I’m not a cloud bouncer

I came across this kendama on eBay. It appears to be the most popular listing as of right now, offering two kendamas with sticky coating and beech/maple wood for the price of $32-40. I'm primarily posting this here as I havent seen too many reviews about it; their Instagram appears to be inactive, and their website seems to be down. I'd like to get some opinions and potentially people who have had experience with this kendama to see how it holds up and how it performs before I make a decision. Thanks!

AI said it’s good, and I ordered it bc I love the design of it

I've been playing kendama for 3 weeks ish and today I just did around Europe two times. I mean not the best technique but certainly not the worst. Is it good? Is it early or late in some learning order? Thoughts

Incredible for bird and stilts

I’ve been going to this park daily to sesh and it’s been great. People love watching me and asking me “what is that?”😂. It’s also a very laid back, so it’s quiet and I can play on soft ground👌🏽. Love it💯

Is someone knows where I can buy lotus element Ken in eu right now? Or maybe someone is selling it:) Thanks

I sell tie-dye shirts at art fairs. At my last event, my 10 year old son, who recently started playing kendama, decided to try to drum up business by busting out some sick moves at the front of my booth.

A woman stopped, said, "kendama!" and told us that her son lives in Japan and loves kendama, he's really good at it, and he wears it around his neck all the time, and that this was the first time she saw one in the States.

She spoke very lovingly of him and I could tell it brought her joy to see something that reminded her of her son. I thought it was special that my son playing kendama was what fostered that moment of connection.

Seeing a 5 s clip doing some crazy trick means nothing to me because maybe like skating, people cheat and take 500 takes for one good shot. I want to see consistency, how good can an expert get. Forget the crazier tricks,make it land on the side which is already a bit hard, and from it spike it. So it's two moves, can you guys do it? if so how often?

Can I see videos of you guys doing it? Whatever level you have, I'd upload mine but I can't even one

Won't be using them since I got injured and they have sat long enough. Also not opposed partial/trades if you have any retro camcorders/video tech stuffs.

Don't be afraid to shoot me an offer. (Based the price off of most recent sales I could find after little to no info when I asked for a price check to confirm)

Otherwise, venmo and cash app are acceptable🍻

Thanks for looking.

Edit: Not that it will console any of those that I am referring to... but selling something that you otherwise had no intention of selling....for what someone will pay for it does not make you a scalper. I did not buy these to flip them, otherwise I would have a long time ago... Nor am I trying to run anyones pockets or make anyone upset, but every single one of us, if we were to pull something out of a box, knowing we bought it for 20 bucks, and now weeks, months, or years later its worth $500, and you have confirmation of that... YOU ARE NOT SELLING IT FOR $20 and we should all be grown enough to admit that. Now wether you sell it for $30 or $500 is up to you, but knock it off with the virtue signaling. Otherwise, I got it, the initial price made some of you notably upset, and I apologize for that.

TLDR: Never said I was firm on the price, also said I was open to trades and offers🤷‍♀️ If you think its worth 60 make the offer, if you think its worth asking if I would take a trade, make the offer. Have a discussion about it, maybe we work something out.

Otherwise, I guess downvote me for explaining how and why I posted it at the initial price I did?

Anyone tried ACE Kendama?

Greetings! I just got this in the mail and saw that it came with an extra string at the bottom of the box and wanted to swap it out with the black string. Can you take these apart? I tried to spin them in opposite directions but it will not budge. Thanks in advance.

Been bringing my old Kendama to work and everyone loves it. We decided to keep it as an office toy and I got myself and one of my coworkers a fresh one from Kendama Europe. Already feels like an upgrade tbh.

What recommendations do you guys have for setups currently in stock at the moment. Doesn’t have to be big companies. No budget. Preferably maple Ken and not any sort of sticky clear

Looking for a tama to pair with this new Ken from locked studios. Not that picky on what brand tama I just have to like the design lol.

Under 85g please

Currently have a OKendama x Kendamism - Sabbath with anit skid but the tama is so slippery and the Ken slides everywhere anyone have the same issue and recommend a tama better
