the ever elusive crane bead

Hello Trollbead veterans,
My obsession is relatively recent (only since last summer), but I'm just dying to get a crane bead. It has a lot of personal significance for me, and I'm just heart-sick that it seems to be practically impossible to find. This may be a hopelessly naive question, and many of you may laugh at it/me, but do you happen to have any tips for me?
With many thanks in advance for any help.

Good luck M. That is my all time favorite bead, and also the first one I ever bought. I will keep an eye out for you, but you might ought to be sure the credit card is paid down...LOL They are not cheap!
