Description
Orion 24-Step Puzzle Box from Patrick Alpers
This laser cut puzzle designed and produced by Patrick Alpers requires 24 steps to open. I found the sequence fun and interesting, but not overly challenging. I really enjoyed the process, since there are lots of things to move initially and it feels like you're making constant progress. I did get stuck for a bit near the end, and was satisfied when I finally came up with the solution to fully open the box and reveal the token inside. There is an additional challenge in putting the box back together again, if you didn't carefully keep track of all the pieces as you opened it!
This box was purchased used and I've solved it several times. It is in excellent cosmetic and functional condition. I think this is the nicest piece that I have listed this time, and I've listed it well below it's retail price.

Buyer is responsible for shipping which should be $6-8 (within USA, first-class). Priority mail (and heavier puzzles) might be $2 to $5 more. I charge only exact shipping costs. Please contact me if you need an estimate for international shipping. If you wish to estimate shipping costs yourself, I don't think anything that I've listed will weigh more than 16 ounces (450 grams), and the smaller puzzles should be much less than that. I will combine multiple items for cheaper shipping--I have a few packing puzzles and puzzle boxes listed this time.
I can accept payments via Paypal, Zelle, or Transferwise. There will be no additional packaging or handling fees.
I try to grade condition conservatively. If the puzzle shows any sign of wear from use, it'll be a B or lower. If the puzzle looks like it did when I received it new (barring any defects), it will be graded A.
