hand spinners

I got an email from bladehq.com the other day, and as I was browsing the sale's ad, I stumbled across this ad and was like, "wtf is a hand spinner?"

So I started to do a bit of research on it... holy crap!!!

I joined a group on facebook and witnessed a guy out of Russia make close to $1000 in 5 minutes selling 8 of these things!!!

So, I bought the 1 off of bladehq, cost me $29 plus shipping...
then I bought this one, it's made of brass..


Anyone else ever heard of these?
I've talked to a couple machinists and told them about these things. Some cost over $200, that's right! for a piece of metal with a friggin bearing!

I have a couple of cheapy fidget spinners. I keep them in my laptop bag and office. Whether it's pure placebo or not, there's definitely something to say for them.

I had a gyroscope growing up, looks similar in function. I spent lots of time doing nothing with it, but had fun while I was doing it.

Since texting while driving has been outlawed, I could use one of those,
