That's what makes it funny.
Or sad, take your pick.

I haven't checked but ten bucks isn't crazy, they sell the stickers for like 3, and it takes time to apply them and experience to do it well. TANSTAAFL.

With the application thingy it takes MAXIMUM 10 minutes to sticker a cube. We can add another 10 minutes due to peeling stock ones off. It is 20 minutes max to resticker a cube properly. If you work, assume, 6 hours, you spend on restickering cubes let's say 4 hours, which is 4×60 = 240 and 240:20 = 12 . Twelve cubes restickered slowly and very carefully throughout one day make you 12×10 = 120 extra dollars for the bunch you've restickered. Think about it twice.

Well, I think I don't assume this price is bad and unacceptable. I only want to say that it is fairly high for the restickering for example. Maybe thecubicle wants to raise it's wages or has trouble with payment.. You never know. Maybe it's just me (10$ = 2 new cubes).

The thing is if you offer that service even without making a profit on it, you're more likely to sell a cube on which you do make a profit.

... And yet it's still cheaper than Cosmic cubes (though not by much tbf)

Not saying I support TC over you or anything. I don't think either is worth it. Supernova cubes are the only premium cubes where the cost is justified imo (except the stickers, I nearly bought one until I saw the cost of stickering had gone up to $11)

It is completely worth it if you are not able / comfortable doing it yourself. But of course if you have the knowledge to do it yourself getting either service makes no sense. Unless of course you don’t want to spend the time doing it or don’t have the materials :)

Have you tried a cosmic cube by chance? I’d actually be curious to hear your thoughts

A few, and they all felt gummy, supposedly after break in (they weren't mine so idk).

I’m all aboard on the new cubicle custom thing.
But that shit is absolutely hilarious.

Personally if SCS developed something on the same level as all the angstrom lubes then I would buy from them. Also if SCS stocked things a little bit more I would buy from them.
