Fidget spinner

late to the game but bought one of these at the 7-11 checkout line. Kinda fun spinning while on the Corral. May be necessary this football season.

I got one and used my air compressor to get it going screaming fast. Scared my wife, she heard it from across the house while I was in the garage.

Don't do that with cheap ones, they will fly apart.

Some of these things in the exotic metals sell for hundreds of dollars.

I get bulletins from a place than handles close-outs and wholesale lots and about 4-5 months ago, I was offered these at a little less than $1 per piece (including shipping) in gross lots. I had no idea what the hell they were and didn't give it another thought.

Then, I see a story on the local news here in OKC about how they were so in demand that there were runs on stores who would announce they had them for sale and all inventory was depleted within an hour. BTW, they were selling for $5 - $7+ at that time.

This last weekend, I went to the Old Paris Flea Market in OKC looking for bargains and it seemed every vendor there was selling them for about $3.
