Huh!? Do you know what you are doing?

Check this out!!!

Last year when there is a bootleg yoyo boom in singapore, some people are encouraging us not to buy them.

Below is copied from the forum
Hi Guys,with the current craze of yoyos, there are many new players in the market and many of them are new to yoyos.We've been noticing a trend of bootleg yoyos being sold in the market at incredible prices all around the island.Please be wary of such brands/yoyos etc...We're not saying it's illegal to buy, it's NOT..you can buy anything up to your own discretion.But just wary of what you are buying, if it's bootleg, make sure you KNOW it's bootleg and not someone trying to sell you a bootleg yoyo as the real thing.Don't get cheated into paying big $$ for fake yoyos.Just do a search on wikipedia on such brands and you will find out morehttp://yoyowiki.org/wiki/Auldey_and_AodaThere are more and more bootleg yoyos in the market, some as expensive as over $100 each...at those prices, it's better to just get the original...not only do the originals play better, last longer, the fakes are NOT allowed in any competitions. And most of the time, the bootlegs start playing worse and worse the older they get...So all the players out there, whatever you buy, just be extra careful...DO NOT pay for a bootleg that the seller is trying to sell you as the real thing. We've heard of such incidents, hence the need for this thread.Again, it is NOT wrong to buy a bootleg, just make sure you KNOW it's bootleg when you buy it...But ultimately, why not just buy the original? Less problem in the long run...

Now, this year they are helping auldey to promote their yoyos..

What are you doing?
I think you are just out to make money!

You get kids to perform for you and get a percentage out of them.
hahaha.. Event company huh?

I am really not happy with this issue..
But there is nothing much i can do...

I feel sad for the kids..
