First, there's a second Sam Savitt rodeo puzzle on eBay right now. One is priced at $134.99 (eek!). The second one, bidding starts at $99.99, or the Buy it Now is $169.99.
Good grief.
As far as ongoing puzzles, I bought two at Upscale Resale last week or the week before. One is a Springbok, a 500-piece photo of someone fishing.
The other is a Eurographics 1000-piece collage of seed and fruit catalogs. I paid $8 for that one (Upscale seems to be upping the prices), but I finished it yesterday and all the pieces are there. So, the $8 wasn't wasted. But used puzzles are always a gamble, so I try not to pay too much.
Last weekend, I also finished a Mudpuppy puzzle called Slowpokes. 500 pieces. These are decent puzzles, the pieces fit together well, but the cardboard seems kind of flimsy.
And before Slowpokes, I put together one of the new Springboks from the Orscheln sale, a 1000-piece puzzle of retro soda cans. Springbok still has good random-cut pieces, but the fit isn't as good (mostly because of pieces that don't get cut cleanly), and the cardboard seems thinner than it used to be.
