Description

Where do I begin with this beast of a puzzle? It's one of the most sought after puzzle lock with multiple fanatical fans wanting to collect every single lock made by Rainer. He definitely knows how to make locks that would stump any thief looking to loot one's puzzle collection! It'll stump their minds and is made so sturdily that it'd stump their aching hands and demand power tools to break through!

It's not an easy puzzle at all and I struggled for a long time working on it, but it was such an amazing set of moves that I had fun replaying the solve over and over again. Sadly, it's time for me to let go of this marvelous puzzle. I have other puzzles crying for me to purchase them and to test my feeble brains against them as well. Plus metal always makes me anxious about scratching them up which is not too different from scratching up wooden puzzles as well I suppose.

One "complaint" about this lock is that it's not easy to stand it up on the 2 prongs extending past the bottom of the lock and while the lock is a hefty chunk of nearly solid metal so it's not likely to get damaged or even scratched up from tipping over, it can do some serious damage to other nearby puzzles if it falls on them. So I have a custom 3d printed stand to hold the lock upright and it even comes with a little slot for the lock's key to fit into the stand along with the lock for display purposes.

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 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.

Payment Methods: Wise, Other payment method (see description)

Archipuzzle by Lucie Pauwels

Archipuzzle is actually a sequel of sorts to Stuffing Burr despite both puzzles being designed by different people.Just like Stuffing Burr, Archipuzzle is an unusual burr puzzle where the goal is to assemble it instead of taking the burr apart. Furthermore, it has a catch in that it has no obvious goal shape unlike most other burrs. Instead, solvers need to figure out how to assemble the pieces in a way that every notch is filled in with another piece.Lucie was inspired by Volker's Stuffing Burr...

Hol(e)y by Josiah

Hol(e)y is the third and final puzzle in a trilogy of lego puzzles from Josiah, and it ends things with a major challenge!The goal is to simply open the drawer to find your prize. But if anyone was paying attention, just like with the prior puzzles in the trilogy, you also have to figure out the reset as well which is not a simple reversal of prior steps! It's yet another major step up from Prison Block with 30+ steps and Josiah was gloating about including some diabolical sneaky mechanisms to t...

Mittan by Juno

Mittan is like a cat in that it won't be too friendly with anyone who carelessly approaches and pets it without respecting the cat. And even then, it may sometimes just not like you even if you are respectful and sacrifice a tuna fish in front of the puzzle crying and begging for it to reveal its secrets!And to be honest, I can understand why this cat can be particularly grumpy since the solve involves taking the cat's face apart! I won't say too much to avoid spoilers but man I did wonder if Ju...

Prison Block Puzzle Box by Josiah

Prison Block is the second in a trilogy of lego puzzles from Josiah, and it makes for a very worthy sequel!The goal is to open the gate of the prison, trigger the alarm, and free the imprisoned jailbird from his cell! But that's not the end point of this puzzle. Just like with Sand Castle, you also have to figure out the reset as well which is not a simple reversal of prior steps! It's a major step up from Sand Castle with 18 steps and Josiah was rightfully proud of himself for implementing som...
