    Yoyos

    Anybody here come across yoyos while scrapping, or even yoyo themselves? I've been thinking about it lately, and have been thinking about becoming a buyer for yoyos here, among other things. And yes, they are scrapping related since the newer ones are made of metal (and one model is titanium!) I have four years or so experience with yoyos and yoyoing, and have a collection of about 15 yoyos.

    Having a new buyer around here sounds interesting, but be careful buying; I hear market prices on yoyos are really up and down.

    Yeah, all kidding aside, yoyos are a great collectible. They don't just sit on a shelf collecting dust, you can actually make 'em do something. I'll have to check out your vids.

    Was just walking the dog around the world I have a yoyo you may be interested in, he lives on a sand bar and as soon as I get him wrapped and packed I will send him your way. The cooler he comes with...consider it a gift from me to you

    When I was in grammar school the yoyo was popular. Remember the Duncan butterfly? I had a yellow one got real good at the up and down part. My sister had gone to Europe and brought me back an Italian one with lights it was awesome. It hit the floor and split in half, sure miss that yoyo. I think this was around 1972.
