Whatā€™s even crazier, a few months ago (July) he was here on the b/s/t looking for a Wraithā€¦ Now he has one and itā€™s just not good enough. Blowing a gasket over some very minor superficial marks that are well within the guidelines on the super secret exclusive top tier adult oriented G2 group (because apparently that makes it more special?) and not on the pleb FB groupā€¦ Itā€™s just absolute madness. I get being disappointed that it wasnā€™t pristine, but no where in the guidelines did it state they had to be mint in package. So itā€™s a risk you take doing blind trades and what not.

I just hope others tread lightly if they trade with this dude because of the way heā€™s reacting. You better make sure to get your yoyos sent off to get graded by the 10 point grading scale and have it put into a hermetically sealed box before sending it to him, otherwise - world war III.

I canā€™t tell if this is satire or not

All the chaos I didnā€™t even see this. Thatā€™s a nice start at a wood throw. Just needs the edges rounded a tad and it would probably be a nice hand feel. Does it respond well on the string? Tell your brother a random person on an online forum said he made a fantastic looking yoyo.

Ohh I missed my chance because I was not responsive enough on a bst post but the display cenote was the coolest one made. Awesome get.

@antman had been so low key here yet makes really neat 3d printed YoYoā€™s. Iā€™ll admit I borrowed his rim design for my own throws I made myself. Along with getting the file for the FAF special and printing a few Iā€™ve enjoyed.

The Hatrick looks awesome. Whatā€™s the cheapest color way?

If you have to askā€¦

The thing with Hatrickā€™s is that they hardly ever show up on the BST. If you do see one, theyā€™d range from $100 to $175.

$100 would have multiple marks on it and a little vibe, $140 a few small marks no vibe, $175 being mint. Colorway doesnā€™t play as much into the price unless itā€™s the Vendetta USA Hatrick (worth $300-$600.)

This one I have is mint and has zero vibe, if I had to sell it, Iā€™d ask $175.

The above prices, thatā€™s just me spitballing, doesnā€™t mean Iā€™m right, but thatā€™s what Iā€™d personally spend and feel like I wasnā€™t getting ripped off.

Thanks! Iā€™m sure Iā€™ll get a Hatrick eventually, but for $100+ ā€¦I think Iā€™ll wait awhile.

I had more free money to redeem for an online store and the only other yoyo company on it besides Duncan is Magic yoyo. I got this thing for $14. I had low expectations from alot of stuff I have read about magic yoyo but this is actually a really solid yoyo.

Also should add that the case is a nice touch. I have been putting my yoyos in socks in a little back pack when I go places with my yoyos. :sweat_smile: Ive been meaning to get a bigger case.

Edit: One issue as time goes on is the bearing. Iā€™ve had a bunch of new yoyos go responsive. The problem with this one is it seems to not be able to fix no matter how long I clean it in acetone while it always fixes my other bearings.

So glad I pulled the trigger to buy the Little Savage after multiple questions, for a 67gram yoyo this feels like a 63gram beast!

The 2024 Diffusion had a minor improvement on the gut parts and mold quality and its so fun to throw at.

i felt the same way about the little savage. the specs are really misleading with how the weight is distributed on that one!

Iā€™ll definitely gonna weight this later after my shift ends, but yeah its a good thing this didnā€™t feel like a brick like my deviant+ but I might gonna love it even more after a week of stress play and replace with NSK DS bearing :joy:

I will pass that on! It doesnā€™t feel bad in the hand at all. A lot (LOT) of vibe, but spin time is surprisingly good. I can get through a trapeze and his brother just before it dies on string, though that may be more my fault from shoddy technique than the fault of the yo-yo.

Wood is hard to make not vibey as each half could have different density distribution. If the halves are not perfectly flat against the hub that can contribute to vibe and the wood will react to the environment so humidity can drastically change the way it plays.

Wood and vibe kind of go hand in hand. (There are some folks that do everything they can to reduce it but itā€™s tedious effort)

If itā€™s playable then I would argue itā€™s a solid first YoYo. Is it bearing or fixed axle?
