Hi all
Just got one of these from an auction!
Any idea if these are rare as not seen many about ?
It's the Ideal original and with instructions !

Never been good at solving the rubic original !

They aren't particularly rare, but certainly well worth having! I have one on my desk at work and love it! Solving one face is about my limit for a Rubik's Cube, so this is perfect for me.

They're probably worth around $20-$25 (I'm assuming you have the popular English red-white-blue 1981 version), although if you have the black & white version you're looking at a decent bit more.

If you want a great resource for twisties check out the TP.com Museum. I've always found it very useful.

And if anyone else would be looking for one, I recommend buying one (not an original) from SMAZ. He uses great quality stickers on his cubes and they will last.

Unfortunately its not in its original box but it is in good condition
And with instructions!

So maybe able to get more than a fiver !
