Well for all you lazy ass rich kids out there, THIS is for you. All the company assets for American Spinners! Never heard of it? According to Yo-Yo Wiki They stared in 1988. ONLY made 1 piece classic shaped yo-yos till around 1999. Also, in the description they said it was used to win world and national championships, which is true. Bill DeB used them to win Worlds and Nats in both 1994 and 1995. Also American Spinners used female models to try and sell there yo-yos, just like Hspin does now.
Also, no, I didn’t write the description on eBay for them. Their grammar is just that bad!
All this can be yours for $25,000! what a steal!
what a freaking ripoff. it makes $3,141,592.65 for Anti-yo seem worth it.
35897932384 is as far as I ever remember, each digit brings 10 times more accuracy!
lol, I’m watching it to see if any one bids!
If anyone wants to make their own old-fashioned, one-piece wooden yo-yos, here’s how to have your very own American Spinners.
1. Develop a logo.
2. Contact Elfverson, the manufacturer that produced the yo-yos for American Spinners. (As well as Duncan, Duncan repros, Cheerio, Hi-Ker, Parker, and tons of other companies back in the day). You can get them through their website, http://www.elfverson.se/English.htm. Talk to David Paajanen, he’s a great guy and very easy to work with.
3. Get the yo-yos manufactured and shipped to you. Either have Elfverson quote you on a packaged, finished good or package them yourself (which is what American Spinners appeared to do, hence the aftermarket, unprinted packaging with a cheap, black-and-white paper insert.
4. Make a noble attempt to sell a one-piece wooden yo-yo in today’s market.
5. Fail miserably.
6. Lick your wounds, and then call a machinist to knock off whatever metal yo-yo strikes your fancy that week. For details on how to contact a machinist and produce something of inferior quality and appearance, please contact Alex Kim.
