October is coming up and I want to hear your yoyo horror stories. Rip offs, overpaying, theft, ghostly encounters, injuries or just something freaky/scary you witnessed while yoyoing. Can’t wait to hear what you may have to share! ---

I paid $160 retail for a TP Solenoid. Fairly recently, actually. I like it, but a 6061 made in China yoyo probably should have been a little cheaper. ---

Yea the extra time is really making me consider if I REALLY want a second Klondike. It’s an amazing throw but I’m so indecisive. I want a few other yoyos and maybe a good set of 3a yoyos and the value proposition of 135 for a yoyo I already have (in a different color) is getting harder to justify when I want to try new things too. ---

> [@bigstupidbees](#): > > the value proposition of 135 for a yoyo I already have (in a different color) is getting harder to justify when I want to try new things too. This is where I’m at, and especially around the holiday season when new yo-yos and good deals start popping up. Gonna be so hard to pass up on though lol, I may end up getting one and then selling my 28’s. Also the BBB is gonna be $145 at least that’s what it shows on Rewind 😭 ---

Yeah I had my eye on the Clearview Station one, I don’t love BBB especially not for an additional 10. Plus I should start christmas shopping soon, sometimes it takes a while to find the perfect thing for some of my giftees. On-topic; I smashed my plastic 000 into the ground off a bad bind and totally annihilated it. The bearing seat is cracked and does not sit flat on one side. ☹ I may buy another but I don’t know. I guess it’s a display stand now lol ---

Yup that’s why I bring cheap yos to concerts and similar stuff. It’s unfortunate but it doesn’t break my heart. I’m glad I didn’t do this to something more expensive! ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/a/9/6a9863c8a7709bbba7f83a34deb465b4db93dfc8.jpeg) I didn’t even realize the crack went all the way through till I looked a bit closer just now! :joy:😭 ---

I hit myself in the eye with my Legendary Terrarian the other day. Not the socket, the actual eyeball. Luckily, it was a soft throw and I had Ultralights installed. It could’ve been worse. Safety throws save eyes! ---
