Description

When people asked for a low priced Sequential Discovery puzzle so they could try out examples of the genre, the trilogy of Unsafe Deposit, Bolt Action, and Mighty Pin were what people highly recommended at the time. Unfortunately, they aren't being produced anymore which is a shame for the newcomers to the puzzling world today. However, it still stands as the prime puzzle to recommend as a "gateway" puzzle into the Sequential Discovery genre!

Unsafe Deposit is the first born child who excels at everything and makes their younger siblings look like slackers and gets way too much pressure from the parents to have grandchildren asap. People see it as the classic and best of the series. It's hard to comment on it without giving away too much, but it makes for a delightful SD as the solver works on moving around the coin and deducing what is going on inside the box.

Alan couldn't ship out copies with USA quarters internationally due to restrictions on shipping currency, however it was only an issue for him because he would otherwise send out hundreds of them. I can send an international shipment with a quarter in it without issue for anyone who wants this puzzle.

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.

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...

Pizzeria Italiana by Sergio Amateis

Pizzeria is a lovely puzzle that placed very well in this year's IPP43 design competition as a Top Ten Vote Getter! So when I had the luck to see that Tye had printed out a batch for people to buy very soon after the IPP finished and had announced their winners, I scrambled for a copy asap!I had fun with this puzzle and laughed at some of the very well themed moves and pieces matching the concept of a pizzeria! I almost felt as if I should have been snacking on a slice of pizza while solving thi...

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...
