So has anyone else found a retail outlet around America where you can walk in and find higher end throws in their cases. In my neck of the woods a Yomega Dash is about the best to be found. There was a store I knew of that sold some Duncan metals, but alas, he went out of business. 😢 ---

> [@BanjoSpins](#): > > A real location you say. A brick and mortar shop with a canvas awning out over the front window? Inside there are glass cases of Dark Magic IIs, Gnarwhals, Spyder IIs, and the like? Walls with less expensive throws and bulk string hanging on pegs? A cash register with point of purchase temptations like One Drop 10 bearings and counterweights? Look there, hanging on one wall, an aged and browning photo of Donald Duncan with Pedro Flores shaking hands hanging in a frame, the glass is cracked just a little bit in one corner. A Duncan O-Boy sits in a little dusty shadow box under that picture. There is plenty of open area out in the middle of the place for trying out different throws. It used to be just a wooden floor, but André threw down a large area rug so people didn’t ding up the trial samples. > > Like that? Is it anything like that? You should win an award!

It’s been a while since I’ve been, but I’m pretty sure it’s still the case that the Cleveland yoyo club keeps a stock of yoyos. Though I don’t think anybody the boutique manufacturers have anything there. Just mostly yyf and Duncan. ---

There’s a pretty decent Duncan-selling place in the KC area called Moon Marble. Onsight glass blowing and yoyos? Yus. Also, there may be a new shop opening soon. I’ll post again when I find out more information.
