Some questions I have is what would be a good first yo-yo to get?
How much is usual to pay for the string and other accessories?
Why do you yo-yo?
Thanks in advance.
Go to Dave and Busters. Get enough tickets to win the Yo-Yo (~400 tickets), string included. Depending on how good you are at arcade games this should cost between $20-$40. Other accessories...you might want to get a wrist and/or elbow brace for your dominant yo-yo'ing arm, as you will find this sport is taxing on the joints (Glucosamine helps, as well). Finally, I yo-yo because when I'm rocking the cradle, man, that's the only time I feel free.
