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!
Bolt Action is the middle child, but unlike most middle children who are deprived of attention by the older and younger sibling, Bolt demands attention and love on its own merits! It has a secret to be found independently of removing the coin, and feels the closest to the traditional tool-usage that people think of when they hear SD.
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 that sort of authenticity to go with the printed coins Alan supplied.
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.
