Received and started playing with mine. Here's what I have to say:
+ the design is beautiful * initially they're loud, but I happen to have some YoYo lube and a drop of that resolved this problem albeit not 100% - the three-screws assembly is hellishly hard to calibrate, after an hour of tweaking I couldn't eliminate vibration completely * they are a bit small but after some getting used to it's okay, although don't expect them to spin too long - not enough weight for inertia - plus that 3-screw balancing problem (not very long spinning time is not a problem for me though) - the caps are too polished, slippery (now that's a bit of a problem) - caps don't hold the bearing snugly there's a bit of play, adding to noise and balancing problem.
Overall I do like the spinner because of the design, and would've bought it for 10-15 bucks, but as it's priced I wouldn't suggest to buy it. My $10 Chinese one from Amazon works much better, ships faster, is also beautiful, fully balanced out of the box, less noisy, spins 6.5 - 7 minutes. For $50 (and I've actually bought two of them) I expected much better quality.
This drop pretty much disqualifies RAMA WORKS from future consideration for me.
EDIT: received the replacement bearings, they're quieter than originals out of the box but performance is much worse, I'm sticking with the originals, after I lubed them they're quiet.
