I’ll spend up to $120 if I’m really into something. If I really like the shape/specs of a yo and it’s $80 or under it’s pretty much a guaranteed pickup. I’ve been wanting to get my first titanium but it would need to be secondhand for ~$300 or less and fall directly into the shape and specs I prefer. ---

I don’t really have a limit, but if I’m spending above like 20-30 bucks for a yoyo, I need to feel like there’s a good reason I’m paying above that. A yoyo just “playing good and being smooth” is not enough. Yoyos are worth the time it took to proto, the amount of actual effort that went into testing them, the number of protos, the intent and goals behind the design. There’s value in the years of design experience and level of effort the designer put into understanding how to actually create the yoyo they envision. The labor costs and QC process behind the production of the yoyo. How many contests the company sponsors and how much they give back to the players who promote them (only giving free product is a weak sponsorship deal (assuming the player is actually putting in time/effort to promote the company.) I’m not going to arbitrarily pigeon hole what any random yoyo is worth when the above metrics can radically shift the value of a yoyo. That being said I don’t think most yoyos are actually matching up to what they’re valued at. Especially the value of a lot of boutique yoyos. When people aren’t investing their own time into actually studying yoyo design, learning CAD and being able to pick apart every facet of yoyo design, and they’re basically just commissioning out a bunch of work to other people, and only doing 1 (if any protos), and the proceeds are just going towards making more yoyos. That’s worth very little to me. In a world where 20-30 dollar amazon yoyos can stack up to the highest end stuff extremely well, every yoyo is very expensive compared to those. If I’m paying more than that I want to know that the yoyo I’m buying exists for a good reason (the designer just wanting to make a yoyo for fun is not a good enough reason), and the amount of effort that went into it matches the price. I’m happy to pay around 200-300 dollars for a yoyo regardless of the materials or construction. The value of yoyos is so incredibly cooked. Because of how cheap _good_ yoyos have gotten. ---

The most I’ve paid is $115. Any more than $70 and I need to give it some serious thought. I would say $120 is probably my current cap. As much as I’d love a Ti, my skills and income don’t warrant it at this time. Maybe some day! ---

My limit is probably around 79 dollars. I have an IQ, I would have passed on it if I was the one to buy it. It was a work gift. My supervisor was like we have $100 dollars to spend and it just so happened YYF had sent their discount code. So that’s how I got it. I really want the Shutter Evo, but unless they come out with a mono version it’s currently in the pass column. ---

It depends on the yoyo, I don’t have a hard limit. If I want it badly enough I’ll spend whatever it takes, especially when it comes to the brands I’m most interested in collecting. I’ve gotten much much better about not buying whatever the flavor of the moment happens to be, unless it happens to match my preferences. My biggest weakness now is anything pretty unique or on the extremes of yoyo design, even if I’ve never heard of whoever made the yoyo before, I’m probably going to buy. I’m also a sucker for a really cool engraving or super cool colorway, I’ll be very tempted to buy even if the yoyo doesn’t fit my preferences. ---

My most expensive throw as of now is a Draupnir which I spent $250 on. I am in the market for a ~$300 Ti throw though. Don’t anticipate venturing past that. Expensive limited edition stuff doesn’t really catch my eye… then I’ll just be scared to play with it! ---

RSO’s Droid was $480 and that’s the most expensive purchase I’ve made, so I’d say around $500 is my ceiling.
