$90-100 on the BvM2 imo. I’ve seen 2 MIB Clareview BvM2s sold for $100 recently which I thought was a really fair price, actually sorta wish I bought one of them. I personally don’t much care if something has a tiny scuff that I can’t feel but some people do so that brings it down a few bucks. BvM2 seems to have a popular following as a player but for whatever reason they don’t seem to go for a ton on the BST compared to some other models. ---

Obscure brand, peculiar/unpopular bearing setup and it uses a sticker for its “colorway” options. The only review I read for it states that it is a $60 retail yoyo as well, no clue where you’re getting $110. The shape looks decent but the colorways/stickers and beefcake turn me off (and I’m one of the few who love normal A-bearing throws), I honestly wouldn’t pay $20 shipped for it. Dude, this thing is the bomb, totally $100 player. As for the beefcake, the bearing seats sit lower, so its really just like 2 halfs of a bearing, which makes 1 haha. It also used to be $110 when I bought it. Check out [online store link removed]. But now for some reason they discounted it to $60. Stickers as a colorway? It has not colorway, the stickers I have are different depending on the sun. If its worth $35 or lower, Its never leaving me because it sure plays $90+… ---

Doesn’t change the fact that it’s a $60 retail yoyo that is sitting on the shelves. As a rough comparison, I think the Mutant DNA is a really fun and unique throw. I believe it was $140 retail and is now discontinued and unavailable in stores (and never had to be discounted). Unfortunately nobody is knocking down the doors to my BST to buy mine. > [@DrAwesome](#): > > ^ looks like it’s never leaving you. lol post of the day. Well, post of the yesterday. ---

Pretty sure the Hatrick has a bigger following than the Essence but I don’t think either is in terribly high demand. I had an unengraved grey/blue Hatrick and Essence, both first run and mint and they weren’t easy to sell/trade and they were both quite rare. I traded my Essence to the right person for something I ended up getting about $100 out of (after a couple more trades, bye bye shipping costs) and sold my Hatrick for $90-100 as I recall. Pretty much what modman said imo, $70-80ish for a mint one in general seems reasonable, $100ish if there’s something special about it. ---

Better condition of the two is probably worth more. The one on the right is a custom ano and usually customs don’t sell as well as production colors.
