UPDATE 7/21/12 - XL Dragonfly Flexi-8 and XL Celtic Cross Flexi-8 still available.
My cat, Maggie, got hurt very badly last week and spent the weekend in emergency care, and still has a surgery and some more hospitalization ahead. I'm selling my hairtoys to help pay for her (holy crap adding up) vet bills.
UPDATE: People have been very kind and concerned about Maggie's well being, so I've posted links to a couple of YouTube videos (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/showpost.php?p=2200640&postcount=15) from when I visited her at the vet yesterday, for those interested.

These devices are extremely durable. I've had these for at least 2, probably closer to 3 years, so the metal is not quite shiny-silver-new looking anymore, but other than that, the condition is exactly as they were when I bought them. You can throw them in your purse and they'll be just fine. The extra-large ones are [i]just[\i] big enough for a cinnabun or lazy wrap bum if I use the stick part like a hair stick and close the flexi part around it, and the small one is the right size for a half-up ponytail on my hair, or a ponytail on some people.

6 inches usable
These have been rarely used. The stones are beautiful - I think I gasped a little when I pulled them from the package. 6" is too long for me, though, which is why they've been rarely used. They are in perfect condition, exactly like new. He's not kidding about that Microgroove technology, either - it's a pretty neat texture, smooth enough not to catch the hair, but textured just so that it stays in place when you stick it.

New $39: http://www.etsy.com/transaction/39979590
This is perfectly waterproof, and absolutely beautiful. Very good condition - still shiny and new-looking. I've gotten several compliments on it. The shimmery dots and swirls are even prettier in person.

SOLD - Thank you! Rose's Butterfly Comb Replica (from the movie Titanic)
Asking: $30
New: not sure, I can't find a site selling them new anymore.
2.5 inches usable length (it can be stuck in a bit more than that if you cover up the bottom wings)
This is the butterfly comb that has been so popular on here. :) It is in very good condition, the only signs of wear are in between the tines where I've tried to smooth it out some with ultrafine sandpaper. It is best used for decorating an updo, in my experience, not so much for holding one up. Definitely pretty, though.

Asking: $37
New $45: https://www.etsy.com/transaction/22504097 (https://www.etsy.com/transaction/22504097)
4.5 inches across
5.5 inches each pin
This has been used only occasionally, however the metal has tarnished quite a bit, giving it a sort of vintage look. It is a very unique piece, and the shop where I bought it is closed until further notice. It's quite comfortable and very pretty. Allergy note: please note this does contain nickel.

SOLD - Thank you! Orna Lalo (http://www.lalo-treasures.com/) Hair Stick
Asking:$20
New: I have no idea
4.25 inches usable
about 5.25 inches total (sorry, forgot to measure this part)
I'm really not sure at all what this one ought to cost, since I don't see anything remotely like it on their webpage. Feel free to offer another amount. It's in great condition though, and while I've never worn it into the shower to check, it seems to be waterproof. It's really cute and reminds me of some sort of candy. Something to wear when you're feeling playful and cute (or would like to feel playful and cute! :p)
That's all for now - I haven't stopped running around like mad trying to get stuff taken care of for Maggie. My, but those vet bills add up. :scared:
I don't think I have any other toys to sell, but I'm going to take another look through my things and see if I've missed any I could sell (I think I'm keeping a couple of very utilitarian pieces, everything else that might be of value is going to help pay for Maggie).
