You could always search by keyword in this particular thread. EDIT: Ok maybe not this particular thread, you’d have to search in General. It’d be nice if there was an option to filter searches by thread. I suppose you could always Ctrl + F but I don’t think that works for unloaded portions of the thread; you’d have to scroll all the way to the top first. EDIT: Or you could bookmark/favorite this thread then search for a specific yoyo in threads you bookmarked. ---

> [@LinksLegionaire](#): > > It’d be nice if there was an option to filter searches by thread. Assuming I’m understanding your intention, there is. It is the default behavior if you start a search inside a thread using the keyboard shortcut (e.g. ⌘+F). You’ll see an **‘IN THIS TOPIC’** filter automatically applied. If you search by clicking on the search icon (again from inside a thread) then you just have to make sure you click on the ‘ **in this topic** ’ option rather than just hitting enter. Of course, none of this solves the real problem of some people in this thread throwing out appraisal values that are wildly inaccurate guesses based on nothing more than what they would be willing to pay. ---

If it had been linked for sale by other people, this one like the yoyos it is selling, it would never have reached similar prices (the Styker, yoyo in its time of little interest and success, is another clear other proof of this). ---

> [@persson](#): > > in my opinion this evaluation is totally distorted by the notoriety So you think the person who purchased that Lava Peak overpaid? Couple of years prior a Hulk Smash Peak went for $650. Now on the BST market I don’t feel that Peaks can get those numbers due to the buyer pool. That’s why I always recommend auction if you want to get maximum market value. ---

> [@Exmime](#): > > So you think the person who purchased that Lava Peak overpaid? I am convinced that he paid too much for it and that that is an absolutely unrepresentative price. The fact that the seller, known and esteemed producer who declares that these objects belong to his personal collection, in my opinion has a great weight in the imagination of potential buyers who evidently see some sort of added value in this (not for me) and in fact, I said, I challenge any of you to sell a Stryker and see if anyone is willing to give you around $ 300 (including taxes and shipping) to get it. Now, of course, we are talking about objects (Peak) that are hardly seen for sale and that have an aura of notable myth, both for their colors and limited editions of them, which at the time were undoubtedly unique and a distinctive sign from the which then all the rest of the world took over (in a nutshell, they made history). This translates into the simple rule that reference prices cannot exist and derive from the rare historical moments in which the offer (of people who can and want without major problems) comes to meet the request… but every situation is not very representative. and it cannot be, in my view, considered as a fixed point to refer to for the future. For example, in light of this sale, the question I ask myself is, how much is my Grizzly Bear Clown Town worth then?!?! I know for sure, and I can even declare it, $ 0! and I think you can also understand why, but then this is also a value to refer to for future transactions? (take the ironic and provocative tone, I hope) so, how to do it … search for trades that have taken place over the years and make an average … then decide to your own conscience how far you want to go … ---

i asked the question to a group of friends - will the recent sale of steve’s personal spyy collection, and the peak he had up, have an impact on overall spyy and peak prices a commentor noted that spyy prices have been higher than normal recently regardless, to which i agree with. pures, pistos and ranchos are prime examples. it was also noted that peak prices are high lately, which - you can’t get them on the bst, but anything over $400-$500 on a 2nd run peak should be clean and at least part of a limited run. keep in mind, the ebay factor plays a huge favtor on final price, what the seller recoups, and how that price compares on the bst. a seller can pay out up to 20% on a sale through ebay. bst prices you can frequently come out better than ebay, but you’re also playing with a buyer pool that’s more finicky. on ebay you have a wider net - sometimes - but you’ll have folks that won’t bid solely because it’s an ebay sale. i’d wager that peak would have sold about $600 on the bst, maybe a bit more. but there’s a lot of second runs that shouldn’t touch that ---
