It’s really not a popular yoyo considering it’s dual starburst. I know the ones dyed by dave are still in the $20 range along with the glow ones but a stock mint one is worth around $12 and I would think a damaged one would be around $7.

How do you tell if they were dyed by Dave?

for the most part this type of mod brings the value down drastically, but without seeing it it’s hard to tell

caps like that are the dead giveaway along with the worlds editions

most have a splatter effect similar to this

Guess I was in the ballpark on the Hatrick and on another planet with the Essence when I was responding to people. Had a crazy offer on it months ago before I ever thought I’d sell anything that prolly made me sorta biased…wish I remembered who it was.

For the Jack Rabbit the “decent amount of damage” prolly hurts it a lot. I’m not sure JR is a super desirable colorway to begin with even if it’s a rare one (though I really like it). I could see getting like $60-70 out of it I guess.

Not exactly an “appraisal” but the answer to the question determines whether I want the yoyo or not so figured I’d put it here…

Does anyone know if the Canadian Tuxedo ACs were from the heavier or lighter run?

For curiosity:  
Blasted rose Stargazer with sandblasted rims (idk what the original owner was thinking). got a ding.

I’m also planning on buying a solid colored Skywalker. I’ve seen them go for $90-100. Would you say that’s fair?

I’d say at present $80-$100 is the going rate, but regardless this is a steal. Honestly. 🙂

What would be the appraisal of a used/dinged ILYY St. Eel. I have been trying to trade it but no takers. Within the last month I added new Ir-Pads, a new YYR ds size-d bearing, and im gonna let mullicabob get it show room ready, meaning polished and smoothened.

Im looking for around 100-110 but what do you guys think.

You may not be happy to hear this, but I’d say around $60. ILYY really isn’t holding its value well on the second and market, and the community is trending away from small yoyos.

I agree with the $60 on the St. Eel. I’ve bought/sold three of them and that’s around what I got for it each time.

What about a non mint STYY Lotus?

Styy doesn’t hold value at all

I ended up having to sell my remnant 1 for $15

I would think $30 for the lotus

If I am not mistaken only the first run was heavier and Canadian tuxedo was not offered on the first run.
