I know these are worth some :cheese:
Any thoughts how much? Also anyone know if the green is more rare?

Maybe like $100+ range. I’m not sure about the difference in color on these. Also eBay has been crazy on its prices so it could be way more or less.

That’s the Jewel Fireball. This one is a Yomega Brain “The Jewel” and last one I saw I think went in the $250 range and it had some wear on it. I’m listing this and going for the jugular vein. I think I’ll keep one of them not sure which color yet. Thanks for the replies!

I’m not, but I am originally from MA. Fall River is where lots of Durfees are from, and Bordens, (of Lizzie Borden fame) who intermarried at some point.

I have a question out of curiosity about YoyoJam yoyos in general. I know that they have not had a good track record of holding resale value, especially with all the pressure cracks that form in the hubs of their hybrid models, but as both a casual player and collector of this company’s line, I’m wondering if there is an uptick or an expected uptick in the collector value of YYJ yoyos (in general)?

I’ve noticed that prices on eBay seem to be higher lately for some YYJ throws, some even surpassing their original prices. I’ve also noticed that certain older yoyos like the Turbo Bumblebee GT and others from Playmaxx are now more expensive more than they were decade after Duncan bought Playmaxx. Are we looking at the beginning of a similar trend with YYJ?

Yoyojam has definitely gone up on value. Looking at the bolt specifically that sold for $80 and the modded kicksides going for $50. People like the classic yoyojams but I don’t think yoyojam will ever skyrocket. The collectable versions of playmaxx where limited runs that didn’t have any issues.

Lasted almost 3 hours on eBay. I think the blue jeweled one is probably worth even more.

That’s insane - I have one too, though mine has been opened.

Wonder if any of these have any value. Thanks, Jim

laminates up $100, maybe more for the rainbow, likely less for the other… dependent on condition… painted roller $20-$30, painted no jive $20… redline $50ish, maybe more… pocket pockets maybe $40… these are all assuming mint

Sweet throw but I don’t think generalyo has been as popular lately because they have kind of left the yoyo scene.
