My least expensive (not counting gifts) yoyo that I bought on purpose was about $15 for a YYF ONEstar. The most ive paid was right at $360 for CLYWxLuftverk AMS Tundra
What about you? What does your spread span? Where do you draw the line? What is simply “too expensive” for you to buy?
Just curious since everyone has a different idea of what “expensive” actually is.
Don’t think I’d ever spend “Tundra” money again. $150 or so is where I’d tap out at, even then I’ve got so many now that I’m not even looking really. Some in the $90 range these days I think is too much for what they are.
We’ve reached this point now with most companies having production in China that $90-100 is getting to be the upper limits. Not that it’s too expensive for me, it’s just not worth it too me.
$12 for magicyoyo n12 and $85 for the one drop terrarian, don’t really like to spend more than $50 for a yoyo since adding a higher value to the item will make me more reluctant to use it adding the risk of damaging it. $50 is the most I am willing to pay now since it doesn’t hurt my wallet as much and don’t have to be too concerned about damaging it because I can simply purchase another without having it cost an arm and a leg.
least ~$9 for a YYF One
most ~$200 for a YYF Titanium Dream (on the indigogo campaign).
like many others, I’m not sure I will part with ‘Dream’ money again, there are so many options in the $125 and below category. That said, I did manage to find a B-grade Hideyoshi for $99, and, I consider that to be the best deal I’ve gotten (it is B-grade for vibe, that said, it has less vibe than I can notice).
$1 for a yoyo at a dollar store. Cheap chinese steel with a bearing in it, painted black and silver to look like a tire. Play was meh…Still haven’t spent $100+ on a single throw yet, but have at least spent 700+ all together.
It’s more angular than I expected it to be from the pictures, which makes it look better imo. As a result there’s not much contact during fingergrinds so I could actually get over 10 seconds on finger grinds, best out of any yoyo I’ve ever played. The shape also makes it a BEAST at horizontal, one of if not the best yoyo for it. Downside is it’s not the most comfortable yoyo in the hand or on a bad catch but I think the sleek look more than makes up for it
Outside of that it’s very fast, stable, and powerful like the Masamune with a more interesting feel on the string. I really wish I could compare the feel to the Irony JP but I haven’t had one in over 2 years so my memory’s kind of hazy.

12 bucks for that first FHZ.
3 bills for my Magnum.
Unlike Aaron I will spend magnum money again if it was worth it to me but I haven’t seen that deal ywet.
Most was on the Salti (preorder, came with mixtape yoyo) at $250. It took some convincing of myself to pull the trigger.
Least I’ve spent was $2.99
Average I’ve spent has been in the middle at $100-150 range but that’s come to a halt as of the past few months thanks to that lovely unemployment. Fingers crossed that I land this “dream job” that I had my interview for the other day :)…then I can not feel so bad if I decide to pick up a throw that sparks my interest.
