It's the summertime in USA and time for Keegan to release a new puzzle! Except he's releasing TWO new puzzles. Since I can't remotely afford them with my current budget and lack of change hiding in sofas near me, how about I sell an older Keegan puzzle to pay for the new one(s)? Yeah that's right, Bananas is on the market for you hungry monkeys!

Anyways, there isn't much for me to personally tell about this puzzle. It's in near-mint condition with me being very careful to not scratch up any part of the puzzle. I took months and month to solve this thinking things through and being very careful to proceed. Aluminum scratches very easily and I wanted to keep this puzzle looking as nice as possible.

This puzzle was an amazing journey and I felt very sympathetic to the monkey inside. Keegan was my jailer who made a mental cage around my mind with this puzzle. He's one scary zoo-keeper to manage that! Anyways I can't say too much without spoiling this puzzle and it's been out long enough that I'm sure anyone bidding on this has some idea of what they're in for.

I'll mention that I have the original laser-cut wooden box which is an ingeniously cool feature of the puzzle. But it's still very thin, fragile wood holding a heavy metal puzzle. Despite being as careful as possible and minimizing the amount of times I took the puzzle in and out of the wooden container, it still suffered some damage with a corner prying apart where the glue weakened. I show it as best as I can in the third picture. The original shipping box from Keegan is still around to transport the crate and puzzle in maximum safety. But it's also a pretty large box at 12.5"x12.5x12.5" (because of all of the padding used inside). So keep that in mind if you are an international buyer since shipping is very unpredictable these days with the tariff nonsense going on here sorry.

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: Wise, Other payment method (see description)

Enhanced Cube Bi-Section by Bill Darrah/Harry Nelson

Enhanced Cube Bi-Section is a fairly unusual tic. While as a 2 piece tic, it is on the easy side, it has the remarkable property where it can be assembled purely through rotations without any sliding moves involved whatsoever.So while I consider this to be a trivial solve, it's a very unique concept to explore and enjoy when it comes to TICs in general.The wood is a fairly pale yellow, but isn't yellowheart or an exotic wood. I'm not sure which wood this puzzle is made of, but I think it's...

HepTIC by Andrew Crowell

So normally, I wouldn't think about listing a puzzle without mentioning its name or designer, but I have had this TIC for months now and there isn't a single person who I asked with any clue what the name of this TIC even is. If I at least knew the designer's name, I could contact them for identification, but no luck there!I suspect this was a personal copy someone made of a tic they saw only through pictures. It's made entirely out of one wood type and the pieces are glued together instead of u...

Splice by Alexander Magyarics

Splice is a puzzle that loves to slip and slide all over the place! Pieces don't stay stable for long so I have to be careful to keep track of where each piece is or otherwise the pieces get mixed up and I'm at a dead end all over again. I freely admit I used Burr Tools to put this puzzle back together instead of trying to reverse my steps because I didn't remember how everything came apart in the slightest! It's not too hard to take apart despite the plentiful number of dead-ends, b...

A Bolt from the BLUE by Ali Morris

A Bolt from the BLUE is Ali's IPP40 exchange puzzle which delighted many lucky IPP visitors at the time. Because it's not just any puzzle (or any bolt puzzle either) to test the solver's mind, but also a joke to make people laugh once they achieve the goal to remove the washer (which isn't visible in the beginning). I was very amused once I found the trick to it and how most prior solvers must have shared at least a chuckle in honour of Ali as well.It's a puzzle that I think most peo...
