My BPAL + other e-tailers sale/swap post!
Hello, all! I'm maintaining a central sales post on my ElJay for ease of editing and keeping things in one place. I have bottles and imps, LE and GC, all sorts of goodies to be found, and I include freebies with every shipment! Links for each scent lead to the review section at bpal.org, and I do my best to include a notes list with the non-BPAL items. My feedback post is over here (with a link to my bpal.org feedback), and my wish list is right here.
Necessary Stuff: Shipping is $3.75 within the US (includes DC). Please buy at least $8.00 worth of stuff pre-shipping. LET ME KNOW if you want insurance; I will not be responsible for uninsured packages. I accept CC and non-CC PayPal, but PLEASE do mark your payment for goods and services. I very much appreciate that people want to save me PayPal fees, but I generate my US postage through there and have anxiety about them putting payments and shipments together and saying WAITACOTTONPICKINMINIT. X-D Plus, paying G&S keeps you eligible for PayPal Buyer Protection. If you feel flush enough to throw a little extra in for fees, I will gladly accept, but of course there's no requirement.
If label condition is a concern for any items, please let me know in your request. If you want to buy or swap but don't have or want to make a livejournal account, please either PM me on bpal.org (I'm karihan) or email me at karihan (dot) chris (at) gmail (dot) com.
FOR MY INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS: I will ship internationally, but please contact me for a quote. Since USPS has decided to raise its international rates so high, I've decided to offer two shipping options: One is for my usual sort of package, where I've added candies, teas, and other little extras. The other is for a package pared down to just the purchased items plus requested free sniffy. My free sniffies vary somewhat in weight; I'll let you know if the one you pick is heavier than the usual. I'll give you the total for each option and the difference between the two, so that you can decide whether you'd prefer the shipping savings or the extras.
NOTE ON BOTTLE FULLNESS: I measure the oil levels of my bottles in millimeters. For comparison, from bottom to where the shoulder starts on a standard BPAL bottle is 30mm and the neck starts at about 32mm. I include the to-neck measurement as well for any bottle that doesn't fit that measurement. For those who would rather not do math, I've also included an estimate of "how full" based on the mm measurement. If you'd like to see a photo of any of my items, let me know which ones and I'll be happy to provide. Of course I can also provide pictures of labels, if you want to see what state those are in.
Newly added items are in Bold.

NON-PERFUME ITEMS:As with my perfume oils, I am willing to consider swap and swap/sale offers for all these items, as well as other price suggestions. Shipping may vary according to the weight of the item, but I have a postage scale for accurate quotes. Books and magazines can be shipped via media mail if that's all you're getting. PM me or email karihan (dot) chris (at) gmail (dot) com if you have any questions or would like additional pictures. ^_^
Coiling Gizmo with project booklet, $12.00: The Coiling Gizmo makes forming tightly-wound coils of wire for jewelry easy! You can use it either held in one hand or clamped to a table with a C-clamp to have both hands free. The included booklet, "Coiled Wire Beads & Jewlery," gives easy-to-follow directions for using the Gizmo to make many kinds of coiled beads, beaded beads, fiber-wrapped beads, wire-wrapped beads, coiled spring links and other coil shapes, as well as showing how to assemble your creations into finished pieces of jewelry. I even plan to make coiled-wire Christmas decorations this year. ^_^
Fabulous Florals, $3.00: This Design Originals booklet gives complete instructions for making 10 sparkling floral necklaces and 2 brooches out of wire, glass beads, pearls and crystals.

BEAD & BUTTON MAGAZINES, $2.50 each or take all 8 for $15.00: I wound up with duplicates of several of my beloved B&B mags, so I'm passing them along. I have #14 (June '96), #15 (Oct '96), #17 (Feb '97), #25 (June '98), #26 (Aug '98), #27 (Oct '98), #28 (Dec '98), and #37 (June 2000). Great magazines for beginners to learn from or for advanced crafters to get ideas! Click here for photos of each individual magazine.
SCENT BOTTLE PENDANT, $50.00 obo: I bought a unakite and sterling silver scent bottle pendant from Offerings Jewelry some months ago, but I've never worn it. It is 3 inches (7.5cm) from the top of the bail to the bottom tip of the bottle. The other stones are a moonstone and a mother-of-pearl flower with a peridot center. Offering's stamp "sajen" and a sterling silver stamp show on the back band. The sterling cap is a little loose, but the unakite cap fits snugly. Click on the pics to see full-size versions:
I paid $50 originally. For that price, I will include a necklace to wear it on, either a sterling snake chain or a beaded strand of my own creation to match, design details to be worked out with the purchaser, plus a set of matching earrings! I can also include the pendant, with or without necklace, in a swap or swap/sale. If you'd like to see a few other strands of beads I've strung, you can check them out here and here.

Earlier posts were on sinandsalvation and alchemylab.
I pride myself on good communication and good results, so please contact me if you have any questions. And I do enjoy giving little extra goodies, tea, soaplets, candies and the like. ^_^ If there's anything in that line you would rather not get, just let me know.
Necessary Stuff: Shipping is $3.75 within the US (includes DC). Please buy at least $8.00 worth of stuff pre-shipping. LET ME KNOW if you want insurance; I will not be responsible for uninsured packages. I accept CC and non-CC PayPal, but PLEASE do mark your payment for goods and services. I very much appreciate that people want to save me PayPal fees, but I generate my US postage through there and have anxiety about them putting payments and shipments together and saying WAITACOTTONPICKINMINIT. X-D Plus, paying G&S keeps you eligible for PayPal Buyer Protection. If you feel flush enough to throw a little extra in for fees, I will gladly accept, but of course there's no requirement.
If label condition is a concern for any items, please let me know in your request. If you want to buy or swap but don't have or want to make a livejournal account, please either PM me on bpal.org (I'm karihan) or email me at karihan (dot) chris (at) gmail (dot) com.
FOR MY INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS: I will ship internationally, but please contact me for a quote. Since USPS has decided to raise its international rates so high, I've decided to offer two shipping options: One is for my usual sort of package, where I've added candies, teas, and other little extras. The other is for a package pared down to just the purchased items plus requested free sniffy. My free sniffies vary somewhat in weight; I'll let you know if the one you pick is heavier than the usual. I'll give you the total for each option and the difference between the two, so that you can decide whether you'd prefer the shipping savings or the extras.
NOTE ON BOTTLE FULLNESS: I measure the oil levels of my bottles in millimeters. For comparison, from bottom to where the shoulder starts on a standard BPAL bottle is 30mm and the neck starts at about 32mm. I include the to-neck measurement as well for any bottle that doesn't fit that measurement. For those who would rather not do math, I've also included an estimate of "how full" based on the mm measurement. If you'd like to see a photo of any of my items, let me know which ones and I'll be happy to provide. Of course I can also provide pictures of labels, if you want to see what state those are in.
Newly added items are in Bold.

NON-PERFUME ITEMS:As with my perfume oils, I am willing to consider swap and swap/sale offers for all these items, as well as other price suggestions. Shipping may vary according to the weight of the item, but I have a postage scale for accurate quotes. Books and magazines can be shipped via media mail if that's all you're getting. PM me or email karihan (dot) chris (at) gmail (dot) com if you have any questions or would like additional pictures. ^_^
Coiling Gizmo with project booklet, $12.00: The Coiling Gizmo makes forming tightly-wound coils of wire for jewelry easy! You can use it either held in one hand or clamped to a table with a C-clamp to have both hands free. The included booklet, "Coiled Wire Beads & Jewlery," gives easy-to-follow directions for using the Gizmo to make many kinds of coiled beads, beaded beads, fiber-wrapped beads, wire-wrapped beads, coiled spring links and other coil shapes, as well as showing how to assemble your creations into finished pieces of jewelry. I even plan to make coiled-wire Christmas decorations this year. ^_^
Fabulous Florals, $3.00: This Design Originals booklet gives complete instructions for making 10 sparkling floral necklaces and 2 brooches out of wire, glass beads, pearls and crystals. The necklaces use twisted or braided wire to give the effect of vines suspending leaves, buds and flowers. Lovely and endlessly customizable!
BEAD & BUTTON MAGAZINES, $2.50 each or take all 8 for $15.00: I wound up with duplicates of several of my beloved B&B mags, so I'm passing them along. I have #14 (June '96), #15 (Oct '96), #17 (Feb '97), #25 (June '98), #26 (Aug '98), #27 (Oct '98), #28 (Dec '98), and #37 (June 2000). Great magazines for beginners to learn from or for advanced crafters to get ideas! Click here for photos of each individual magazine.
SCENT BOTTLE PENDANT, $50.00 obo: I bought a unakite and sterling silver scent bottle pendant from Offerings Jewelry some months ago, but I've never worn it. It is 3 inches (7.5cm) from the top of the bail to the bottom tip of the bottle. The other stones are a moonstone and a mother-of-pearl flower with a peridot center. Offering's stamp "sajen" and a sterling silver stamp show on the back band. The sterling cap is a little loose, but the unakite cap fits snugly. Click on the pics to see full-size versions:
I paid $50 originally. For that price, I will include a necklace to wear it on, either a sterling snake chain or a beaded strand of my own creation to match, design details to be worked out with the purchaser, plus a set of matching earrings! I can also include the pendant, with or without necklace, in a swap or swap/sale. If you'd like to see a few other strands of beads I've strung, you can check them out here and here.
