Description

Cogas is a remarkable puzzle. Typically metal puzzles are among the most expensive puzzles one can buy. Which makes sense considering how much more work goes into machinating metal compared to printing plastic or carving wood. But Cogas was roughly only $100 at retail which makes it one of the cheapest metal puzzles I've seen outside of Hanayamas. And I'm not sure if Hanayamas would be much cheaper if they weren't produced in such high quantities.

But don't think that its low price means that the puzzling is similarly cheap! It's actually a very tricky puzzle that stumps many people and once the mechanism is revealed, people will be delighted and surprised by how the creator even came up with the idea! The machinating is also top notch quality which was essential for the puzzle to function.

I would recommend Cogas for anyone who wants a quality metal puzzle for a non-ruinous price tag.

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.

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...

Double Slideways by Raymond Stanton

So once upon a time, Cubic Dissection came out with a lovely puzzle called Slideways that people just went nuts over. It was a 3-piece burr that assembled unlike any burr puzzle before it with coordinate motion moves! It was such an excellent introductory puzzle to the genre of coordinate motion puzzles, also co-mo puzzles for faster speech and slang. It had it all! It was small, easily shared around to even non-puzzlers and simple enough to convey the sheer magic of the deceptively simple and y...

Al Bus by Jordi Gallen

Al Bus is a fantastic printed puzzle that I had to get just for the appeal to my inner child Harry Potter fan. Growing up with that book series and movies left a life-long mark on me as a fantasy fan and when the puzzle based on the book series came along, I had to get it for myself!It's a wonderful SD puzzle that took a few hours to solve and was a lovely time. I loved spotting all of the little references in this one and hope that a similar fan can enjoy this puzzle just as much as I have over...
