Just think about it for a minute....I only have one rod of each and buying the bundle is purely for pleasure..like when I go to Starbucks which I do not do often..For me coffee is a treat to be relished and enjoyed with an Apple Fritter!! YUM!
I would do the same with this bundle..My Treat. If I really liked the beads I made I would probably put them into gorgeous jewelry for ME! and sell the rest as rare glass beads..
My bundle would contain:
Parrot Green
Seafoam Green
Slate Blue
Poppy
Ocean Green
Frosty Blue
Olympia Rain
Amber Rose
Chardonnay
Terra Original
ASK Pink
Moonstone Jade
Well...that's my fantasy bundle....

So this is your wish list and not what you have - right? Poppy is the Vetrofond Poppy - correct?

Is Frosty blue also known as Glacier Blue Vetrofond?
Thanks

That's a great idea to me. I know I have most of the colors that have been talked about in this thread and probably a few more silver glass as well.
Red Copper Green? Really??? mmmmmm nice! I have pounds of that!

You know, I'm also looking for Olympia Rain. It's an old Double Helix color.

Wow! Are you serious? I bought Terra last year. The batch is marked 4/13. I have 4 full rods left, plus some shorter ones because they came broken. I use it sparingly, but at $10.00 a rod, that would be considerably more than I paid for it, $25.00/1/4 lb, I'd be soooo willing to part with the 4 full rods I have. Any Takers? I'll post a picture if you want.

Debbie, Yep! That is my wish list.
I think the only colors I have that are desirable are: the all Yellow Pineapple Sparkle, Red Copper Green, and I do have the mottled orange and pink Tequila Sunrise. I also have that beautiful Orange Sherbet special odd that I call "shrimp".
I have some EDP, opal yellow and Gold ruby, from years (4) ago and they seem to be much more colorful and better than what is put out now.
I also have one short rod of olympia Rain that I am waiting to use until I get very very used to my new torch..LOL
Okay Barbara, I am up for a bundle.. I'am flexible too..Doesn't have to be all of those EXACT colors I listed.....

I still have almost all the original Olympia Rain that I bought. The problem is, it's transparent like Aion, and I accidently mixed the two, and I can't tell which is which. DUHhhh! I know that was not a smart thing to to.
Anyway, as hard as I tried, I could never get either one of these colors to sing. If I hadn't mixed them, I might have been able to offer them in this Garage Sale. Rats!!!

You should be able to just melt the end of each rod to tell which is which...should be a difference??? However slight?

These are the only three on your list I don't have, But I bet I could make it up to you, and substitute other odd lots that very rare.
If your interested PM me.

Red Copper Green
I remember when I ordered copper green one time and got this red stuff. I thought it was a mistake, but they told me it was an odd lot of copper green. I didn't like it at all so I really haven't used it much. I got another batch of the copper green that I was used to getting. Little did I know that it would one day be a slightly hot commodity. I just checked. I have 4 rods of it. Maybe I should hang on to it.

So what is Olympia Rain going for? Maybe I'll sell mine. I've never used it. I also have Kronos. Is that worth anything?

I have quite a bit of terra, is it really 10.00 a rod? They arent very thick rods. It is original just wondering a fair price as I am really not that fond of it.
My passionate pink has 003 as a number and has a dark streak running down it, looks like streaky pink. Is that the good stuff ??

Hope Debbie doesn't mind me posting - here's a photo of Streaky Pink, which MUST pass the "paddle" test if the rods don't have original tags ('cuz there are too many "look-alikes" in rod form - paddle MUST look like this, with HEAVY Dk. Pink Streaking!!!!):
And here's a couple pictures of the KAS 003 Passionate pink - no streaks, just a tell-tale white core:

Thanks!! I do have streaky pink and I know for sure it's streaky pink. My 003 is not that dark however so it's not the special stuff.
I am seriously thinking of selling my original Terra, got a PM saying yes they are thin rods. Would 8.00 a rod be fair? 10.00 seems so high.

I have two rods of Terra. I think I will sell them because I never could get it to do crap for me.
I also have 1 1/2 half rods of tribal turq. and almost a 1/4 lb of Parrot Green.
What about Intense Tangerine or Orange Punch? I have too many oranges.

Kevin maybe consider putting up two rare " MINI " bundles for sale...
1 rod of Terra
1 rod of Parrot Green
2 orange rods
1 rod of Tribal Turquoise
And see what happens in the garage sale with it. Someone had posted earlier they just wanted to 'try terra' a rod or two.
A lot of people may feel like I do and have not so deep pockets...like I do.
This may be a great way for some to to at least get to experience some of the colors.

Yikes. I just cleaned up my studio. I had most recently been using it for metalworking, so I put the torch back on the Creation Station and put away all the rods on my table. I looked at my glass stash that I rearranged last Fall and I have no idea what some of it is. Most of the mystery rods are Vetrofond odds of some sort - mostly beige in color (all colors of beige). I hate to spend the time to make paddles of each one to figure it out buy I guess I'll have to do it.

I think I just sold some of my high demand rare colors to a couple of friends for a bit less than they were worth. Oh well, I guess that's what we do for friends. I have some pretty rare and odd colors too. Since I might be quitting my job, I might need to sell off some of my stuff. I know I have at least 2 pounds of the original pineapple sparkle. I have quite a bit of the original parrot green too and I would love to part with some of both of those. I think I have tangerine sparkle too and I also have some of the ASK colors that are now out of production. If anyone is interested in seafoam green, parrot green, original pineapple sparkle, crazy cane, slate blue and probably a bunch of other colors, just send me a PM. Please buy from Debbie first if she has anything you want. I might even have to part with my last bit of Terra if things get really tight and some of my other really rare glass. You never know. I would prefer not to but not having a job can force people to do things they wouldn't otherwise do I suppose.
