oh well.

Extra costs aside, I really like the Vayder. It could be the best yoyo I own performance wise. For such a small and light yoyo, it really does pack quite a punch, and smooth too, dead smooth.

Heath must have found the magic formula when he was designing the Ti-Walker. I’d love to try a walker just so I could compare them. The Skywalker is a great yoyo too.

I wonder if an Aluminum Vayder would be any good?

Indeed. All the whinging over the 2-limit-rule is motivated by a scarcity condition that doesn’t even exist. :roll_eyes:

according to your theory then this rule is in fact useless.
but evidently (and for fotruna), whoever thought of making this object realistic, does not see it in this way … and it is the reason why this rule has been inserted.

Yes, this is quite true.

The rule was instituted in fear of a potential sales rush that never happened. Even Jeff admitted that he did not expect all 500 units to sell out instantly, or even that quickly. But he was “playing it safe,” despite what all common sense was telling him (and the rest of us).

that did not happen you can only say it because there was this rule … a yoyo of this potential (certain and established) at such a low price (not even Chinese brands sell titanium yoyos at this price) potentially would have attracted many speculators .
I probably, having been away for over a year, could have had the chance to have one thanks to this rule!

I am pretty convinced that the rule did not deter speculators. The quantity available did that all by itself.

For some reason I really enjoyed seeing yoyodoc quoted in Italian.

sorry, I use chrome that immediately translates the posts and when I highlight to quote, I quote in Italian if I don’t think of removing the automatic translation before selecting … :smiley:

We removed the 2 limit per person restriction once the initial buying frenzy died down. You can buy as many as you want now, provided you want grey or black :wink:

Thanks for the clarification, but then it would not be appropriate to also remove this information from the website if it is no longer valid? It just creates confusion and disinformation now.

It is removed, from the actual charge page where the big warning used to be. I don’t think anything else is necessary.

edit: dang you’re right! I thought I did remove that. Will do so now… my bad.

Personal life has been taking priority, and I am taking the advice of people I respect and slow rolling within the community at a pace that is apparently considered non existently slow haha.

I am here though. Tag me and I’ll likely check it out. Been fiddling with Bi Metals of late. They’re definitely interesting vs. what I was used to.

honestly, I found more interesting what you were doing with just aluminum … (the Flying Hut is one of my great regrets, for never having been able to find one!)

I wish more manufacturers would do this rather than do small runs that sell out in hours. I have 5 yoyo’s on my wish list that are not available even though they were released in the last year.
