Just like the title says.
Iāve been using yoyoexpert for most of my purchases. Or I just buy them from the manufacturer on their website when they drop hyped yoyos. Overseas online stores take longer and are more expensive to ship.
I like buying things direct from the manufacturer whenever I can, and when I canāt do that I buy from YYE because of all the support they give to the community.
I prefer YoyoExpert by far. Everything about the buying experience is exceptional. The webstore, even with its minor faults, is by far the best Iāve seen. The selection is unbeatable. Shipping is fast and reliable, and the customer support is unsurpassed. I really canāt say enough good things about buying from YYE. The only reason I would buy a yoyo from somewhere else is if YYE didnāt carry it for some reason (G2 and YoyoFriends are two examples that come immediately to mind).
Yeah, but arenāt yoyo manufacturers disqualified from consideration (based on the thread title) since their online stores are made for selling skill toys?
Trueā¦didnāt read that careful I guess
YYF FTW!
Only other place I typically buy is direct from source, and BST. I have purchased from Amazon and AliExpress in the past, but Iād never do it again. It just feels wrong
YYF? Did you mean YYE?
Yes, yes I did. Lol
(thanks autocorrect)
YYE Allday.
I really only buy yoyos at contests so that I can try the exact one and there is no shipping.
Iāll try to use YYE/BST as much as I can. I just made my first YYE order earlier this week and the package is waiting on my doorstep as I type this.
Iām new to all of this; but, Iāve learned a ton here already, have gotten some great advice from some members, and have watched the trick videos until my phone dies. I feel like the least I can do is reciprocate by spending money when I need something.
The point of this question is lost on me.
Basically, what is better:
- a store that sells a lot of stuff AND yoyos?
or
- a store that sells ONLY yoyos (more or less)?
I understood the question. I said the āpointā of the question was lost on me. Like what is the reason someone would want to know this information.
I dunno manā¦ reasonsā¦ and stuffā¦
YYE (10 characters)
Ive only gotten from bst, and Amazon so far, I would only buy new again from yye unless they dont carry what Iām looking for.
Groceries and TP can generally be had satisfactorily from any of a number of suppliers. When I need a specialized item, I prefer to buy it from the Experts.
What I want to know is; if you were going to buy a yo-yo. Would you buy it from somebody or somebody else?
On a more logical note>>
If the product you are looking for is available at both: Yoyoexpert and āanother Store that sells mainly non-skill toy stuff but also sells yo-yos; are you more likely to buy from the Store that provides a multi functional Forum at absolutely no charge. And sells a multitude of skill toys at all price points. A store owned by a National Yoyo Master that provides for Free; a full spectrum of yoyo tutorials. And Sponsors Yoyo Contests all over the World. And somewhat as a way to say thanks and extend that gratitude by patronizing YYE as your small way of helping AndrĆ© keep the ball rolling so the Store may be around for years to come so that others maybe interested in yoyos will also have a place to chill and learn some moves.
Or would you rather just buy from some non skill toy shop that does nothing to educate or support or provide you with a free place to compare thoughts and ideas with like minded people?
How could there be more than one correct answer?
