Re: Current Puzzle Deals
There were two Zen puzzles on Ebay which ended around the same time...one went for $144.50, this is the one Barcared is referring to. The other (in almost brand new condition) closed at $177.50.....went to yours truly.Barcared wrote:It went for about $145, which isn't much but I missed the last hour of the auction to push it further.

Nice one Jerry! I was hoping you'd manage to get hold of one of them considering the starting prices were pretty reasonable.jerryloo71 wrote:The other (in almost brand new condition) closed at $177.50.....went to yours truly.

Re: Current Puzzle Deals
For anyone interested, there is a Charles Perry Zen and Ball puzzles on Ebay now. Both look to be in pretty good condition from the photos. Auction closes in about 10 hours....

Re: Current Puzzle Deals
Has this guy got a load of them or something? This must be at least the third pair of these puzzles that have been listed by the same seller.

Re: Current Puzzle Deals
No idea, but the delrin on this one seems to be in much better condition than the one I got. Still I'm going to re dye mine and it should be good as new. There does seem to have been a lot of these appear lately. This is #5 by my count.
