[DavidCalvo]

First of all, sorry if that topic doesn't belong to that category

Many of you may have received the Meffert's newsletter, some others not, so I am attaching it here:



Hi All,

Today I like you to help guide me to make a decision as to which puzzle I should release first a
7x7x7 cube or a 6x6x6 cube, it must be 1 after the other also if the price is around $60 would you
order them and how many. Please click REPLY and in the subject line put either 7x7 or 6x6 plus
the number. Please keep this survey as short as possible no other text or questions.

Some of you still did not receive my earlier mailings so please go to News on our HP for the
latest updates and new puzzle releases, or direct to: http://mefferts.com/puzzle_news.php. I am
updating our puzzle site and like to include some nice competition videos about some of my puzzles
if have such an item please send it to me, also any unique online puzzles for our online Games &
Puzzle section


Happy Puzzling
Uwe


Let's contribute all!

Cheers,

David

I would love to purchase these cubes but at $60 I don't know if I will, although I don't know if I will be able to pass up the opportunity. So many cubers will want them he needs to get a lot.
I don't get this email, where should i email to telling him my reply?

6*6 and 7*7 cubes sound interesting, but at $60? I wouldn't spend that much on any puzzle. They must lower the price first.

Hey David thank you for posting this, I like the odd cubes and it seems the 7x7 is easier to make, so I think it is much better to produce the 7x7 first.

 

[Jason]

I reckon 7x7x7 first would e cool, but $60 is a bit steep. I reckon $50 morelike

 

[Radu]

same as the others said. we all would definately love this cubes but 60$ is way too much. if a
3x cube approx. 15$
4x - 20$
5x - 25$

(this are the prices on cube4you)...let's say i would spend 35$..maybe 40$ on a bigger cube..but not 60

 

[TheBB]

Well, if the dollar keeps dropping...

 

[AvGalen]

if?

I would like 6x6x6 first (natural progression) and would buy 3.

 

[Unscarred1925]

6x6x6 @ $40 -2 pcs
7x7x7 @ $50 -2pcs

 

[AlexandertheGreat]

i think 40 is much more reasonable, the only cube I would pay 60 or more for would probably be either a cube signed by Erno Rubik or a cube so good it's "descended from the heavens"

 

[AvGalen]

Wow, 60 Euro! Just because he signed it?

I think he signed about 100 (or more) at Worlds. That means he added (60-10)*100 = 5000 of value in 1 hour!

 

[Erik]

don't you think my competition 4x4 he signed would be worth more than just 60?

 

[AvGalen]

Not to me. I guess that proves that I am not a real collector (yet)

 

[Johannes91]

Some puzzles go regularly for over $500 on ebay.

 

[AvGalen]

Another reason NOT to become a collector. I have become a "discollector" now. Anyone can buy any of my puzzles for $500 each.
