Of course they're worth selling. I don't use much CIM at all but Hades? It's the bomb.

Those are all very good colors... you shouldn't have any problems selling them.

You really should try them. The only effetre I use now is DSP, ivory, and opal yellow. I use pretty much only CIM for the "basic" colors.

Over the years I've spent making beads I have used just about everything but boro. I currently make close to 500 different color combos and styles, and now that I've discovered CiM, it's going to be about 200 more. Give or take a few.

The color pallette is different than Effetre and Vetrofond...it's beautiful glass! I would hang on to it, unless you need to sell it for other reasons.

Why not try them? I like CIM better than most of the Effetre colours. You won't make any kind of profit selling it, those colours are all in production and CIM is pretty consistent with it's batches (although if anyone has Algae I will pay big bucks for it!)

I would love to keep it. Unfortunately, I have lots more glass than money. I am trying to figure out a way to sell off some of it so I dont have to sell my torch and everything.
Wish I could just win the lottery and be done with it.
