For a laugh I thought I'd see how much siteprice.org valued my web site at. I got quite a surprise! https://youtu.be/-oY64XIZ9ak

Out of an abundance of hope and a sprinkling of curiosity I used siteprice.org to get an approximate value for my web site skilltoyz.com. I was in for a surp...

In the 17 years I have been selling yo-yos, I have acquired a large collection of yoyo related images. These include yoyo manufacturer logos, web site banners and other artwork. Here I present a collection of yoyo images as a homage to all those people, organisations and companies I have had the pleasure of working with since 2005. How many do you recognise?

Full credit and my thanks is given to the original creators and owners of these images.

Some customers are asking why I have suspended international shipping. For the answer please see our shop blog.

Apologies to my international customers, we cannot currently ship to customers outside the UK.

Hi everyone, I hope you are all safe and well. I am pleased to announce that Skilltoyz.com will be reopening on the evening of Friday 28th August, with orders shipping from Tuesday 1st September.

Due to the on-going Covid pandemic, international shipping is slow, unreliable and expensive. Unfortunately this means that we will not be accepting any overseas orders while this situation continues.
Many thanks,
Pete

Given the most recent UK Government advice on the Coronavirus COVID-19, I have had to close my shops until further notice. I am in the group that will be asked to self isolate for 12 weeks or longer, so cannot keep working.

To everyone - stay safe, stay well, wash your hands. And good luck. Pete

Given today's announcements by the UK Government I have decided to close my stores until further notice. Continuing to work is not, frankly, worth the risk of exposure to the new virus, given my vulnerable status. Plus it looks likely that I will be advised to self-isolate in due course, which would...
