Description

Where do I even begin with Captain's Quest?

I am in awe of how incredible the craftsmanship and build of the puzzle is! I am in love with how beautiful it is and it just looks mind-boggling fantastic.

In terms of looks and build, I consider it among the best looking puzzles I've ever seen. Nothing new here. Jesse always knocks it out of the park with how pretty his puzzles are, but it's amazing how nice it looks and feels as a hybrid of metal and wood. There are supposed to be some printed parts as well, but I never noticed them at all and they must be only used in hidden sections that are not revealed to the solver.

The puzzling is amazing as well. I was surprised by the novel mechanisms used and I loved how everything was in theme. It really feels like a puzzle a submarine captain would come up with, or serve as an amazing gift to a captain! I wish I could say more, but I shouldn't spoil anything!

I'll mention that there are some ciphers and riddles involved with solving this puzzle for those who aren't fans of that sort of puzzling.

I don't really want to let go of this puzzle and I feel guilty for reselling this when I was so fortunate to get an early copy, but this puzzle retails at $1,189, and that's just too much money for me to have tied up in a puzzle. So I bought it with the intention of solving it and passing it on to a lucky buyer right afterwards.

I accept and prefer using Zelle as my payment method of choice.
I accept Paypal. I prefer Friends & Family due to the IRS tax rules. But if you rather pay with Goods & Services, I will accommodate that preference.

I accept Wise for international buyers.

I am willing to consider other payment methods.

Shipping is USPS or UPS

Buyer chooses the shipping service and shipping speed, First Class or Priority (assuming the package is under the weight limit for First Class).
Insurance is optional, but buyer has to cover it if it is desired.
I ask the winner to hold off on paying until after I calculate and message final shipping costs to be added to the final bid.

Payments & Returns

Trick Opening 6PB by Juno

6PB is definitely an easy puzzle as Juno warns in the description of the webpage when I bought this puzzle. But hey it's great to have an easy win compared to many, many other puzzles bragging about tying my brain into knots and promising months of struggling. So that wasn't any deterrent to me!While I took apart this trick burr in 2 minutes, and then 10 minutes to put it back together, I still had a blast with it! It's definitely a fun trick and I really enjoyed running through the solve of thi...

Loco Lock by Boaz Feldman

Loco Lock......Don't buy this one. I went slightly loco in a literal sense. This lock is the most innocuous of all puzzle locks I have ever bought from Boaz. There's no unusual features or obvious differences from an ordinary lock unlike others from the same maker who often were more merciful with obvious quirks and places to start investigating when puzzlers first attempt solving them. But for this lock, there's nothing obvious to raise a curious brow at. And yet I suffered so much because of t...

Gravitational Burr by Juno

Juno definitely knows how to take a classic puzzle and add in a twist to make it seem completely fresh again! Not only is this a twist on the standard burr-style puzzle, it's also a twist on the grooved burrs that Juno likes to make.Gravitational Burr is a burr with a sneaky surprise hiding. Simply put, there's a ball bearing inside which prevents the burr pieces from rapidly coming apart. The solver has to work to manipulate the ball inside based on auditory and tactile cues through a maze unti...
