Puzzle costs?

[knuckles4204204]

Just out of curiosity around how much do you spend on puzzles in 2 months?
I've spend about $250 on puzzles these past 2 months O.O I didn't know if that was over doing it or what XD

I haven't bought a puzzle in about 9-10 months. Before that was 3-4 months. The orders consist of 2-4 puzzles, maximum of $30.


I only buy cubes that will 90% sure become my speedcube.

I only get puzzle when I NEED them. So I'll have an order of like $30-50 every 8-12 months probably. But when I first started getting into speed solving I wanted EVERYTHING, so i would spend any money I got on the new puzzle that came out. And the most I've spent on a puzzle is like $120-125, it was for the V7 when they first came out and shipping was very expensive.

I rarely buy, and I usually go for the cheap(er) stuff.

("No V-cube for you, mister. You're getting a Shengshou.")

I actually prefer shengshou, I just got a whole Shengshou set (besides 6x6)

Most people when they first start cubing order why more puzzles then they need and the puzzles that they order are just stupid for the most part. More of the time when I see a cool puzzle I find a simulator for it so I don't speed money on a puzzle that I will get bored of in a few days.

I ordered for the first time in probably half a year and for me was $50. It was a type C 2x2 and the shenshou 4x4, 5x5 and 6x6.

I'm more of a collector than a speed cuber so i guess thats why i spend so much on cubes lol

I think I'm going to slow down a little, i got pretty much all i want right now, only thing i want right now is the SS 6x6, and later on (when prices go down or a better brand comes out) I'll get a 9x9 and 11x11

ive spent under $30 when i first started, most of the stuff i got is from doing lockerz-like sites to get cash/paypal to buy stuff

I spent about $50 buying 3x3s 2x2s and some variations when I just started cubing. I managed not to buy another cube for a year, but recently ordered a 4x4, 5x5 and Megaminx which costed about $45 dollars in total. I guess that I just get these urges to buy more cubes when needed. Maybe later I might get a 6x6 and 7x7 and Gigaminx, and spend another ~$80.

As for spending $250 dollars in 2 months, I'd say that you might need to only buy what you need.

I really don't think any of us actually NEED any puzzles, what i do is in a way collect puzzles, i like to get a bunch of different types of puzzles. I like to learn to solve all kinds of twisty puzzles, i guess you could say test my mind, I don't have any doubles of any cube except megaminx, 3x3, 4x4 and 5x5. My most expensive puzzles was probably my Dino Dodechehedron, Crystal Pyraminx, gear cube and 7x7

That is very true ;D
But cubing is fun and new stuff is always cool!

I agree, plus it's great when you have nothing else to do

 

[waffle=ijm]

I stopped buying puzzles a long time ago. I rely solely on the good will of other cubers.

Did you buy that SS 6x6? or was it gave to you?

 

[Yuxuibbs]

all i spent was the amount a rubik's brand costs and crc silicone and that was about 13 months ago when i started cubing. i get my cubes from china and i dont pay for them. i'm about to make my first cube order where i actually have to pay for the cubes. at least 50 dollars. for dayan cubes, 2x2, magic, lube, and pyraminx (dont have any of those puzzles)

 

[asportking]

I try not to buy cubes, but I always end up getting them. Like just last week, I gave away my shengshou 2x2 as a present as an excuse to get the wittwo.

 

[adragast]

In contrast to other cubers who posted here, I buy a lot of cubes. I like to play with them, I know I can simulate them and so on but I prefer to play with them. Void cube, 3x3x2, non-cubic 3x3x5, ... I really enjoy them. Despite this, I find this hobby quite cheap (don't pay for lessons, don't pay for membership, don't pay for magazines, free websites every where...).

 

[collinbxyz]

I usually get new cubes every 1-3 months or so, usually only 1-3 items, and usually about $10-$50. I just recently (last week) bought the lubix zhanchi, and lubix wittwo. Both my mains, but $45...

Can't wait till Christmas! I am planning on getting mini dayan+mf8 4x4, shengshou 5x5, and shengshou/dayan+mf8 6x6 (if dayan+mf8 comes out by then, if not then I will be looking toward shengshou). And probably some other stuff
