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!

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.

Grooved 6 Board Burr #7 by Juno

Grooved 6 Board Burr #7 by Juno
The Grooved Board Burr series was an amazing innovation in the design of board burrs where instead of just burr plates that the solver has to figure out how to take apart, they now have to deal with blocking pins obstructing their ability to dismantle this burr. I only ever had the luck to try #6 and #7 in the series, but they were both an absolute blast to solve!It's the hardest one in the series and stays stable for an impressively long time. But the final few moves before the first piece can ...

LOL by Frederic Boucher
Frederic Boucher has a long history of coming up with wild puzzles, but he doesn't like to craft more than a handful of copies before moving on to the next design. Which is why I'm so appreciative of Pelikan for stepping in to make more copies of LOL for everyone to try!LOL is a packing puzzle where the solver needs to fit all of the pieces into a 4x5 space with only a 1x2 opening to fit the pieces inside. It's obvious that rotations will be required since there are pieces that wouldn't otherwis...

Tenchi by Frederic Boucher

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...

Matchbox Playground by Péter Gál

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...
