Description

Splice is a puzzle that loves to slip and slide all over the place! Pieces don't stay stable for long so I have to be careful to keep track of where each piece is or otherwise the pieces get mixed up and I'm at a dead end all over again. I freely admit I used Burr Tools to put this puzzle back together instead of trying to reverse my steps because I didn't remember how everything came apart in the slightest! It's not too hard to take apart despite the plentiful number of dead-ends, but it's a nightmare to put it back!

There is one piece with a gouge on it which is shown in the last picture. Doesn't really change anything, it's purely cosmetic: https://puzzlewillbeplayed.com/666/Splice/

If any prospective bidders wants it, I can send over the Burr Tools file for Splice.

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

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

Bananas by Jon Keegan

It's the summertime in USA and time for Keegan to release a new puzzle! Except he's releasing TWO new puzzles. Since I can't remotely afford them with my current budget and lack of change hiding in sofas near me, how about I sell an older Keegan puzzle to pay for the new one(s)? Yeah that's right, Bananas is on the market for you hungry monkeys!Anyways, there isn't much for me to personally tell about this puzzle. It's in near-mint condition with me being very careful to not scratch up any part ...

TwisTIC by Andrew Crowell

TwisTIC is either loved or hated by solvers and it all comes down to the simple fact that it boasts the highest number of rotations (twists) by any tic designed by Andrew! I've had to make solution videos to help friends reassemble their copies when they came to me begging for help! Don't ask me for help though, I don't have the video saved anymore: https://woodwondersonline.com/products/twisticEither way, this is one of his most well known designs and a very tricky tic to assemble o...

HepTIC by Andrew Crowell

So normally, I wouldn't think about listing a puzzle without mentioning its name or designer, but I have had this TIC for months now and there isn't a single person who I asked with any clue what the name of this TIC even is. If I at least knew the designer's name, I could contact them for identification, but no luck there!I suspect this was a personal copy someone made of a tic they saw only through pictures. It's made entirely out of one wood type and the pieces are glued together instead of u...

Six Faces by Andrew Crowell

Six Faces is a tricky disassembly puzzle which follows in the same vein as Six Rings. There are pieces which comes out fairly soon, but then the solver is stuck dealing with multiple smaller pieces remaining which need to be manipulated without much visible before the puzzle comes fully apart: https://woodwondersonline.com/collections/gallery-1/products/six-faceIt may seem to be a type of burr, but there are rotational moves, so it's closer to being a TIC that's just in a non-cuboid sh...
