Buying Primary GAN SM

[Galcor117]

Does anyone have a primary GAN SM in relatively new - brand new condition? Price is negotiable, but I'm expecting a decent discount compared to the normal $50.

I have a 3000-solve broken-in black one that you can buy for $70.

Lol casi IK.
BTW cubes with break in aren't sold at a higher price; they're usually sold at a lower one
And no
It has to be primary

Why does it have to be primary?

Experiment and curiousity. I want to see the comparison between primary gan plastic and black gan plastic

Wasn't it proven that all plastics regardless of color (maybe except stickerless) felt and were the same?

No.
There's a reason why the Valk Power uses primary plastic

it has a higher melting point so the it can adsorb more boron

?
I doubt qiyi or really any company uses boron
Also many videos say that the primary is for
1) Even smoothness in black or stickerless puzzles
2) Primary is natural and smooth

Can't you buy one from a retailer?

I have one with about 2k solves. However, I have also done some modifications:

1. I glued the magnets to the slots.
2. I cut the pillars inside the pieces to reduce weights.
3. I removed the iron screws and glued the pieces together to further reduce weights.
4. I changed the stock stickers to full-fit full bright (except red side is regular red, not fluorescent red) from speedcubeshop

If you are interested in this slighted modded cube I can sell you for $55 including shipping (only to the US). The extra cost is due to the amount of effort I put in and the premium quality stickers. This cube is about 10 grams lighter than the original version.

Btw primary is the original plastic color. The other ones all have pigments added so it will change the texture of the plastic. I don't know if anyone has tried to quantify the difference, but it'll be interesting to see.
