Yes it is my first and probably only crane. I have not even seen one IRL. When I told Dh he's like...sell it you can make some money and buy more beads...he saw it sold for $685 on the auction site.
I was like....shut up you stupid man....crane is staying right here with me!

ha ha ha! I hope to be as lucky as you! Thanks for sharing! What a find!

So happy for you! You have lived our wildest dreams! Your excitement is so palpable in your post. I think that I would have passed out on seeing all those beads, been carried out and missed out on them, having alerted the store to their value.

WOW I'm totally green with envy here.

I think a tutorial on troll hunting is required.

Are these stores all LDs that are listed on the troll site? How do you know which unlisted stores even carry troll?

I don't know if any of the really old beads even made it to Aus stores.

Huge Congratulations, what a thrill....

Canada seems to be the land of the forgotten Trollbead treasures!

When I first started collection Trollbeads I found an on-line Canadian shop that some "old" stock photos (of beads that had retired). When I contacted them about the "Old Earth" they said, sorry we don't have that one anymore but we have Red Armadillos, Sea grass, Lavender bud..what else are you looking for?

OMG what did you get that day?????
