Anyone know anything about this Chrome Cube for $660?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6031188428

It looks like one of the limited edition Silver Cubes, however, it has no logo or number on the White Center Tile.

How to turn crap into money:

(9 cheap clone 3x3s for $907)

What is that logo on the white center of the upper right cube?

I was about to post the same auction Stefan. I think I might try that one!

Christoph Magic Jewel $200

Don't see these very often. Not too bad a price for an original Dr. Christoph puzzle.

I know someone who may sell one for $325 if someone wants one.
PM if you want details

I'm rather surprised to even see one on eBay. I can't imagine Dr. Christoph Bandelow commissioning a ton of them to be made...

Here is a different 2x2x2 sticker variation

Finally a Smart Alex MIB for $154.49 Never seen one not signed that went that high


http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=6033631981

I know the 1st 3rd 5th and the 7th sellers are all one of us. Those are my $.02

I was the seller for this one. The buyer was a new account with bogus information, so it's not going to sell. I'll probably just hold on to my Saturn and try again later.

Congratulations to Frank:

how about this, an edible puzzle?

http://cgi.ebay.com/2236-Collectible-Mc ... dZViewItem

sold for $13.50

What is this?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... %3AIT&rd=1

I remember a McD's promo many years ago in the UK with little burgers like that which were actually Transformer rip-offs. If I can find them in the attic I'll post a pic (in Off Topics).
Anyway, I think that's what that is, not actually a puzzle (that seller sure has a lot of stuff to sell, he's been on the go for years!).

This rare Russian puzzle comes in 3 versions.

1. A flower shaped version
http://twistypuzzles.com/cgi-bin/puzzle.cgi?pid=1131
is called "Festivalnij Zwetok", or Festival Flower.

2. I have a similar one but with much smaller petals.

3. The one in the auction, which just has a single 'petal'.

Mechanically the puzzles are exactly the same. Essentially it is a sliding piece puzzle with 2 spaces, so it is quite easy to solve.

Never seen one of these on ebay. How does it work? Doesn't look like an enigma puzzle

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6036823298

Gosh, how can you give someone more than $100 for a "Conbinescion" puzzle? Not even Google knows that word.

That guy really has too much money. Sealed signed 4x4 for $150:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 6038040000

I have seen several of those 4x4x4 master cubes for sale that are signed. They went for a whole lot less than that

How about an aluminum cube for $600

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... %3AIT&rd=1

YES!!!!

I don't understand why 7 colour Rainbow Cubes http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... %3AIT&rd=1 are selling so high when they are available from Hendrik Haak for 25 Euros at http://www.puzzle-shop.de/start-shop.html. I know the last one had the special treatment from Stefan but I am still surprised at the winning bid.

Well... last week a tiled Megaminx (like the one you get from Meffert for $28 and free shipping) sold for 70 Euros plus shipping. Or remember the yellow-cardboard 3x3 that recently sold for like $260 despite being available for less than $20 in auctions or even as buy-it-now all the time. Ebay is a funny game, sometimes you get less than you'd expect, sometimes more.

Congratulations!

Funny, I was bidding on that too, because I thought it'd be neat to play with. But I didn't know it was that collectible!

But, I did win a domino (a bit pricey, but, they don't seem to show up too often, and, I was getting impatient),
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 6037740604

And, a Babylon Tower (any idea on value?)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 6037739467

Since they're from Hungary, paying with IBAN SWIFT/BIC for them from here in the US seems a bit problematic....
Could someone in Europe help me out? I can pay with PayPal,

thats funny that you think taht dominos are rare. i seem to see them all the time on ebay, at least once a month. where as this is only the 3rd or 4th blindmans cube i have seem in 2+ years. pleaase let me know when you recieve your domino i want to see how the delivery is, i paid her yesterday

speaking of dominos.... this offer has been on ebay for nearly a year now. Im not surprised it hasn't been bought yet

And yeah, I also have my own (big time) bidding blunders, but I rather not talk about them LOL


Note that I never sell (so don't expect to see my puzzles for sale), however I do get some nice duplicates which may be used for exchange!


Peter

Is it much heavier than I think or did the seller rip you off? Look at airmail letter, I'd expect $5 postage or less:
http://pe.usps.gov/text/Imm/immicl/immiclab_012.html

Well yeah... its weight is just a few grams LOL

And I also think postage was a bit too much.
It seems that almost everyone tries to convince me that postage to Australia *has* to be very expensive, because of the distance...

This one sure looks like the Magic Cube version you can get at Cracker Barrel or here (http://www.edsthinkshop.com/10038.html) for $4.50, $4.25 after the Twisty discount.

Sometimes, you have to wonder about ebay. It reminds me of the first BrainTwist that sold for well over $100. Shortly after that, Walmart was dumping them for $5.00.

Ed, how much are the shipping costs to spain?

My birthday was yesterday and I have some money to spent in rubik's heheheheheheh

Haven't seen a puck puzzle in this package before.

again with the sexualrubiks dude

I hope he's not enjoying the puzzles too much, if you know what I mean.

yeah whois this sexualrubiks dude? he keeps outbidding on everything i bid on and a shoot load of everything else. arg.

okay, the WEIRDEST thing happened a day after i posted the link with sexualrubiks

apparently, some dude who claims that he's sexualrubiks emailed me asking about my collection and saying that the big lot of cubes that he won were all dirty and messed up.





pretty cool, i hope he joins this forum and show us his collection

http://cgi.ebay.com/Handmade-5-Layer-Sq ... dZViewItem

amazing
i actually had a hard time believing that it really exists^^

you cant post auctions that are currently going! read the rules.

plus Jin Kim has made one of those his posting is somewhere on here, i have plaed with it. its a very finnicky puzzle. dont get me wrong i love Jins puzzles but the 5 layer can fall apart easily if i remember correctly.

Not even allowed when its not negative
ok soory about that
what do i do now
edit the post and let it disappear?

It's not so weird if you know that he won some of my auctions and thus I'm in contact with him and showed him this thread after several people asked about him

I must be missing something here, this item looks like a Meffert's Ultimate Skewb:

http://cgi.ebay.com/RARE-RUBIK-CUBE-PUZZLE-12-SIDES_W0QQitemZ6042029549QQcategoryZ19187QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

.. but it sold for $147 USD!

Granted Meffert's is out of stock right now, but that seems crazy for a puzzle that normally sells for $18 (w/free shipping from Meffert's).

Looking at the Puzzle Database... this specimen has a slightly different sticker color scheme than Meffert's Ultimate Skewb, but does not match Tony's originals either- the only reason I could think that it would possibly be worth $150 USD.
