Titanium 888 crowdfunding is live!

Was finally able to put 200 wing wangs down for one. Ben and the gang really go all out with the extras when they do these things.

B-grades added! Cheaper than a Wanker! Barely more expensive than a Ti-Vayder! Might even see a few more Titanium Wide Angles pop up here soon! Go see the Facebook group for Benā€™s update! Yelling is fun!

Ti-Vayder b-grades were $70. Just sayinā€™ :smirk:

(hubstacks ainā€™t cheap though, hubstacks alone probably add $30 to the price of a yo-yo, so easily $10 in manufacturing, maybe more!)

150 for a b grade is kinda disapointing. You could get a nice bi metal or an A grade ti vayder for LESS. 150 to drop on a b grade that isnt just a cosmetic defect but actual vibe is a real sad offer imo

Idk i just think the idea of charging over 100 bucks for something that ur openly admitting isnt ur companies best work is kinda just a bad deal

Agreed. Kinda expensive for something that is actually defective(vibe or cosmetic)ā€¦

Agreed. There mono metal b-grades are usually massively discounted, I was expecting the same for this to be honest.

YYF, from my experience usually discounts 50% on B grades for new yoyos. MSRP on the ti888 is $300, so $150 on it is par.

The reason companies even sell B grades is to recoup their costs for manufacturing. The profit made on all the A grades starts to get eaten up once you figure in B grades, so the sale of B grades evens it out. Itā€™s a business after all profits have to be made.

The TiVayder thing can not be compared here, but Iā€™m going to keep my mouth shut on everything I want to say about thatā€¦

Using the TiWalker as any kind of benchmark for yoyo pricing isnā€™t realistic. Unless a yo-yo company decides to tie up their own money and sell yoyos at cost that isā€¦

Why pay more than $20 for any yoyo?

Its not a great deal when the full price is already a great dealā€¦ but isnt it a great world we live in where people have the option!

Thanks to an order from @AndreBoulay the goal for a new Skyline was reached! All eligible backers will get a new model Skyline. @yyfben2.deactivated has hinted that itā€™ll have some 888 themed graphics or branding. Iā€™m really excited about this!

Just do some crazy loud tricks for them. The greatest gift of all is your pseudo-performance art.
