> [@eternalmetal](#): > > Yea I get it to a point, but it seems like it is kind of an effort of diminishing return, where you have to sell the yoyo for less than what you bought it for, spend time seeking buyers, send effort shipping, etc. This is true, but it is the closest we can get today to a yoyo rental system. :wink: ---

If I’m going to pay 50$+ for a yoyo sometimes I would not mind paying 5-10$ for a great colorway haha ---

I usually don’t lose too much money. I believe I bought that VTWO for $70 I think so I only lost out $10. My Banshee and Ignition was a package deal for $100 and that’s about what I sold it for. I got my Musashi for $35 so I think I actually made a little money selling that. But if I had never bought those off the bst, I’d still be eyeing all of those regularly now, thinking about how much I want to try them, because they are all designs I genuinely think I would like(and I do for the most part). I just like trying new throws and cycling out old ones ---

Unpopular opinion: ![no_title](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/3/4/234a05d90148a3383877f1edfc46b28175e44e79.jpeg) I don’t like this thread and I will try my best to not to touch it ever again. It started as a formal debate but the discussion now is downright silly. Anything that could be said about this topic has been said (multiple times). I wish this thread stopped. The circularity of the opinions there actually go kinda against the forum’s attitude of healthy discussion. ---

I dunno, seeing one of the One Drop principals start a poll on preferred concave bearing type based on that topic… was quite an eye opener to me. I think believe it or not, minds _are_ slowly being changed. 🤯 Also you gotta realize changing people’s minds is like the hardest job there is, it is basically impossible. It can take DECADES to truly change someone’s mind about something, particularly if it is integral to their conception of who they think they are as a person. ---

About three years ago my mind was changed about nutrition. And not just a mild nudge, but a somewhat radical shift. Decades of previously held beliefs were replaced almost over night in the face of newer, more accurate information. When minds are open and beliefs are based on facts, they can be changed when presented with newer, better information. When minds are closed or beliefs are based on personal preferences or the intense pressures of social acceptance, they are unlikely to be changed willingly. ---

> [@codinghorror](#): > > Also you gotta realize changing people’s minds is like the hardest job there is, it is basically impossible. It all depends on what belief you are trying to change and how open to reason the person is. I know my mind can be changed pretty easily if it’s clear I am wrong and the other person’s idea makes more sense. ---

> [@anon5341354](#): > > It all depends on what belief you are trying to change and how open to reason the person is. This. Some held beliefs are seriously hard to shake, and while I am a trained scientist I still find that I am unwilling to budge my opinion at times, especially at the heat of the moment. I have found that ive lost “debates” in the past while refusing to admit my defeat, but after sleeping on it and mulling it over (sometimes for months), ill generally gravitate towards the more plausible/factual. As for the bearing debate, I see both sides. I strongly disagree with those who think the difference is practically imperceptible or inconsequential though. Unless you have been throwing the same trick for years, centering bearings are definitely more resistant to tilt. This might not be the feel you are looking for however, and I love throwing organics with flats because of the more responsive tilt control. ---

Late to the party here but do people really dislike speed play? Speed combos and simple flashy tricks are pretty much all I ever practice. Plus they get all the oohs and aahs when street performing. Maybe I just yoyo for different reasons than most others. ---

Well obviously Glen if the question is “do you like the movie Forrest Gump” that is an easier opinion to change than “do you believe in gun control”. I am clearly referring more to the latter than the former.
