...got that from Eureka a couple of years ago - didn't realise that it was a Coffin original until quite recently(!)

(It hadn't been billed as such on their web-site at the time...)

You know full well that you don't regret it at all. :D

And as you brought this topic up again here's another recommendation ( :twisted: ):

Very cheap Stewart Coffin reproductions, including his three piece block for $8!

I've put in an order but not got it yet, it will still be a little while as the guy making them has had a personal loss.

Very nice find!
But that webshop keeps adding zero dollars for shipping and handling.
That cannot be correct, can it?

You are correct, that's not right. Brian (the creator) will send you an email with the shipping cost that you can pay him in addition.
I ordered 3 puzzles and paid only $17 delivery from the US to the UK, so it's not bad.

He quoted $17 for the 3 I ordered as well.

I ordered the 3 using the online process and paid the amount for those 3 items again using the online process from his website - the online ordering process would not let me add the additional shipping cost so I then did a manual Paypal payment to the same email address for the shipping cost.
