lots of those are pretty valuable, would recommend getting multiple opinions

chief $250-300+ these are hot right now  
avalanche $120+  
fools good glacier express $150+  
2009 888 maybe a bit lower, still near $100 though  
DNA also easily $100  
markmont next $200+

not as sure on value in the rest of them but the albatross/AC/bassline are def worth something

Hi Jake! Boxes and condition will help. If that 1st Run Chief is mint in box, I’d guess $500+. I purchased a 1st run silver Chief MIB for $300 but that was over 10 years ago. The Bushmen Avalanche is probs $175+. The FG are both $100+. Again condition and boxes will help greatly for collectors.

probably $300+ for the 888, haven’t seen one of those pop up on the BST in forever and other special ed. 888s tend to easily get over the $250 mark

the yoyonation 401ks had a special finish too and are REALLY rare, i’d put that also over $150-200, might be worth a lot to a collector

Hi everyone !

Out of curiosity could I get appraisal on these yoyos ;

CLYW Yeti (vibey)

CLYW Fool’s Gold Bonfire 7075 (can’t seem to find any info on 7075 Bonfire, pretty sure it was a test that didn’t pass quality control and was sold as Fool’s Gold)

One Drop Markmont Classic (some anno flaws, probably a B-grade as well)

One Drop Gradient

Thanks a lot !

MMC- $200-250 if thats a nickel one, if it’s clear anno 120-150. People want those side effects (seen them for sale for $30-50), so it’s worth more with them.

Yeti- 70-100 depending on the buyer and if it has the spacers

Gradient- $130 if mint/no damage and no vibe, 80 or less if not

Bonfire- maybe $70-100 if it’s a fools gold one and no damage

gradient $130+

splash gradients are REALLY hard to come by + broken heart is desirable

Lots of old throws from 2007-2011 ish. Any idea on prices for these?

Most are in good condition. I should have boxes for the CLYWs. Not sure on the rest.

@zxin I think I spy a 09 worlds P2…

The whole case has some serious value, especially the CLYW and the Projects. Some rough prices:

Peak - $700

Wooly Marmots - $300

Projects - $200-300 (depending on colourway)

Bassalope and BvM both around $250

I spot a Pure and a Stargazer, but another $200+ I’d guess

That rim dipped Skyline is so tempting
