Wow, $30 dollars for a single cube? That's crazy!

What's crazy about that? My best speedcube was 36 dollars.

I bet the cube is gonna go for a lot more than 30 dollars. It has a logo which he won at Danish Open 2008. That was a good comp

Eh?

Don't the JSK cubes cost something like $30?

I don't think $30 is a lot at all for this cube. If nobody else bought it for $30, I most certainly would.

He's putting the logo on a corner? What if the competitor wants to use it themselves in a competition?

 

[Gparker]

in a comment he says hes going to sign it and put the date of the world record on there... id buy it but im to young..

 

[jcuber]

Current highest bid is $102 (USD). WOW!

 

[EmersonHerrmann]

The bid went up from 36 USD after he signed it.

 

[jcuber]

I predict it goes to at least $200 before the end of next week.

If it went up like up $70 in <day $70X7(days)+(original)$30=$520

If it went up like up $70 in <day $70X7(days)+(original)$30=$520

Because that's exactly how bidding works.

....no I was trying to make an estimate.

"the competititor" could replace the sticker if he/she really wanted to use the cube in an official competition. I don't think the winner of this bid will use this cube for speedcubing though. I could definitly be wrong, but I still don't think it's likely.

On another note, I predict the cube will sell for well over $200, if it goes over $300 I will be amazed, but that would still be cool.

I wonder if Frank will sell his old Rubik's 5x5x5's and 4x4x4's, or Nakajima his old 3x3x3's now... This seems to be a profitable endeavor.

While we are on the subject of selling awesome cuber's cubes, who has that adjustable v-5?

 

[Bob]

maybe i will sell my old magics.

 

[elimescube]

maybe i will sell my old magics.

Oh Bob, how could I forget your Magic's!?!

And he was trying to point out that your estimate is faulty because you assume things that are extremely unlikely.

 

[James Kobel]

maybe i will sell my old magics.

I'll make the first bid at USD$9001.

Erik - brilliant idea to sell the cube (especially since you aren't using it regularly anymore). The title of the auction is a bit lacking, but if you market it right, I bet this thing could fetch quite a bit. I wouldn't doubt to see it over $1,000 USD if a couple news stations get ahold of it.

Good luck.

 

[somerandomkidmike]

Oh my... The current bid $2500 US.
