that reflector yo yo from the 70s.. bottom right cosmo, theyre collectable hey. i was averaging a $100 a pop on ebay (unused condition since new) still got spares and champion coke models too from the same era.

Yep, I know they are collectable but they are definitely not for sale. That one at the front is mine from when I was a child of the 70's, I'm a bit of a yoyo fan. I can't believe you had one in unused condition, how do you do that?

Just had a quick look they are still selling quite well.

cosmo, i bought 12 coca cola yo yos off ebay, 6 reflectors 6 championship models from the early 70s.. came with an original box from the same era too for $500. All yo yos unused since new! yep, great find & Sold heaps! and the box, made a good quid!

and i wasnt looking at buying yours, i was just saying

(same as what i played with as a kid)

Signatures suck.

Ha, well done Jo, I certainly wish I'd kept all the coke yoyo's that went through my hands. I bought a bulk lot of yo yo strings after I introduced my son to yoyoing so I would never run out. I can still remember the yo yo fads of my youth and not being able to get hold of strings if they weren't a current fad.

I probably should sell some of those strings because I've enough for a lifetime, or two
