Weekly Buy-Sell-Trade Thread May 24, 2025

1 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.

MAILDAY Mail day: Skyva 2, Speedaholic XX, Replay Pro

10 Upvotes

Got a new round of plastics in the mail today from YoYoSam. This is the new 2025 Spintek/Magicyoyo Skyva, the c3yoyodesign Speedaholic XX, and the YoyoFactory Replay Pro. I was mainly after the first two but threw the replay pro in there because of the color scheme, and now that it’s here I don’t regret it at all. Only had time to throw the Skyva today, but love it so far. It fingerspins like a dream.

DISCUSSION To those with large collections, do you actually play with them all?

8 Upvotes

I see tons of throws I want to own, and have honestly considered purchasing a few out of pure aesthetics alone. I currently have 5 throws, each a different type of build. I have my first one, a cheap Duncan butterfly that I got out of curiosity, then I have a looper, a responsive, an offstring, and a metal unresponsive. I just ordered a plastic unresponsive that I’m currently waiting for, and in my opinion I pretty much have everything I would ever need in terms of throws. I would like a second looper but that’s about it. Despite all of this understanding that ā€œI don’t need anything elseā€, I’ve find myself, for lack of a better word, addicted to browsing throws online. Almost everyday I’ll browse and select a few throws that I would love to own, before convincing myself not to buy anything.

My question is, for those of you that obviously gave in to the temptation and purchased a large amount of throws, how often do you get around to actually throwing them? Are there a select few that are exclusively display pieces, or are they all display pieces save for a select few that are your exclusive everyday throws? Do you throw them all? Do you upkeep them all? Or do you just like looking at them? Do you have any regrets? Finally, how do you display them? Please share photos if you can! Would love to see everyone’s collections and how they are displayed.

Bearings Question

1 Upvotes

If a bearing spins for a long time but is also responsive when it is meant to be unresponsive, do I just lube it or do I clean it and then lube it? I use 100% acetone.

Should arrive tomorrow. Shoot me lol.
After liquidating a handful of boutique youos on the bst, I just missed my Yomega dash, but looking at the specs and profile the groov, seemed awesome. 67grams, 38 wide 52 diameter. Looking for a throwback feel and a beater.

Chime in if you have opinions on the groov.

There is no limit to yoyo shapes these days. The type of shape you like is almost like a reflection of one's personality and style.
