It's on g-units. NZers and Aussies vs. the yanks. Who will win?

Sorry for the bump, but I just remembered they were selling mini-c's at the last Berkley comp, I was curious if anyone knew what they'd be selling this time around, so that I don't buy anything online that I could just get there.

selling mini-c's

I plan to go and this will be my first competition. I will bring along two hexagonal dominos to sell for $100 each. I will also be bringing all my other custom puzzles for everyone to try out. I have a Face Turning Rhombic Dodecahedron, Dino Dodecahedron, Jr. Barrel, Trajber's Octahedron, Mini Rhombiminx, and Rhombic Triacontahedron. I will probably only sign up for one event because I am not very good at speed solving.

Depends on the terms of winning.

I emailed them and they are in fact selling the mini c's. They have about 50.

 

[miniGOINGS]

mini c's...about 50.

...x2...

Wish I could go. I'll be in California anyway like the weekend before this.

Awww. Tell us next time you're in CA.

Haha. Bring it on! Sum of top three 3x3 averages to determine winner?

 

[Dene]

You got a deal! I'm working hard to beat you all

Hello everyone! I hope you all can come to Berkeley Winter! Just a reminder that the room to go to is 145 Dwinelle. Hope to see all your lovely faces there!

Memo: It will be skirt day that day, so remember to wear your skirts! You must wear a skirt to be eligible for the Skirt Day Award. Thank you!

chowmein in a skirt is good.

An event that I can finally place in =D lol not

ok so I couldn't decide whether to post this here or in the buy/sell thread, but I was looking to perhaps buy some pre-loved cubes at this comp. Mine are horrible and my access to a credit card is limited.

I am looking for a few specifics, but mostly just looking for working versions of my horrible twistypuzzles.

I would be willing to buy all cubes for higher than they are sold online, since I am getting them in person. I am looking for

pyraminx (mine is from 82')
square 1 (mine are from thinkgeek)
any spring/screw 2x2
3x3 (type a2, a3, c1, c2, f1, f2, any of these will be better than my storebought, and my mini c fell apart)
4x4 (mefferts, qj, mini qj... anything better than ES)

also, If anyone is willing to part with a v-cube 7, I would like to discuss price as well.

I hope this isn't terribly unusual to try to purchase cubes at a comp.... if this is a fail post feel free to delete. And I can't wait to see all of you folks in Berkley!

EDIT: I'm really only looking to buy one of each puzzle, aside 3x3 which I may buy more of

 

[kevbobcuber]

Alright I asked my parents and I will be attending this competition heres a video since most people don't know me. I build customs!

Actually if you wear a skirt there's a good chance you will.

Damn United cancelled my flight last minute and the next flight they would give me would be at 11am on Saturday? They said something about the weather. So it doesn't look like I'll be making it to Berkeley this time. Congrats to Lucas or whoever else wins. I'm so pissed at United right now.

 

[Dene]

Good luck guys! You all know I wish I could be there.

Hmm, 9, 15, 16 was it? That's 40. Shouldn't be too hard for yanks. <_<

 

[jfly]

9?! Damn world records. Amazing average, Feliks!

Square-1 and OH first round results need to be redone. General note to all, there is never a reason to overwrite/delete existing results from the spreadsheet without checking the relevant scorecards first >_<. Gah, this is what happens when I leave the computer unattended.
