Making Manabun Labs polygon assemblies.

A modern classic, the Sequential Discovery Boxed Burr Master. A genius design by Junichi Yananose of Pluredro. The day 60 of these were released for sale, the website was intermittent for 6 hours straight. It sold for $600 USD, and I have sold copies for $2800 since. It was unique for its time because the burr sticks that made up the puzzle were also individual puzzle boxes. Here is a complete breakdown video, enjoy. https://lnkd.in/dHGmhYWU

A memorable series of deals I will share. (Aliases used, in the know parties will understand that part). So.. I bought a Berrocal Cariatide for 900, for myself, it was mint. DWD wanted it, so he offered me a Perplex Wishing Well for it, and forgot the box. I got the box, and then traded the whole WW to Crypto for a KCG 555, and a Curly Ash Penultimate Burr Set. My deal with the 555, Jammed gem, and 1100 for TY made the 555 worth $400 to me. (both I didn't want to lose) So I now had a $500 curly ash penultimate. I bought a Stickman Hexagram for $650 and traded both ($1150) to Psychedelic for the Pelikan Train Set, Mochalov Ball, Sucrier Burr, and Mocholav 8+1 cube. I sold?the 8+1 for $250. I traded the ball for a new On The Rocks that I sold for $190 Sucrier sold for $200 And I traded the Train Set for the #1 OHB, to have a Stickman still, and the $250 new McCallum. so $890 returned on $1150 makes the #1 OHB cost me $260. Then when Neal&Stacy offered me a new Bandit for the #1 OHB I asked what he could sweeten the deal with (as I was offered $800 for it already), and he offered me $300. So I guess in the end, I got the Bandit for free and $40. Now we take the 2 Burrlephants I got for 2500 and sold 1 for 2500 and the bandit and you have the EWE Efo. For Free. I took that and traded for a Rainer Popp T9, that I sold for 5k. So... Starting with a 900$ investment I got to make 5k profit and also got to experience some amazing art. (pics added but too many puzzles to show all. In order of deals though)
