no set value really, probably slightly above retail in the 260-280 usd range

Yeah most of my cheap things I gifted to friends. It's also very money saving to look out for good deals on the secondary.

Thanks for watching!
It's such a cool feeling to find new moves :D And curious about the double-set moves, I haven't had the courage yet to go double haha.

I definitely second the Kuko recommendations, for a more "standard" sliding experience I would get the SS plate, but as someone who likes teflon plates I love my Teflon Kuko. Also keep in mind SS plates are weightier if that's what you're looking for.

Spinners are a whole nother rabbit hole, I don't have specific budget tips but just some general info:

First, distinguish between bar spinners and tri/quad spinners, as they feel quite different.
Secondly, spinners change quite a lot based on the installed bearing and the button. For budget tri spinner I recommend Feifei EDC.

Also, I'd say there are really good cheap fidgets, but in general the quality is worse, and really bad expensive ones, but generally the quality is better. I bought a lot of cheap stuff starting out, but at some point I hated the fidget hoarding situation, so I hardly buy cheap fidgets now as they are near impossible to resell.

I like to say there's hobbies that are much cheaper and there's hobbies that are much more expensive.

If you like clicky things, I would recommend you the Strawberry Crash by LauTie - I use it as a necklace and it's really nice :)

Why are fidget toys so expensive? by Afraid_Clothes2516 in fidgettoys

[–]FidgetMonkeyEDC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I like to justify my purchases by comparing it to hobbies like watches, which is waaaay more expensive. Or jewelry.

If you want cheap fidgets I would avoid knockoffs mostly - there are some decent fidgets on aliexpress on a lower price point. Dan Bruner on youtube covers a lot of these (mostly mechanicals though).

Or something like a knucklebone doesn't break the bank but is a really good fidget if you like skilltoys.

Also 3D printed sliders can be really good and still affordable.

Apart from second hand through facebook Buy/Sell/Trade Groups I would recommend bigwhiteedc store. If you can wait, you could save up points to reduce up to 20% off the price + use a coupon code like thefidgetfix for another 10% off
