Description
The Bamboozler from Serhiy Grabarchuk (Bits and Pieces)
Twelve small bunches of bamboo pieces need to be put together in the stand to make a bundle of bamboo pipes. This puzzle was surprisingly difficult. It’s probably (unintentionally) a dexterity puzzle too… it was not easy to keep the pieces stable in the stand. I’ve enjoyed a couple other puzzles from Grabarchuk but this one was tough. The photos are careful to avoid any possible spoilers.
The wood puzzle is in great condition and has mostly been stored in its box. Comes with its original box and instructions. The instructions include a “Russian puzzle story” and solution. The cardboard box has a couple of tears on the flaps.

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, most of my listed puzzles shouldn't 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 listed a few sequential discovery (SD) puzzles, puzzle boxes, and various metal/wood puzzles from Bits & Pieces this time. I've also listed a couple of packing puzzles from Frederic Boucher.
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. Where useful, I've tried to take photos of the puzzles under different lighting conditions. All puzzles are kept in a smoke-free home maintained at 45-55% humidity.
