T-205 Confined Cubes Search:

Post by Jaime C. » Fri Apr 03, 2015 3:43 pm

Hello :!:
I am struggling searching for a shop where i can get the original/standard price of this item. I bought one a year ago but i wish to have some extra. Is it impossible or late now to get this item in affordable price :?:

They're always on eBay. Make sure you shop on eBay US, not eBay UK. The sellers in Europe charge a lot more.

About a month ago I found one shop still have some stocks but when the owner found out that it was discontinued he cancelled my order and says the items are worth to hold them for a while to make some money. So sad :(

That's pretty unpolite actually. There's nothing wrong with asking more when something gets harder to find, but he should have done his homework before putting it for sale.
They are tough to find Jamie, I've also bee looking for a spare for some time now but have yet to find one. I'm sure you can still find them for 50 - 60 USD.

Yes David and it was so disappointing because i contacted/message first the owner and we had an exchange of communication and he agreed to sell but at the end he changed his mind and refused selling the item :oops: :evil:

There are two on eBay now, but they're crazy overpriced. If you wait, you'll find one for $49 or so I think.

I do not think 65 USD is overpriced actually. Of course, when you compare to the selling price when they were in production (which I admit is not that long ago) it is high, but still, this price is pretty OK imho. The problem is shipping and customs ... :evil:

Yes Pete and it is from Stereo but since i have one already maybe I could buy other Tenyo items ( for 79 € ) which i do not have yet. Maybe that is more wiser :)

I couldn't agree with you more David! Maybe I should go to the Members Only section and solve that problem. :D

Has anyone had any luck doing it the "more difficult" way by catching the extra pink cube in your hand as you shake the prop up and down? I've never been able to catch it.

It's how I always person it now, it's timing the small 'pinch' on the up movement. Less is more I've found, you almost need no pinch at all, just enough for the cube to lodge itself

Would a piece of clear double stick tape in the palm of the hand do it? Hold the hand stretched with the piece of tape over the tube. Shake upwards ... . Take of the hand while curling the fingers.
