if my budget is $500 USD, what puzzles should I buy? (WCA, lubes, misc only)(gerernal)

Oof. It’s really nice. I’d get the spring version. I get both 54mm and there is pretty much no difference.

how good would the 54 be compared to the ZhiLong mini for OH?

Honestly a lot of cubes are better than the zhilong. Yes it’s the best 50mm cube, but 54-56mm cubes are much better for both 2H and OH.

Whats the difference if the picubeshop clock and the normal qiyi clock?

They put stronger maglev in the pins so they go up and down faster, they adjust the magnets in the actual clocks themselves. Also they add some sort of lube that makes it turn well.

BUY. A. QIYI. CLOCK.
Best $30 I’ve ever spent.

Picube clock is good but definitely not worth $120 imo

Older cubes are great too
I like my RS3M 2021 very much. It has served me well

To me, the GuHong pro just feels like an upgraded version of the ZhiLong 50 mm cube. It has a similar feeling

I don't really like the RS3M(both 2020 and 2021)

Well, the deals sorta in the works, but we shook on it...
A friend of mine wanted to learn how to solve the cube, yay
He likes the cube I let him borrow, and he asked how much I wanted for it, and I said I don't have a monetary value on it yet
then he asked if I wanted a tenor saxophone that he doesn't want anynore
and we shook on it

Looking to buy a mid-90's project car

I’m sorry, but you can never say a guy that just threw 3 whole thousand dollars+ at a non family member even is not rich.

I do not believe he spent that much on it, and I also doubt that he paid for it

Using the whole budget, put together the best cart you can with $500 using these requirements:
Must be WCA puzzles (or Nxns)
Must include at least one lube, the stackmat G4 timer, and a mini-mat
I do not need any 4x4's, looking to upgrade 5-7, need a better 3x3 and 2x2
Do not own a squan, skewb, or clock
Looking to upgrade mega and pyra
I do not like the Tornado V3 or the GAN 12

you probably shouldn't spend that much money on twisty puzzles. if it where me, I would be $100 worth of stuff or so.

xD I've spent about $550 on cubes this year...
Slightly wish I didn't buy some of them though, I'm (trying) to save up for a camera.
