anybody with an F II of any color?

[CFOP2020]

I made a similar thread a while ago but didn't get any straight answers. The title explains it all, if anybody has an F II they are willing to let to of please dm me. (also, while you're here if you have a c4u 3x3 in any color instead that would be awesome)

I don't think it was better than the Alpha cubes? not sure.

The F II and the Alpha 5 a lot of people say were on par with eachother. But a ton of people switched to the F II when it released

Yeah, my main back then was a Type C III with C4U Hardware

Well Type F III is still available on HKNowStore. Search cube stores and ebay for ShengEn too.
You can also find C4U tile cube on iCubeMart still.

You can still find WitEden (Type C) cubes on a lot of stores I think

Hmm, im is the c4u tile cube the same mech as the og, just tiles?

The store says it resembles Dayan II. Idk what the original C4U cube mech was, I don't think it was like a Guhong. I just ordered the C4U tile cube so I'll check when it arrives.

 

[CFOP2020]

I see, hmm, might check out the F III on hknowstore. Seems like a mix between an f II and an og rubiks, might be worth checking out.

If you really want old cubes and can't find them in stock, my suggestion is to watch ebay. I have been able to buy some out of stock everywhere cubes by checking ebay every so often.

Do you think they'll have cubes that old? Have you found anything like that before?

Yes I have (some old Alpha cubes) but they only show up from time to time. Also there was an auction like a month ago for a whole collection, including a big DianSheng cube which was interesting but not enough for me to actually buy it.

I've also tried to search Taobao and AliExpress but I haven't found anything worthwhile there yet.

 

[ender9994]

I agree with qwr. I often see old 3x3's pop up for sale in cube lots on eBay or Facebook marketplace. That is probably your best best

In fact the cube man himself Erik Akkersdijk was giving away some old cubes, unfortunately shipped from Europe so shipping was gonna be a lot.

Ok I opened up the C4U tile cube and it looks very much like the original DIY kit, seen on the wiki https://www.speedsolving.com/wiki/index.php/Cube4You
Basically slightly modified Rubik's mech. Looks nothing like the guhong mech so idk whoever wrote the store's description was way off.

Also I got the textured tile cube and it's not what I was expecting. The texture is soft like the plastic on phones or phone cases.

 

[Ravagerous]

Must be worth the shipment fee if you get an antique cube.

 

[CFOP2020]

Well Type F III is still available on HKNowStore.

Hmm, i saw that there is a cube on hknowstore called a Type A II "Seal" It looks kinda like a Alpha II with Alpha III corners. Is this a legitimate cube? I don't see anything else about it other than that product.

Yes it's part of Alpha's "seal"/"feng" series. https://www.speedsolving.com/thread...tion-of-the-naming-of-the-alpha-series.30322/ This is a good explanation.

Btw I am thinking about selling a white Type A I and Type A II that are new (never been used). Let me know if you're interested.

The Alpha C cubes were popular before the Zhanchi right?
