This is a rare treat on sale today!

That's right, some lunatic (me!) is selling Hugo the Hippo!

You all can guess why anyways. I'm selling this poor hippo to pay for a tortoise soon. Tortoise Master Race!

Hugo is a delightful puzzle box that I had a lot of fun taking apart and putting it back together, but frankly put, it's too easy for me to care about keeping the poor guy. It's beautifully crafted and the moves are a tactile pleasure to perform, but it's still what I consider an easy solve and it's not an SD puzzle in the first place. There are no tools, just movements to open up the belly of a fearsome hippo as if we're in Africa hunting big game.

I have to admit a shameful secret though. Despite how gorgeous Hugo is with a shimmering belly full of chatoyance as shown in the fourth picture, there are defects. In the last picture, there are tiny dents from when a friend forced a move he shouldn't have done. That friend didn't follow the Hippopotamic Oath! The dents should be visible in the picture as whitish lines. If it helps, the marks aren't visible when Hugo is in the assembled state. Only when Hugo is dismantled or mid-solve.

Here's the original product page for Hugo: https://shop.pluredro.com/products/hugo-the-hippo

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 (and domestic) 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...

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...

Smuggler's Hold by Jesse Born

When it comes to Jesse's puzzles, Smuggler's Hold is a nice compact one which makes carrying it around easy so I can show it off to friends and family without much worry about it being too big or delicate to share! It looks incredible as if it's an actual smuggling pirate's artifact and is deceptive in how much puzzling it can hide away in such a tiny space!I wouldn't consider it the best of Jesse's work, but that's because he's got so many utterly astonishingly incredible puzzles which overshad...

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...
