This looks like a product where some investor will end up with a few dozen railway cars full of unsaleable fidget spinners when the excitement dies down.

Some VCs I know had a similar problem with garden gnomes a few years back. They used a few for office decorations and probably buried the rest.

Yeah right now demand is outstripping supply, but I don't see that lasting very long.

But unlike other fads the bearings have some minimal value, and fidget spinners are easy to breakdown into a pile of plastic and a pile of bearings.

This is what I am waiting for - an abundant, inexpensive supply of bearings for projects.

They're £3 (GBP) on eBay for a set of 4 scooter bearings. Which suggests they're pennies on AliBaba, perhaps cheaper without a (fake?) ABEC rating.

I don't want to wait 4 weeks to receive them, though.
