I just ordered a bunch of various spinners, cause my kids into them, I got them 
from china, I am not afraid of lead

but these things retail between 5 and 10 bucks... or more each. I can find them 
for more than 150 for 100 in any of the models

good markup for any retail shop or ebay store when you only need to dump 10-20 
percent of your inventory to ensure profit on a product

as long as youre insured for lead poisoning.

 

Looking at my desk, which is cluttered, I assume there are three guys on this 
list whos desks aren't cluttered, the bulk of stuff in my desk, aside from the

so many notes on them are project components, a nut with a bolts, a mechanical

rj45 ends with the clips shoved inside each other, a paperclip holder with a 
bunch of ferrous shit in it, a couple rare earths, broken ink pens whose 
clickers still work, in other words a bunch of junk I fidget with. 4 bearings 
in a housing with a set of bearing covers is genius, even if they don't even 
have the complexity of two legos

Re: [AFMUG] OT spinner toy

[Bill Prince]

I concur on the tires. Way, way better.

However. In the other direction is the quality of land line phone 
service. I don't know about elsewhere, but in our rural setting, the 
landline phone service has completely fallen off the cliff. It's worse 
because whatever phone company does not want to spend a dime on 
repairing the old phone lines. Even worse than that, many of the places 
it's impossible to get any kind of internet service (including ours). 
People buried in acres of 200-300+ foot tall trees and it's nearly 
impossible to get POTS, or internet, or even satellite-type service.

It's amazing how much better car tires are

Not just the grip/traction, but the reliability.   I remember how it was
not uncommon to have tire problems while growing up...it seemed like you
were changing a tire somewhere along the road way too often. Yet somehow
today it seems like I never have to change a tire.

I purchased two 3D printers about three months ago and started making various 
spinners and selling them at my wife's toy store. We have sold over 1,000 of 
them and more than paid for the printers and made a profit. :)

Definitely. I remember playing with one of my dad's old gyroscope toys at my 
grandma's.  Wish I knew what happened to that.

fidget spinner thingy.
