Quoted from OLDPINGUY:I too, havent got past step 1...No cheating by reading solution or videos..
I have not succeeded on any of Raniers Locks.
Youll likely be able to Enjoy for as long as you wish, and then resale on Cubic or Baxterweb.
Should bring $1800-$3500...That will make you happy!
How do you know when you’ve solved a step?
Quoted from EricHadley:How do you know when you’ve solved a step?
Something moves. Sometimes there are dead ends, other times, you end up reversing your moves.
If you find the first move within 4 hours, thats pretty amazing!

Received my Wil Strijbos Revenge Lock today! Ha ha this is funnnnnnnnnnn
I now have a new addiction. Thinking about display options now for a future collection

Wow to me that sounds super frustrating and annoying. I can't even stand to play Dragon's Lair or Space Ace because it is like a puzzle trying to determine the precise moves to move forward. Different strokes for different folks I guess. I collect all sorts of cool shit-from comics, BMX bikes, to vintage toys and games. I enjoy hunting for antiques and oddities.

I bought one, but I'm stuck. How do you know when it's broken or you're too dumb to find the next move?
Honestly, I don't even know how I got to where I am now to be honest.

Oh, I agree. I have a huge collection. Many are there for the Art, and the Value.
I truly cant spend hours and get no where, so it better appeal to me in other ways.
Take a Rubiks cube. Ive never solved, nor do I care to, but its fun to play with.
Some puzzles are like that, and those appeal to me.
Others, will spend hours, or weeks to do one. Im happy for them, but I cant do it. Too old.
There is an Auction today, at 3 PM. Last one sold out in less than 3 minutes, due to demand.
As an example, here is one, that looks cool, but Never would I have the Patience to put back together!
Another, one I helped create, is an endless series of small moves, to get 2 halfs of a Key out, and then moves to get to
the keyhole. I find this fun, because something always moves......
and a video from Chris Ramsey on a 10K Box, my friend designed...worth a watch to see something really special.

smaller than pinball machines, but I wonder if he keeps and displays EVERY puzzle he gets, or does he sell some off? Because he goes through A LOT

I figured out the Revenge lock in an hour, kinda sneaky how this one works. Super fun to work on.
Honestly took me longer to put it back together ha ha. Really looking forward to the T12, which comes Monday!

I'm guessing by the amount of lint collected, this guy wears flannel shirts every day of his life.

pack them up because you're moving? Very cool collection. I want a meteorite.
Oh, These are in my office, that I closed 3 years ago, after selling Comet LEDs, and retiring.
Still packing up 35 years of stuff.
If you search on Ebay, there is around 30,000.
But the most abundant, coolest looking, and affordable is
Campo del Cielo meteorite
Search this, and they sell for a Couple dollars on up.
A few years Back, $50 Meteors ended up on Wood Displays, and sold in Stores like in NY, as
Ritzy gifts and marked up into the thousands. Strange Hobby and Business.
I started, when I was manufacturing Meteor, and dinosaur bone into Jewelry.
When Cut, and acid etched, some show interesting widmanstatten patterns. Others might have Olivine Crystals and are called Pallasites.
Iron Meteors, are in a way "Star poop"

Space poop! LOL
looking at some of the ebay sales ebay.com link: sch
Does the price on meteorites rise exponential to weight, or linearly?
Quoted from cait001:Space poop! LOL

I cant say Ive watched them regularly recently, But indeed They are traded by weight in Volume, and can be used
to measure cost per gram. So both?
The Rarity of the Meteor itself, based on Tonnage found, affects the price. As well as the shape, melting patterns,
and content. Rocky Meteors are for collectors, Iron ones, are great paperweights.
I liked slices, and etching, and picked up a couple Large, ultra thin etched slices.
By weight, they came out under $50, but display size, it looks like thousands.
One can even run a magnet at the bottom of a gutter drain and pick up micro meteors that hit your roof!
Searching only etched meteorite, is around 800 listings, and a good way to narrow, what might interest someone.
Most Iron Meteorites dont rust, and are historically important. Tut ankh Amun, has a Dagger, made from Meteorite.
There is a Large Pillar in Delphi, India for 1600 years, and even Abrahams Meteor is in the kaaba at Mecca. ( The Square Black covered Stone Temple in Mecca, that is worshipped in the Hajj) is a Meteor.

OK, so I looked through completed sales....I have plenty I can offer at my cost, and still save you guys some money over Ebay.
Ill take clearer pictures shortly...Id rather the unique pieces I collected get enjoyed, then go in a box.
I have some slices, discs, cubes, trim, as well as some glass domes, and some Metal ID signs...
Might take a couple days, but feel tree to shoot me a PM.
It is very heavy, obviously a solid chunk of metal. The size surprised me, it’s smaller than i expected. Which is good, cause its very manageable in the hand. The machining is very precise. It’s fun to hold in my hand. I’ve poked at it some and have not found any part of the solution yet. I look forward to a whole bunch of hours solving this thing. It’s awesome. I want all 12 of them now

IMG-1860 (resized).jpgNice Trilobite, Ted....I gave mine names.
"Spot", was my first, around 1967, picked up in a Long Beach Rock show, after Spot on the Munsters. These guys would have been tough to enjoy the shoreline...
Quoted from smcclain65:I have been collecting turtles pretty much all my life. I have the full set of 88 soft heads plus tons more, I have a lot on the card and in the box still in storage.

Cool, except for one glaring omission
Quoted from cait001:Cool, except for one glaring omission
Haha, yea. True, I had the money before covid happened and they delayed. The new pin feeling wasn't delayed on my side so i took that money and bought T2 and South Park. Now saving again, frankly I am out of room so I may have to put the 91 Data East TMNT in storage.

Oh!...I thought you meant the Turtles bedspread!
