This post is difficult to write, and perhaps I shouldn't write it at all.
However, now that the site is changing, it is important to provide some background on the genesis of Rare Puzzles and a reference for the future.
The core and heart of Rare Puzzles is in this post.
In March of 2015, my brother Raúl was diagnosed with Klatskin tumor, a very uncommon type of cancer and extremely rare for patients in their 40's. It was inoperable and incurable.
I was then working and living in Los Angeles, CA and decided to come back to Spain and be close to my brother for whatever time left he had. I quit my job, sold almost everything I owned, and took a flight back to Madrid.
I am sure that most of you have been touched by cancer one way or another. I have learned that cancer doesn't leave any family untouched, so you probably know what it looks like. Raúl's cancer started to set our schedules, our routines, and our plans. Patients and caregivers.

Selling your Puzzles

The site will open for members to sell their own puzzles soon.

What this means is that other users will be able to open their own "stores" at Rare Puzzles, list their own items, set their own prices, and ship to whatever countries they wish.
There will be some initial restrictions though:
Members will need previous approval through a simple request form.

Only Factory Sealed and Sealed Bag puzzles will be listed for now.
Only out of catalog puzzles will be listed.
It will be something similar to listing them on Ebay, but without insertion fees, without time limitations, and for half of Ebay's commissions.
The payment preferred method will still be PayPal, since it provides the best protection for buyers and sellers.
Terms and Conditions pages will be inserted covering all these details.
And there will be some challenges, like creating highly customizable shipping options, or dealing with currency.
However, we will work it out.
Suggestions and ideas will always be...
