    Maybe just get the three best cubes ever from the cubicle instead?
    I learned BLD once, but I only really use it as a party trick.

    I think that normal zhanchi's are horrible, but if Camcuber's says this one is better it is over priced.
    I think Camcuber's zhanchi is going to do very bad in his store.

    exactly. Those cubes are awesome, and not overpriced.

    I think a few people who are lazy and are desperate to improve their times might think this as a good investment, and who knows, maybe the placebo after paying so much money will improve their times.
    (a^b)^c = a^(b c) e^(2 i pi c floor(1/2-(Im(b log(a)))/(2 pi)))
    I've been cubing for only just over 2 years and I feel old already

    Just wanted to give you guys here an explanation. I hope that I did not offend any of you but the reason for the extremely high price of $60 is probably close to the same reason that the Lubix Elite is $100. Time. I don't have time everyday to fully lubricate even 3 of these cubes, do orders, do chores, and continue on with my day so I put this cube out on the market not expecting to sell a whole lot of them, just for the people who really wanted them. I will be giving one out for free today for Free Cube Friday, one for the Logo Contest, and I have also lowered the price to $29.99 which I hope is more reasonable. I lowered the price because, yes, it is very time consuming but I didn't realize that people would be so interested in buying it. I know that a lot of people at competitions always offer to buy my cube but I didn't think that it would do that well online. If you know me, you know that I am all about trying to help out the community as long as I can. Hopefully this price is more reasonable for those of you who want this cube for yourself. I do realize that all that I am doing is lubricating, tensioning, and sticking but I also make sure that all pieces are held together sturdily and spend about 15 - 20 minutes tensioning alone to make sure that the tensions are exact as I can get them. Stickering takes me about 30 minutes because I try to get them as straight as possible and cannot use application tape. Then there is the lubricating. The lube that I use is currently not on the market but is a type of silicone. I believe that I have found a way to apply this lube so that when it starts to fade, it will fade with the cube breaking in, then leave the excess lube for the cube's actual use if you understand what I am saying. I still think that this price is a little high but honestly, I cannot make it lower because if I made it around the $20 mark, that would probably create more orders for this cube there fore resulting in a huge time loss for myself which I cannot afford at this time. I hope that this clears some things up for you guys, let me know if you have any other inquiries about this cube or my store and I would be happy to answer you.

    If I was desperate for business wouldn't the price be lower? I have lowered it now and it was at such a high price because I was originally kind of hoping that I wouldn't have to make that many because it is time consuming, especially for someone who is trying to run a store and have time for other things.

    Yeah, i've never timed it but taking off the stickers, taking the goo off, and applying the new stickers takes me about that long.

    I can vouch for this it takes me a long time as well, the application tape never works out for me, but the main problem is that when people see the difference between a diy kit and an assembled cube is at most 1$, you cant justify putting stickers on as your time. People dont care if they were put on by a machine or hand placed by god in the end they just want a cheap price.
