Default Lot 24 (Relisted) - 1000 Tungsten Beads and 120 Shrimp Backs

Although this lot reached the reserve price of £100, the winning bidder, Cumbrian, thinks that the item can raise more money than £100 for the Childrens Hospice. Brian has very kindly offered to put the item back up with his winning bid as the starting price. Brians support for this charity over the last two years has been nothing short of superb and this is another very generous gesture from him again. And thats before the rugby gear is auctioned Brian!!!

This item is a fantastic donation made by Toby (aka WCB) at Funky Fly Tying. Many thanks for this Toby, really appreciate it mate!

This lot consists of one packet of each of the following bead. These are the finest quality heaviest Tungsten beads available today.

All are packs of 20 beads apart from the Tungsten Shrimpbacks which are in packs of 10

Tungsten Beads

Gold 2mm,2.5mm,3mm,3.5mm,4mm
Silver 1.5mm,2mm,2.5mm,3mm
Copper 1.5mm,2mm,2.5mm,3mm
Black 1.5mm,2mm,2.5mm,3mm
Natural 1.5mm,2mm,2.5mm,3mm,3.5mm,4mm
Hot Orange 2mm,2.5mm,3mm,3.5mm,4mm
Hot Red 2mm,2.5mm,3mm,3.5mm,4mm
Hot Pink 1.5mm,2mm,2.5mm,3mm
Pale Pink 1.5mm,2mm,2.5mm,3mm
Anodized Pink 1.5mm,2mm,2.5mm
Anodized Bug Brown 1.5mm,2mm,2.5mm
Anodized Insect Green 1.5mm,2mm,2.5mm

ShrimpBacks

Anodized Pink xs,s,med
Anodized Bug Brown xs,s,med
Anodized Insect green xs,s,med
Natural xs,s,med

All together there are 1000 Tungsten beads and 120 Shrimpbacks

This package is worth over £250 and is heavy enough to sink a battleship!!

If need be, Toby could supply more of one size and colour of bead but the price is for 1000 beads and 120 shrimpbacks

This would be a great item for anyone who ties a lot of flies or to split between a group of friends

This auction will close at 21:00 (forum time) on 3rd June 2010

We already have a starting bid of £100 from Cumbrian. Any increase on this for the Childrens Hospice?

Default Splitting the number

With regard to Toby's post, if anyone would like to split the beads/shrimp backs with myself on a mutually agreed basis then I would be happy to have a bidding partner.

PM me if you are interested.
