Weekly Buy-Sell-Trade Thread July 18, 2026

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.

Bought this on a whim cause it looked sexy and I'm already in love. Light and floaty but still powerful. Can't wait to put in more time with it.

Man, it feels like forever since I last made a yoyo order. I can't wait for this one. :)

I am told there is a fun surprise with my order. Hopefully it's not another headshot of Gwyneth Paltrow. :D

Just a lovely pocket responsive. Smooth play and satisfying soft finish that is just a delight to the touch. You can get a blank bearing spacer from ZGRT as well and now you have a delicious fixie. Super nice for when you wanna keep it easy. 5 stars

QUESTION Just got the k2 crystal and I'm already losing my mind. Responsive bearing not... Responding?

3 Upvotes

Just got it out of the box, stringed it, gave it a few snap starts and no matter how I tug it's not catching at all

Definitely had the responsive bearing on it, though I tried the other one just in case and it didn't work either

Why might this be?

Maybe I should just keep the unresponsive on it and learn to bind 🤔

DISCUSSION Specific practice tricks?

2 Upvotes

I'm an advanced player so nothing like trapeze eli hops or any of that. Example would be rancid milk. That trick helps me practice tech tricks on the more complicated side. Does anyone else use any tricks to help overall play? Not trying to say I only practice one trick tho. Like reverse behind the back reverse brent stole helped a little with behind the back tricks when I first learned it. Also is doing this wasting my time.

BEGINNER practice yoyo for off-hand use

0 Upvotes

I bought a couple of MagicYoyo K3s to practice with my left hand, but I dropped them on concrete during my office breaks and now they need replacing.

For practice, what's the usual approach: one tough, durable yoyo that can take abuse, or a few cheap plastic yoyos that you're okay with replacing when they get beat up?

QUESTION Looking to pick up some Zipline string in Canada, any way to avoid the crazy shipping costs from the US from a third party site?

It’s going to cost something like 45 CAD to get 2x 3 packs from their website lol.

Anyone have similar string recommendations or ways to get these cheaper here? Thanks!
