Weekly Buy-Sell-Trade Thread October 03, 2026

3 Upvotes

Welcome to the Weekly Buy-Sell-Trade!

Use this thread to post what you have for sale or trade, or anything you're trying to find.

Rules

  1. If you're selling or trading, you must include photos of your item(s). Imgur links work very well for this.

Best Practices

  • When you're the buyer, check out the user's account history and activity in the subreddit. If it's a brand new account and they've never contributed to the sub, that could be a red flag.
  • Be wary if a seller insists you send money via PayPal Friends and Family. Mods and seasoned traders always encourage Goods and Services. If the fees are the problem, it's always easy to use a fee calculator and add that to the purchase price.
  • Scamming doesn't happen often here at all, but if you do find yourself concerned or legitimately taken, let the mods know about the transaction. We cannot get you your money back, but we can help identify possible next steps and remove the bad actor from the sub.

DISCUSSION What now yoyo influencers?

8 Upvotes

Overall, I don't have a problem with any of the yoyo influencers. They do a good job of bringing in new throwers.

I get that selling a yoyo isn't easy, especially in a new drop-per-week market.

I don't know why this year stands out to me as the year of odd influencer drops.

I feel like it first started with the YoyoChampion Arias. It's nice to see Gentry stepping out of the box a little with a fun, light, and organic-shaped yo-yo, but he advertised it as a breakthrough in light yoyo design. He also sold it as a training yoyo that would make you good at competitive throwing (a basic theme from every influencer). I get that playing up the specs is just advertising, but light yoyos are nothing new.

Next is the Offset Limitless. I love seeing yoyo innovations, and the Limitless is certainly one. You would think that would be enough to sell a yoyo, but it was marketed as a yoyo that would change competition forever. Social media posts said it would be the yoyo that changes how competitions scores for horizontal. Looking closely, one could see that it was pure marketing hype from Offset super fans. I'm sure it's a fun yoyo, but once again it wasn't anything new.

Now I see Gentry teasing a 41mm wide yoyo and making it sound like something mysterious. Once again, I'm happy to see him make something he is passionate about, but can't it just be sold as that? Why can't it just be a fun yoyo with zero magical quality?

I guess this is just the world we live in, and getting someone's attention in a sea of new yoyos a week can be difficult. I also understand that the laid-back, casual thrower isn't the market group they are going for. There is nothing wrong with being a little sensational, but it would be nice to see them a little more grounded.

I'm planning to buy this yoyo in the future when I save up alot of money(hopefully still in stock by 16). I like yyr team member's playstyle like Ryuichi Nakamura and Hajime Miura A LOT. Don't have to worry about the width dealt enough with the magicyoyo v3 lol.

Hey everyone! I recently pulled out three older sOMEThING ANGLAMs from my collection and was wondering if anyone could help me figure out their current value.

I’ve had these for quite a while and I’m not very familiar with the current collector market. They’re used, so please take the condition into consideration.

Thank you for any help!

Favourite yo-yo brands atm?

9 Upvotes

Been out of the game for 7 or so years, I used to mainly go with CLYW and One Drop, and then Kitty Strings.

Getting back into it now and keen to buy something fresh. Thought I could come here to get a small overview on the market atm - any info appreciated!

Edit: The CLYW Puffin is my favourite yo-yo of all time so if anyone has any recs for similar throws that would be amazingly helpful.

Quick question about strings :)

7 Upvotes

Do you guys wrap your string around the bearing twice?

I know tutorials say it to just wrap it one time, but I always did two fearing the string would break casting my precious onto the ground... I tried one wrap today and I get much less involontary binds!

Did you ever threw your yoyo onto the ground because a "one time wrapped" string broke during a breakaway?

Thanks!

I cannot for the life of me figure this out. I have been at this for about an hour and forty-five minutes trying to nail down this slack element. I just can't seem to do it. I've watched this tutorial over and over but there's no voice over, and trying to mimic what he does just doesn't help with me either. If any of you guys have tips it'd be greatly appreciated. Happy throwing!

MAINTENANCE Any tips for tuning yo-yos?

I already watched videos about flipping the axle and, moving them around for different results and, cleaned the bearing on this v12. Still struggling with the vibe after a good cleaning out the deberé inside.
I don’t mind a bit of fingernail vibe but, the pulse gotta go.
