Description

Heart in Heart is a rare puzzle meant for a keen collector of Strijbos puzzles.

In fact, I can only recommend bidding on this puzzle if the prospective bidder is a Strijbos collector, because while this puzzle was very delightful to play with and solve, it's also a very simple puzzle in the end. It's worth buying if the price is cheap, but if this auction reaches the same level as other prior auctions, then I can not in good faith suggest people bid very high due to how easy this puzzle is.

Made of aluminum and brass, this is a puzzle with some nice heft and some gorgeous machining work which has left lines in the aluminum and brass. The lines seem to ripple as the puzzle shines under reflective light. The tolerances of the parts are also impeccable and the parts slide pass each other extremely smoothly.

This puzzle is in very good condition, but the aluminum heart has developed a few scratches through play which I have done my best to show in the final image. The scratches are only visible under bright light. I've also just recently cleaned up the puzzle with metal polish to remove any patina.

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.

Payment Methods: Wise, Other payment method (see description)

Tenchi by Frederic Boucher

Tenchi is a fun little assembly puzzle that Cubic Dissection made from Fredric's design. It's an "anti-slide" puzzle where all of the pieces have to put into the square and positioned around the single cube notch in a way that none of the pieces can slide right back out of the square on either end. It sounds impossible, but I promise that it's very doable even if you have never tried this style of puzzling before.If it ends up being too confusing or demanding to fully solve, I have a solution Bu...

Turtle Trip by Gerard Hudson

I almost feel like I'm selling off my grandparent's ashes and belongings with this one. Turtle Trip was the very first major 3d-printed puzzle I bought that wasn't just a packer or tic puzzle while also being one of the first sequential discovery puzzles which introduced me to the ever-popular puzzling genre.It's sentimental on multiple levels how much I've enjoyed keeping this puzzle around for years on end. I even miss Gerard since he vanished from MPD 3 years ago. I sincerely hope he simply d...

Matchbox Playground by Péter Gál

Does anyone remembers Oskar's Matchboxes? The solver had 5 matchboxes with a square shell and a box attached to it at different spots from piece to piece, and then they had to be put them together so all 5 boxes would fit inside another matchbox. It was a very interesting puzzle with 4 cavities to store small items inside and people had fun finding multiple ways to put the boxes together. It was fairly popular and not the only one of it's type! Matchbox Play Six by Olexandre Kapkan upped the cou...

Smuggler's Hold by Jesse Born

When it comes to Jesse's puzzles, Smuggler's Hold is a nice compact one which makes carrying it around easy so I can show it off to friends and family without much worry about it being too big or delicate to share! It looks incredible as if it's an actual smuggling pirate's artifact and is deceptive in how much puzzling it can hide away in such a tiny space!I wouldn't consider it the best of Jesse's work, but that's because he's got so many utterly astonishingly incredible puzzles which overshad...
