i bought/traede for 6-7 OG spyy this year (including prepro raw OG flying V)

i wouldnt value over 110

although some might think it is 170, when it sit on bst for 5 months until someone is willing to pay this, value might not be 170 in that case after all then

Argee with the above pricing. What makes the V more unique is that it is an @edhaponik signature and he is still very active and has a lot of fans. The colorway is also reminiscent of Eddy Van Halen’s guitar :guitar:. 170 may be on the highest end, maybe more around $130 highlighting the other factors might give it more perceived value, do you also have the extra bearing and pads? These could also be set up responsive.

I think I overpaid then :’( but it looks like it comes with all the extras

I mean I wouldn’t part w mine for that, so…
to me it’s a pretty good deal! :guitar:

Honestly, I think it’s rad that you have that yo-yo. Definitely one of my favorites I’ve ever been involved with. Gives me a ton of nostalgia!

As a little kid, I used to have dreams of owning a SPYY Addiction. I’m not joking.

Those are, well, uh… 15-ish years older than I am.

You never got in the YOMEGA ZONE?!

Unfortunately–I never did, though I bet I’m the only kid born in 2009 who knows how to use a VHS tape.

There were a bunch of allyoyo high walls. More than the actual production

A couple higby high walls were released as well

You can find a lot of the numbers on the projectredaleet blog with the way back machine

Snowcrush, hatehatehate and Chris were the rarest 07 888

I always loved the purple editions

Imgur

My very old flickr. You can see a higby 401k in there as well

Don’t own any of them anymore

Edit: found the red alert page with some 888 numbers

Anyone have an idea what a mint purple/black halfswap (1/1 or 1/2) ano-test Grind Mutant 2 would go for these days? I think it has a “certificate of authenticity” or some paper saying what it is since it was auctioned off back in May 2020 IIRC.

No pic currently since it’s on the other side of the country from me, just curious since i’m in pare-down mode.

Can anyone help me with reasonable selling prices for these ? I would like to neither bankrupt anyone who buys nor undercut anyone else who may sell similar in the future. Let “reasonable” be the guiding principle, please.

While I am in the mood (and have the energy) I will be trying to get these into the hands of people who have a use for them. There is more. There is so much more. How did this happen ?

@DocPop might be interested in that mongoose with the viper shells. I think he collects stuff like that, if I’m not mistaken.
