OK, any expert nem shoppers out there?

[bradleym]

I have been trying to find some specific nems for a long while now. One in particular is an all-blue maxi mini. I saw one on here for sale last december but it had already sold by the time I got to it. I decided I would get one if I found one. Well since then, I've developed an interest in all solid colored maxi minis, especially blue. So I have been patiently waiting for one and finally last week, I found another blue one at an online store. Mind you, this is the first solid ANY color I've seen for sale since last december.

I sent an email to the site owner because there was some confusion about the shipping, and it took 7 DAYS to get a reply. After the reply, I immediately placed my order. The next day, I was informed that the anemone had been sold earlier that week - WHILE I WAS WAITING FOR A REPLY!!!! They refunded my money but now I'm kinda fed up with being patient. Which brings me to you guys.

Here are some examples of anemones I would buy, within reason, if I ever had a chance. Are these rare? Or do you guys see these all the time on some mysterious site that I don't know of? I have literally only seen one EVER for sale, and well, you know how that went...

Any tips, suggestions, sites to haunt, etc. would be appreciated.

Oh and while I've got your ear, when will these hit mainstream? 2025? If you've got a source, I'm poor but saving... Just don't sell me this below. Been there, done that!

This is my solid color MMC nems...

Solid weird color :

Solid Orange and Solid Green and ALMOST solid blue(few white spot):

I got another one with the wierd yellow collor + a pink circle as pattern.

This is the blue one from a better angle...You can see the green one hiding behind the blue.

Pretty!

I'm trying to find some that are solid-colored including the rim, but I'm starting to think that's pretty rare.

How long have you had that first one?

More than 6 months

the rim of my green is the same color...Depend of the angle.

My two fluo yellow came from my LFS(Canada).

They came from a shipping from Bali

Ive seen green solid ones quite commonly, but not other colors that were solid ever.

 

[bradleym]

Interesting. I've seen 2 blue in the last 12 months but never a green. Any sites I should be frequenting?

[bradleym]

*sigh*

Bump because I just missed another blue one.

I found it at 1am, but it was double the price of the last one so I had to get approval from my better half in the morning. By the time we woke up it was off the site.

Not all blue but close.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm getting picky in my old age.

I'm trying to find solid colored ones because I'm trying to go for a "mini Haddoni" look.
