Any of you create wanted lists for buying puzzles?

Lately I've been looking at what puzzles are available on websites, and I'll research which puzzles appeal to me, from that I'll create a wanted list.

However what started out to be fun, has become a bit of an obsession and feels too much like hard work now, so I think I'm going to quit with this method, lol.

Any of you guys do the same? Or do you go about things differently?

I find there's either of 2 methods.. a wanted list or an empty bank account :oops:

I do exactly the same thing - I'll create a list of puzzles that I want, and also how much I need to save up for them. It is most definitely an obsession :D

Well my wanted list just got shorter with the mf8 gigaminx and the Tomz 4x4x6 on the way, but the cheaper puzzles yes I have a wanted list, including stores where they are sold the cheapest.

And then it's a sport to get them for even less on Ebay *giggle*

I do the same, once I put a puzzle into my wanted list, I will then search for it on all of the puzzle selling websites that I know of to find the cheapest price.

It's the only way that I, as a relatively poor cuber, can still obtain some gems

I keep a spreadsheet of puzzles I want and their prices at different online shops. Really helps with planning my purchases carefully. The downside? It also tells me how much I've already spent on puzzles [= way too much!].

Yes I have a wish list, with stars :
1 star : I want the puzzle
2 stars : I really want the puzzle
3 stars : I really really want the puzzle
4 stars : I must have this puzzle
With this system, I buy less, I only buy the 3 & 4 stars, the 1 & 2 stars I buy when they are cheap.
Just bought a 4 star, the Blue Revomaze V1, now I have to stop buying for some weeks until my budget has recovered, and I guess I will need some time to solve the puzzle. :roll:

My wanted list is simple: I want the puzzles which I have not got :lol:

But I do track all new mass produced puzzles and keep the list handy just in case ...

I don't have a real wanted list but there're puzzles I always want, store in my brain. Sometimes I forget them, sometimes I'll be re-activated by some bloggers' blog or when I saw some photos of those puzzle~

Usually for me, buying puzzles, especially expensive one, is an action without going through my mind :oops:
