Selling Qiyi Wushuang Magnetic 5x5

[jessicajung]

I have a Qiyi Wushang 5x5 that I put magnets in. The problem is it's black, and I can't do big cubes if they aren't stickerless. So I am willing to sell my black one. It has N35 magnets in the inner layers and N50 magnets in the outer layers. It performs extremely well. I have a minimum price in mind but I'm not going to mention it. Highest offer wins. If you already have a stickerless Wushuang and you're willing to send it to me (you pay shipping) it'll add $20 to the bid. Thanks!

• Please post a price in for ALL FS (For Sale) deals. If you aren't sure how much you want for it, give a range. Please avoid using "make an offer".

• $10 for starter

• No thread-lowballing. If you think someones price is unreasonable or you want to make a lower offer, PM or e-mail them.

I took down my post, but you can't criticize me for "lowballing." He clearly broke the rules and did not give a range. I expressed interest and gave him an admit-ably low starting offer.

My post wasn't so much a criticism as pointing out rules that I believed had been inadvertently overlooked by both previous posters. I would point out that the rule is not against lowballing, but THREAD lowballing. If you make a public low offer it shortchanges the seller because you reduce the likelihood that someone will make a good offer.

As an aside, in this case it's relatively easy to figure a fair price: the cube is roughly $20, it's got roughly $10 worth of magnets in it, and likely between 1 and 3 hours of work putting magnets in. By my figures a fair starting price is on the order of $40-50, not $10.

Your talking a used cube that i can pick up for $25 new. And wow you put $10 worth of magnets in the thing. I could give a crap less about your labor. How do I know they were installed correctly? Plus i have to pay shipping. Your still talking a used cube. $25 max with the shipping included

Chill, man. It's not my puzzle, but just because you don't care about labor doesn't mean it's worthless. Why would you buy a magnetized cube anyway, rather than a standard cube and magnets? Because somebody taking the time (and risk of ruining the cube) is worth something.

My labor is worth time, it's costing me more in three hours of work then actually buying a premade cube.

Ok, @Zerksies chill, at the end of the day it's a twisty puzzle. And all of a sudden labor does not matter? Believe it or not, no one is going to make a cube put 2-3 hrs of work into it, and then sell it for what they paid for the materials. And also @One Wheel thanks for pointing out the rules for both of us earlier. It is people like you who make this forum a great community.
