I have sorted all my hairtoys and singled out the ones I never wear.
Ideally, I'd like to swap them. I will consider selling if swapping doesn't work out, but because of the Euro-Dollar exchange rate, only sells within Europe make much sense (if you're from a non-Euro country and willing to pay the price I want I won't stop you, though :lol:). I want to try swapping first, if that doesn't work out I'll edit prices in.
I also prefer to do sells within Europe because I don't have a working PayPal account at the minute and because we Europeans lack beautiful, high quality hairtoys anyway :lol:
Swaps will only be considered with Members with 100posts / 60 days membership, sells I don't care much.
On with the beauties!
1. Baerreis Tulipwood Lucky Cranes, 6" GONE
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a146/silith1/luckycranestulipwood2.jpg
15cm/ 6" length. The wood is very beautiful - light wood with red streaks. Sadly, the wood doesn't match my haircolor at all, the red has a pinkish cast to it, so I don't wear them. :-( They were worn about once or twice for picture taking purposes, not more. They are really, really beautiful. The shape seems unusual, but holds well - it's not corkscrew like, like the Ketylos are, but more "wavy".
2. Burgundy Ficcare Maximas, Large GONE
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a146/silith1/burgundyficcare.jpg
I absolutely adore the Burgundy color - but sadly, it has a golden border/back. And I don't wear gold. At all.
I got it from a swap as well, so it went through several hands already and I've worn it for quite a while. It has very light scratches in the polish, you can only see them in the right light and if you know what to look for - they're not obvious, but they are there. Just wanted to add that, it's not in pristine condition anymore but has seen some love already.
3. Ficcare Mini Maximas - 20€, shipping included within Europe

These are baby blue and very cute, about 5cm / 2" length. I'm just not able to use them. They're never worn.
The color doesn't photograph very well, but baby/light blue is a very accurate description. :wink:
4. XL Flexi-8 GONE
(picture of it is on the Flexi8 homepage (http://www.flexi8.com/flex/0596.html))
Yeah I just don't like the handling of it. It is rather heavy and I can't get it to hold without pulling. Worn once or twice, I think. It's silver, in case that's not clear from the picture.
I might consider swapping this against another flexi8 because I am intrigued by the style, just the XL size doesn't work for me, so I might consider other sizes and give the flexi8s a second chance. Doesn't have to be, though, will swap this against something different as well.
What I'm searching for:
I'd love to get something from Quattro or Ketylo (forks or sticks). I will also consider swapping for other "high quality" hairforks or sticks like Baerreis, MtM, MeiFa etc - I'm also willing to pay for value differences if there are any - I'm sure we could work out a fair deal. I might consider Ficcare but only of the newest fall colors or black and I doubt anyone would swap those away, would you? :p Sticks and Forks should have a functional length between 5" and 6". I don't search a specific color, I love dymondwood (but not if it has yellow or green in it) and I don't wear gold.
