It boggles my mind that your time is worth so little this is a viable option as compared to spending $7.99

I have two. I love them. I just play with them when I am in meetings and just fricking around.

My daughter has two of em. It's a fad, like we had in school.

I remember "Stompers" the little 4x4s that took a single AAA battery....

Cheap on Amazon.

My daughter has like 6 of them. You just fidget with them while doing mindless stuff like watching TV.

Not nearly as cool as foreverspin tops. Though a tad cheaper.

A) How freaking old are you?
B) Isn't jacks a game or at least a test of hand-eye coordination? This appears to be nothing more than a spinning toy.

My brother has used something like this for 2 decades. Half the time he doesn't realize he's spinning it.

I just came across these as well looking online at e-commerce type sites. They have people that you can buy in bulk from china...what I saw was like 100 for 1-2 bucks ea 2000 for .80 ea plus shipping but shipping was reasonable. One of those impulse new fad insane markup kinda item. Wish I had 2000 for 80 cents to sell

EDIT this was his breakdown...and some were saying even these prices were a little high...dont know...also dont know if its the same as ones selling for 5-10-20 bucks...but what a markup!

Tri-Spinner Dropshipping & Wholesale in USA

Quality factory made-spinners from China (not a 3D printer knock off)

Available colors: white, black, red, yellow, blue, green, orange, pink, mixed color

Dropshipping - $7.99 each

You can submit your order to me by sending $7.99 along with your customer's mailing address and I will send a spinner to your customer.
Price includes: 1 spinner + shipping fee.
You don't have to touch the inventory as I take take of the logistics.


Wholesale - from $0.70 each + shipping fee (based on weight and size of the package)

Price per unit depends on the order quantity
Shipping fee is calculated based on your location and order quantity (size and weight)
Generally, price per unit is between $0.70 and $1.25
Contact me for a detailed quote


Why me?

My spinners are located in the United State and can be shipped quickly.
Most Ali Express / Ebay / Amazon spinners are shipped from China which results in 3-4 week delivery time for each order.
I ship within 48 hours after receiving an order and I use the 1-3 business day shipping option.
Although the cost is just slightly higher, 3-4 time shipping time improvement over the Chinese suppliers option is very appealing to the U.S. customers.
You don't have to handle the inventory and make a payment unless you receive an order first, so dropshipping is a low-risk strategy for you as a retailer.
I won't include any promotional materials, invoices, or receipts in the package.



1 - 10 pcs ---> $1.25
11 - 100 pcs ---> $1.15
101 - 200 pcs ---> $1.10
201 - 500 pcs ---> $0.95
501 - 1000 pcs ---> $0.90
1001 - 2000 ---> $0.85
2000+ pcs ---> $0.80

My daughter exposed them to me a couple of weeks ago.

They are actually pretty cool.

I am the fidgety and restless type and pick one up every now and then.

My thoughts on them were it was nice to see that kids these days can get a fad going with something that isn't tech based like back in the day with Rubik's Cubes and things like that.
