You. I like you. You should post here more often, it would do the forums well to have you around alot more. :wink:

22

Have you factored in shipping costs? :wink:

23

Well even with shipping that probably brought it up to around $75. Still not bad in my opinion. First Class > Priority. Remember that and you’ll have all kinds of extra money

Got about 6 as gifts. Bought/ traded for the other 24.

I streete perform. For money.

27

how much could you make off of that?

28

56$ the first time, 58$ the second

29

Oh you definitely don’t need to tell me that hahaha.

30

So true. I still can’t understand why so many people on here insist on using Priority. It’s just as fast to do first class and saves you at least 3-4 dollars.

31

Priority is 2-3 days while First Class is 3 days or less (according to USPS). Though from experience I’ve found that FC is 3-5 days. And Priority can be as many as 4 days.

So yeah, about the same speed and much cheaper. NO DOWNSIDE :smiley:

Sorry for threadjacking hahaha.

32

Yeah, even if it is 1 day faster it isn’t worth the extra moolah.

33

Priority Mail has flat rate options, so from a business perspective it can be a bit easier to deal with calculating shipping, plus USPS supplies the boxes(which I know is factored into the rate, there is no “free” anyways).

My experience has been though that First Class is often as fast if not faster than Priority Mail. My issue is that mailing stuff through my local post office is a horrific experience, mostly due to the other clients(they seem to want to send big stuff and then pay in small coins) or the postage machine is out of stamps. Nothing better than waiting in line 45 minutes just because you want to mail a check to your insurance or DMV, or mail out something for BST!

I’ve always recommended that when people are sending me stuff, use the cheaper of the two options and keep the difference for themselves.

34

Casino winnings pay for most of my throws :). I buy most from yoyoexpert or from the bst. I’ve noticed a few people have connections with manufactures or get unreleased items at yoyo meets.

35

Presents to myself :wink: Graduation, new job, 4.0, etc. But it does come out of my own pocket.

36

I have a few people with collections so big, they are working on starting a museum, and also straight from the owners. This is the only way I buy yoyos except bst, and OD’s I buy from yye

You have people?
