Will you pay 60 dollars for the CamCuber Zhanchi?

[Noahaha]

I have been really happy with my OH zhan chi and zhan chi silk from cubicle for just over 20 each. Those were lubed, tensioned, and modded ....for less than half the original asking price

Ima let you finish, but the cool Guhong is the best cube of all time.

What I don't understand is why the people who are in favor of Camcuber's cube have not bought it yet since it seems that they have such a high interest and justification for it being a reasonable cube?

To those of you comparing it to a brand new ZhanChi, quickly lubed and tensioned, I've done just that. I got a DIY ZhanChi, quickly assembled the cube, lubing the core and tensioning as I assembled it. I also did the mod where you sand the little bumps off the bottom of the corners. After assembled, I just did a standard lube technique. Sprayed some CRC in there, and put stickers on.

Results: Very smooth, fast, quiet ZhanChi. Great tension and sticker placement, and better than my current ZhanChi.
Time taken for everything (taking it out of the bag to breaking in the CRC): 15:02

I personally see no reason why it should take him over an hour, when I just make my new main in 15 minutes

For me I'm waiting to place an order of a few cubes and because I live in Australia I prefer to make just one big order so I'm just waiting on a little bit more cash

I am a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to things like this but I am getting faster the more cubes I build.

So a new guy with 1 post made a review. Thats not enough to make my opinion change. More reviews now please?

cubing is still competitive and so is owning a shop/business to do with cubing.

Doesn't mean you over price a cube. Anyone here wanna check the average price of a normal DIY zhanchi and lube?

DIY from theCubicle - $12.50
5cc lube from theCubicle - $3.00 - by the way, 5cc lubes like 30-40 cubes easily
Stickers - comes with the DIY, but $2.25 from Cubesmith (HB)

Total: $15.50-17.75
Higher end is half the asking price for this cube (assuming that you also get tons of lube)

You have a CamCuber ZhanChi?

[rickcube]

I don't know if I'm misunderstanding this whole thing, but no one is obligated to buy cubes from him. He can set the price at whatever we wants. If you can get a great cube for less, then great. Do it. But why does it matter what price he sells cubes for? If you don't want it, don't buy it. But, obviously there are people who are willing to pay his price, so what's the big deal here?
