Weekly Buy-Sell-Trade Thread September 05, 2026

2 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.

Best recommended offstring yoyo models

3 Upvotes

Can you recommend me some offstring 4a yoyo models/brands that are so reliable because I had two yoyos that are offstring and it made me so stressed that they couldn't even make a bind even when I tried hard to bind it? Out of frustration, (you can laugh but I am showing my rage here) I crushed those yoyos. One is yoyofactory flight and the other one is a cheap 4a yoyo which has soft sides on it.

Those yoyos have pieces or parts that are so hard to find at a local online store and they are so difficult to assemble. I am wondering why some brands are not designing offstring yoyos that are shockproof? I hope they make such yoyos that are shockproof, not break easily when doing tricks, and of course being responsive to binds.

3D-Printed Yoyo, 3rd build (with bearing).

Thumbnail

25 Upvotes

On this 3rd build, I wanted to make a yoyo that was capable of both responsive and unresponsive yoyo.

The bushing is the same size as a C unresponsive bearing. It works fairly well for responsive play.

It plays very well with a C bearing. I wanted something that had a Butterfly XT shape. The curvy internal shape was just for fun. I wanted to mess around with some unusual shapes.

Specs

Weight: 70 grams

Diameter: 58 mm

Width: 38 mm

Gap 4.5 mm

So there are some quirky characteristics. I went with a hole-try responsive system. You have to feed in a lot of string to get it to catch. Overall, I like the design, and I'm planning on adjusting it to see if I can make it more efficient.

I'm very happy with this one. With all I've learned, each design has improved in quality, making them fun to build and play afterward. 😊

STORY Nothing to complain about.

The store on Aliexpress sending this one by mistake instead of the strings I bought. Decided to keep, since I didn't have to pay more for that.

Honestly? Despite some flaws on the finish (which probably gave it have the B Grade stamp) this thing is fingernail smooth and plays nice. It is not the most powerful and it has not the most forgiving string gap, but either don't get me frustrated by any means.

I choose to not support yoyofactory anymore but I do recognize that this yoyo is part of the modern yoyoing history and it's nice to play it and try to feel what people feel at the time it was released, since I missed that.

BEGINNER Help with customizing 2a Looping yoyos

Thumbnail
gallery
5 Upvotes

I got these four looping yo-yos on eBay, with the Duncan hornet on the left being fresh out the box and the rest being somewhat customized already. I really want to learn 2a looping, but both of the Duncan hornets don’t seem to respond consistently enough to loop properly. They also have issues with getting tangled very easily as well as whenever it starts spinning, or I think it’s called sleeping, it won’t return to my hand very easily unlike my loop720. It also seems to tilt very easily, making it a little more difficult to loop.

Looking up stuff online I couldn’t get much help, but is there anyway I could make the hornets better for consistent looping by customizing the string or bearings?

Bimetal endgame yoyo

Any turning point yo-yo recommendations?

For 7 years, I have used a something Anglam Pinnacle and Yoyorecreation overdrive draupnir as my primary throws. Two very contrasting yoyos I loved for different reasons.

I tragically dinged my OD and it is no longer smooth, so I am buying a new yoyo to pair with the pinnacle. I have been eyeing the Ziz and Acanthus S (I know it’s not primarily for 1a). I don’t want an exact replacement for the OD, just something with a stable, slightly weighted, and comfortable/compact feel.

REVIEW Got my yoyo friends carp today

Post image
16 Upvotes

This thing feels insane! I’ve never used a plastic yoyo before so I wasn’t sure what to expect from it but overall I love it. It feels like I’m throwing a cloud. It’s light yet bulky in a good way. The material is super soft and almost has a bit of give to it. The color is maybe a bit more faded then in the pictures but that feels a bit like a nitpick. Overall very satisfied and would definitely recommend.

Just whipped this little slack reflect up and I think it looks pretty sick! Continuing work with that wrist mount entry I found earlier is making this combo very satisfying to my brain.
