Is there any dating on the package? Duncan did a lot of replica runs that aren’t worth much. If that one is original, maybe worth a little bit. @rickbr

Probably not a replica if it’s coming from grandma’s bin. 🙂

It’s not a replica, but it’s also not very valuable—partly because this yo-yo is still fairly common, even more than 60 years later, and can still be found new in its original polybag.

Anyone know what the value of this might be? It’s a 7075 Arctic Circle 2. Not really sure what to price it since I haven’t seen any on the bst recently

Anyone know what these are going for these days? I haven’t bought or sold yo-yos for a bit. The orca and wm2 are mint but the chief has a slight mark on the rim.

Hey guys, decided to try and get back into yoyos after like 15 years. I got this red wooly marmot here, it doesn’t have the marmot picture and someone sanded the rims. Worth anything?

Thanks a lot

Edit\* didn’t know there’s an appraisal thread, I tried to delete this and post there but can’t delete so I flagged it. Sorry

Well, I know WM are sought after, I’m sure in any condition it’s worth something. There is and appraisal thread you could post in, someone may know its actual value.

But if you enjoy playing it, you should hang onto it!

$120 would be my guess, if it was just a ding it would bring more, but the sanded rims diminish value more imo. If mint $200

As far as i know, this was somewhat limited edition of Wooly Marmot. Even in this condition it is worth a good amount, i think. Not sure about exact value, but something around 120 usd maybe?  
Considering dings and sanded rims, and if it still spins smooth.

I’d value it at maybe $150 if it actually is Jensen’s prototype then definitely more. I would keep it if I were you tho, this is one of those yoyos that I guarantee you will regret selling!

Agreed, after you mentioned it being a proto and belonging to Jensen I’d also say $150+

Are the TI peaks worth much these days?

Or a later run Adam Brewster peak?

Adam Brewster or any 3rd run peaks are at a premium right now. I would probably think $700ish for an excellent condition one just because that’s the version most people are looking for. Ti peaks are about $350ish maybe a little less or more depending on where you sell it. @smittylube

Not sure how much the damage would affect it but a prototype of the wooly marmot would be more than that no? I know some just bought a wooly marmot 1 for 265$, so depending on the damage but it being a proto type shouldn’t it go for a bit more than that?
