PopBuying quality and other questions.

[dillonbladez]

how is popbuying quality? is it good, is it to be expected? i want to know because a car ran over my cube, and it exploded ouch. so i'll just use the cube for spare legs, or arms, or whatever goes wrong with my next cube. i'm also wondering how long the shipping takes to canada. i have to go to ToW 2010, but i have no speedcube. i have 24 days left, but i'd like it before the actual competition. what speed cube do you think is best for me? i watched camcubers video, but... i'm still stuck. i really like crispy cubes, but i also over-shoot alot, so i need something that can cut corners. also, what about the magic's there? are there any good ones specifically? just wondering.

F-II fer surrre.

With the faster shipping, PopBuying is Ideal.
However, I'm a bit cheap, and so I get the cheaper shipping.

 

[dillonbladez]

I'm a bit cheap,

ummm, i'd go cheap too

and F-II sounds cool

so noob

 

[dillonbladez]

bump? also, i need sugestions for magics on popbuying. are there any good ones? (iSpinz, hurry up and reply )

 

[iSpinz]

Huh? Am I famous now? Wait a few days and buy a TaiYan from me! As for Magics I bought this one and restrung it for stability.

 

[dillonbladez]

i can't restring. i tried. and failed. and not just failed, i failed epically. also, what does the TaiYan feel like? crispy? i like crispy. remindes me of potatoe chips.

you forgot the link didn't you?

edit:

i got half-ninja'd

 

[iSpinz]

I got the link. Let me see if its "crispy". If you order a Taiyan, I'll restring your magic free.

 

[dillonbladez]

i dunno. my dad just ordered some cubes.

i came back from school and he said he ordered a cube on ebay. it doesn't even say what type. god. then i'm like... WHAT?! it doesn't even say what type! i told i wanted a type F-II and he got pissed, and said 'like, jesus, what freakin difference is there?!'

my dad is pretty scary when he's pissed.

[dillonbladez]

lol, i know. anyway, suggestions on a reliable magic yet?

 

[iSpinz]

The one I just showed you....

 

[dillonbladez]

restrung it for stability.

so it's not stable, and restringing it will make it? or is it stable, and restringing adds extra stability?

 

[iSpinz]

restrung it for stability.

so it's not stable, and restringing it will make it? or is it stable, and restringing adds extra stability?

Here's what happened:

I got the magic, was getting great times(Sub 1.5) and then I tried to push it to the limit, and a string broke. Luckily, I had a spare string. I used that to restring it using Lucas Garron's tutorial. It's great now!

I'm just trying to say that Lucas' stringing method beats the one that comes with the magic.

Edit: Yeah, the second thing you said.

 

[dillonbladez]

oh. ok
thanks

whoops.

time for a edit:

regarding the shipping time.... any canadians, share their experience? it arrives via polar bear, right?

jokes, but how long does it usually take?

 

[dillonbladez]

i think edits should bump threads.

I ordered mine 2 weeks ago thursday and still I have not gotten any shipment email notification or whatever. Its really annoying.

 

[iSpinz]

Let me say it again:

"I'm pretty sure Popbuying doesn't mark their items or inform you if they are out of stock."

 

[irene8664]

i think u should contact them

make sure the email adress is the same one as the paypal account you ordered with on the site, or make an account if you dont have one
