Greetings club members!
The YYBC has been in talks with club member @Glenacius_K about the possibility of organizing a group buy for his upcoming unresponsive yoyo, the Flying Lemon. You can check out some additional details on the Flying Lemon here.
We’d like to take a quick poll to see if there is interest within the club for participating in a group buy. We would have Glen ship us a big box of Flying Lemons and would re-pack and ship them within CONUS.
Details
Our goal is going to be to offer the Flying Lemon to club members at somewhere in the $80-$85 range, shipped.
We would like to keep this to YYBC members (all you need to do is ask) in the CONUS.
Our goal would be to run the group buy as a pre-order, with money collected in advance.
My (@TryCatchThrow’s) best guess for timeline would be something like this:
- Yo-yos are manufactured but Glen has not yet received yoyos. He will receive, QA, and offer to retailers before us. I naively estimate this will take 1-2 months
- YYBC will run a group buy after this is all done. We would run the group buy for 1-2 weeks or until we filled a certain number of slots if only a certain number are available.
- Glen packs and ships yo-yos to YYBC representative in CONUS. Estimated 2 weeks.
- YYBC representative receives, breaks apart, and re-ships. Estimated 2 weeks.
My tl;dr: on all of that is that I expect we would run the group buy in July, with an estimated date at your door in September, but I want to be clear that this is a guess on my part.
Interest Check
Again, participating in the poll below is not a commitment, it is just an interest check.
Are you interested in participating in a YYBC exclusive group buy for the Spinworthy Flying Lemon?
- Hell yeah
- Def not
- I need more details
