Stefan's Benelux Open Sales

[Stefan]

I intend to take some puzzles with me to sell at the Benelux Open, probably Friday and Saturday evening. I have several of each and since I might not take everything with me, I'd like to find out what people are interested in. Please "vote" in the above poll all puzzles you would like to buy. It's not ordering, I only use this to decide what to take with me.

Rubik's 3x3x3 DIY kit from 2004/2005 - 8 Euros
They're mint and sealed, the picture shows the contents. I assembled this one now, the caps need quite some work to make them fit, but after I finished assembling it turns quite nicely before lubing (I intend to lube tonight).

Eastsheen 5x5x5 in German box - 15 Euros
"Zauberwürfel" is German for "magic cube".

Meffert Pyraminx from early 1980s - 12 Euros
Mint in sealed case.

Harry Potter magic - 6 Euros
Same solution as the normal magic, just different pictures. Official Rubik's product, special edition from 2006 or so.

Simpsons magic - 6 Euros
Same solution as the normal magic, just different pictures. Official Rubik's product, special edition from 2006 or so.

Rubik's Studio cube from 2005/2006 - 10 Euros
Mint in box. Also have some mint in a different packaging.

Cuboctahedron from early 1980s - 25 Euros
Mint in box. For solving, it's just like a 3x3x3. But it's a somewhat rare collectable. Hence the price, but still much cheaper than the only ebay sale I could find.

Cube box Wonderful Puzzler - free
Box that came with Wonderful Puzzler cube clones and also the cuboctahedron. Fits most cubes, can be used to protect your cube. Funny noobish text. I have about 20-30 left from cubes I sold or gave away, if nobody wants these I'll throw them away.

I'd really like to have that pyraminx. Mine broke. I'll be there!

Edit: "The completion of the 5th plane will quicken your pulse" LOL! Then it's solved already!

I'd like the Rubiks DIY and maybe the Simpsons Magic, if it works nice

 

[panyan]

[Sebastien]

I might be interested in the rubik's studio.

Would you really speedsolve a pyraminx from the early 1980s...?

Sure, why not?

Sure, why not?

Collectors might disagree about that one. They like their puzzles all nicely boxed away and untouched.

But as a 70's guy I am thinking: "If a liked solving that exact type of Pyraminx in the 80's, why not now anymore?"

Would you carry around an antique baseball card or the declaration of independance in your pocket??? I don't think so

If I have two dozen duplicates, sure, why not? That's how many of these Pyraminxes I originally had. And let's face it, they're not *that* rare or special or expensive.

If I had a special "cube" thing like that, I would take it with me to a competition where other interested cubers could enjoy it rather than leaving it at my place looking pretty. I would keep an eye on it though

For me, that depends on the competition/venue. Consider Benelux Open 2009 (Zonnevende) vs Germany 2008 (Messe Essen toy fair).
