Description

Edge Corner Cube Variation and Non-Void Cube Variation are very unusual TICs designed by Lohe and printed by Andrew Crowell.

Their novelty is the fact that pieces are attached by diagonal connectors which makes for a large degree of freedom in what potential moves can be made. While they aren't easy tics to be solved, it is likely that they are actually fairly simple solves in comparison to the potential tics lurking in the possibility space of diagonally linked tics. I've copied over two images showing the separated pieces from the original Etsy store page since that does a better job of showing how wild looking the pieces are. They don't look as nicely posed when I try arranging them for a picture: https://www.etsy.com/listing/961830292/edge-corner-cube-variation-and-non-void?show_sold_out_detail=1&ref=nla_listing_details

I think there are only 5 or 6 other designs out there that make use of corner attachments, but these are the only two that Lohe came up with himself.

Unlike most other TICs, I think it's best to play with these as a disassembly problem before trying to put them back together. But it will be decided by the buyer whether they should be shipped assembled or disassembled.

The prints are in good condition, but on the light blue cube, there are some tiny discolored spots as shown in the 4th picture.

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. Wise can also be used for domestic transactions.
I am willing to consider other desired 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.

Please notice that with the Thanksgiving holiday coming up, my shipping out this puzzle may be delayed. It will still go out within the 5 day period dictated by PuzzleParadise, but please be patient if I end up using most of that time.

Abraham's Whale by Idan Shvartz

Abraham's Whale is a difficult puzzle that I found frustrating and tough. Truth be told, I just gave up after the first few steps and I don't have any further desire to push deeper into this puzzle. So the internals are almost completely untouched by me and is pristine! I've decided to just let it go to a more deserving buyer.Bluntly put, I think the first step or two are too difficult for puzzlers to guess at, and I'm planning on sending over some hints to make it a bit easier for the potential...

Gravitational Burr by Juno

Juno definitely knows how to take a classic puzzle and add in a twist to make it seem completely fresh again! Not only is this a twist on the standard burr-style puzzle, it's also a twist on the grooved burrs that Juno likes to make.Gravitational Burr is a burr with a sneaky surprise hiding. Simply put, there's a ball bearing inside which prevents the burr pieces from rapidly coming apart. The solver has to work to manipulate the ball inside based on auditory and tactile cues through a maze unti...
