Where do I even begin with Captain's Quest?

I am in awe of how incredible the craftsmanship and build of the puzzle is! I am in love with how beautiful it is and it just looks mind-boggling fantastic.

In terms of looks and build, I consider it among the best looking puzzles I've ever seen. Nothing new here. Jesse always knocks it out of the park with how pretty his puzzles are, but it's amazing how nice it looks and feels as a hybrid of metal and wood. There are supposed to be some printed parts as well, but I never noticed them at all and they must be only used in hidden sections that are not revealed to the solver.

The puzzling is amazing as well. I was surprised by the novel mechanisms used and I loved how everything was in theme. It really feels like a puzzle a submarine captain would come up with, or serve as an amazing gift to a captain! I wish I could say more, but I shouldn't spoil anything!

I'll mention that there are some ciphers and riddles involved with solving this puzzle for those who aren't fans of that sort of puzzling.

I don't really want to let go of this puzzle and I feel guilty for reselling this when I was so fortunate to get an early copy, but this puzzle retails at $1,189, and that's just too much money for me to have tied up in a puzzle. So I bought it with the intention of solving it and passing it on to a lucky buyer right afterwards.

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: Other payment method (see description)

Turtle Trip by Gerard Hudson

I almost feel like I'm selling off my grandparent's ashes and belongings with this one. Turtle Trip was the very first major 3d-printed puzzle I bought that wasn't just a packer or tic puzzle while also being one of the first sequential discovery puzzles which introduced me to the ever-popular puzzling genre.It's sentimental on multiple levels how much I've enjoyed keeping this puzzle around for years on end. I even miss Gerard since he vanished from MPD 3 years ago. I sincerely hope he simply d...

Simple Box 1 by Ben

Out of all of Ben's puzzles, it's interesting how my top favorite is also his cheapest (relatively speaking) puzzle to buy. The Simple Locks and the upcoming Simple Pen are more visually appealing, but the solve of Simple Box is just so much more fun and elegant in my eyes. I had a blast with it and am deeply impressed by Ben's creativity.Get this sucker so I can convert another puzzler into being a brainless fan of Ben who mindlessly buys everything of his!I apologize that my auction pricing is...

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...

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...
