my first kinda expensive yoyo, was the shutter, but the first time i was devastated, was when, i put vibe on my shutter wide (polished) by dinging it against a flower pot. I tried so hard not to cry in public that night. THE FLOWER POT DIDN’T EVEN BREAK!

Shutter Wide Angle. Great yoyo. One of the yoyos that sparked my passion for anything wide.

UK edition 2nd run Hatrick. I still have it. Still one of the best playing undersized throws.

Got this BvM as my first metal from the nation bitd… I remember trying to decide between this, the project, and the TFL groovy. It was a good call 
Edit: there weren’t really budget metals back then, although there was some cheaper stuff from yomega and others. The BvM wasn’t as expensive as some, if I remember correctly, and the project was like 80 bucks or something… then the M1 came out and changed the money game for a while.

1st gen octave if that is considered non budget (65 or so). I didnt buy anything more than that till my space cadet at 100 maybe 3+ years later. Since then, I think I’ve spent more than 100 only 2 or 3 times. I mostly trade for higher end stuff.
Definitely not a budget metal lol.
Mine was a Red October 401k. I don’t think there were really “budget” options when I bought it. The first “budget” metals I remember that were billed as such were the OD M1 and the YYF line of Hectic, Frantic, C13 (and maybe other YYF that I’m forgetting).
