That’s a mightly fine EOD Seamonkey specimen. I should’ve kept one of those for my little YYWS Museum.

Is an awesome throw indeed. I think that a remake by you and Ray of these seamonkeys would be welcome by… pretty much EVERYBODY!

It’s a Duncan Mosquito I found at an antique store! Not a bad throw at all.
Now I don’t own a RBC (tho I reeeeally want one), but I don’t think I could compare the two at all from all the praise I’ve seen the RBC get.

How much were they selling it for? Was it still in the blister pack?

No, just the yoyo itself (and some gross string that was already on it lol). Only $5!

Nice find !!! Any vintage Duncan throw is pretty sweet 
I guess I have to look at some antique stores then 
but for 5 dollars that’s an absolute steal !!!
I tend to have very small luck with antique stores, though every once in awhile something pops up.
For instance, this Duncan Wheels fixie I got at another antique store also for $5!

It’s an organic shootout today. Trying to decide on one of these to cut from the collection to make room for an RBC. Unfortunately they’re all awesome in different ways, despite very similar specs.

Throwing on stock MYY strings from this bag which I’ve been adding to since 2018. There’s over 100 strings inside. Tonight I had to chuck the string on my Silenus because it just outlived that certain feeling. I didn’t want to use a string that costs $1.00 so I pulled out this bag and decided to give one a try. I was super pleased with the length so no cutting and tieing and the string feels awesome. I don’t care if it doesn’t last a month. I’ve got tons more.

BiND. It’s so good and wide for competition. I actually used it for scales v6 and I felt pretty good with it. It’s a really quick and stable throw for all styles of play!

I wouldn’t sell any of them, they all look so good. Obviously, I don’t know what kind of situation you are in, but I have sold throws that I thought were pretty nice and ended up regretting getting rid of them. I dunno, but if you really like them, you may want to hold on to them.

Got a Krown Ti and a Duncan Mayhem in the mail today. Loving them both. Not sure why the Mayhem never comes up in conversations about good organics.

Buying another yoyo from someone they had a good deal on a shutter. I always get the feeling that people think there’s nothing really special about them.
Well i don’t know about special but it’s REALLY good. I really love it and am almost annoyed that I bought a bunch of cheaper throws earlier instead of one of these.
But then i probably wouldn’t be able to appreciate it for what it is now. So mea culpa I guess.

I didn’t like mine at first and was disappointed because I had such high hopes for it. It just seems to check all the boxes. My bearing was oddly quiet and seemed to slow it down considerably, so I swapped it with my Iceberg and got a spinny Shutter and quieter Iceberg—win-win. The Shutter really gained a lot from that bearing, and now I’m using it daily. I liked it enough that I should have a Wide Angle in my mailbox tomorrow .

L TO R: 5A Shutter, JDS Shutter, Wide Angle and Bi-Metal Shutter.
The Shutter line is really good. I think the lack of excitement is due more to the snobbish attitude many have about mass produced throws from a company like YYF. Many kind of turn their noses up at these throws which, in my humble opinion, is a huge loss for them. They are all incredible. Smooth, quiet, powerful and typically cost less for similar performance of a higher end or boutique throw.
Gentry is on to something with these.
