Yeah… But I mean, if you are making yoyos for friends, and your friends cant afford yoyos that are $100… But at the same time its really hard to find someone to make them… I guess it all evens out in the end, its just kinda hard to get started, you guys were really lucky to find someone willing to put forward the money though! ---

Abby, I again am sorry. At first, we did not realize that these were overpriced. I apologize. But also, we lowered the price to $85. Secondly, as of now, Capricorns have all been pre-ordered. Production run Capricorns will be cheaper. Again, I am sorry! ---

Guys these are prototypes anyways, they will have to cost more, $85 or even $95 isnt a bad price for a proto. They need to pay the guy for the run and need support to start their company. ---
