I am looking to buy (or swap?) a Maxima in the 3tone blue colours with aqua stones. I am mostly interested in large, but I can do different things with any size, so if you have a smaller one that you are not loving I would love to take it off your hands.
I am mostly interested in buying this, but I also have swappable quality hairtoys if you prefer.
Thank you

ETA: This is the one I'm talking about (http://www.ficcare.com/Products.aspx?collId=8)

I have a medium I was thinking of listing. I got it off the swap board, and it has - had - a big chip at the end of the darkest section. I found some acrylic paint that's just about an exact match, and built it up in layers to match the chip (Ficcare advised me that I should repair it, because leaving the end exposed would likely invite further damage). I then applied a few coats of clear nail polish to the acrylic patch. It isn't perfect; close up you can see little wrinkles in it where the layers contracted unevenly as they dried/hardened. But all the crystals are in place and extremely clean, and at normal action distance anyone peering closely enough at the clip to see the patch is probably too damn close.

If you want it, make me an offer.

P.S.: the reason I was thinking of listing it was not the chip or the repair, but simply that I like the antique silver/turquoise one better, and they compete for my attention when I'm wearing that sort of color.

You mean an offer for a swap or for purchase? :)

Ooops wendyg, just to make sure (have been burned before...): this is a silver clip, yes?
Thank you!
