    Default Rod,Knuckles, GTT Yellow Jacket

    Hey Guys! I've been cleaning up my shop and getting rid of some stuff I don't need/use, and i found some color and a torch i wouldn't mind getting rid of. I have two mixed pounds of rods, and some knuckles. Each of the pounds of rod is a little over, and contains colors like unobtanium, Lokis Lipstick, Steel Wool, Lucy, Blu V, paramore white, Paramore Siberia, Exp Green #5, Mystery Adventurine, ect. I tried to make sure it was all color someone would actually want to use.

    Knuckles: GA Old school cadmium red, encased on both sides with simax. The green transparent is probably GA Crippy, unencased. The blue/red/green sparkly one is a GA Superfly knuckle, the yellow and white knuckles are northstar serendipity, the blue knuckle is Boro Batch daves blues over raw honey (which is basically amber purple), the strikey looking knuckles are raw honey over jackpot (so it's kind of like baller tech/alien tech). The strikey looking knuckles when held in hand look candy apple orange/yellow. You only see the strike in photos with flash. The blue and strikey looking knuckles are pulled by Taffy and already SUPER consistent. I have more of them than are in this picture. I also uploaded a pic of some of the blue knuckles after being worked by my shopmate on a CC.

    Torch: taking offers on an unused (It's just been fired once to test, no glass melted), all stainless GTT Yellow Jacket. It's the newest face design. I picked this torch up after waiting for 4 years, and i haven't ever gotten around to using it. The job i bought it for, I no longer do. Comes with ~5ft of additional hose on the lines, and the hook for hanging it up.

    Rods: 50/lb
    Knuckles: 15/each for the GA, 40/lb for the Northstar, 50/lb for the Taffy Tubes
    Yellow Jacket: Taking offers.

    Shipping on you, fees on me. Thanks TalkGlass

    I've had a million people hit me up and say they would take it for $450, but I'm trying to get $550 out of it. I think that's pretty fair to avoid the massive wait time, as this is the only torch GTT still takes forever on.

    I’d sell it to them. The last hand torches I got from them I waited two months. Also had a custom made cheetah with mirage outter fire made in less than two months. I’ll pay pull retail from gtt plus shipping if they back out lmk

    That's pretty cool, but with the yellow jackets, they only complete one run a year still. As soon as this is no longer true, the introductory price of $395 will become $450. +$35 for the hook = as soon as these are being regularly produced, it'll be $485 before shipping. It's possible your hand torches came faster because they are based on bench burners, which have been being produced more quickly. I'd be willing to go as low as $500 + shipping for a TMP member, but even at $450, I don't make back the cost of the torch, hook, my shipping, and the extra lines being attached, and I have seen these things go for over 600, so I know i canat least recoup every dollar i have in it. I'd just rather see a quick sale as opposed to waiting a month to find a buyer in that price range.

    Sorry guys, forgot to post that the torch sold! (for quite a bit more than $450 ). Looking at the post, i realize the picture with most of the knuckles didn't upload, I'll add another pic in a couple of hours.

    Sorry guys, forgot to come back and post a better pic of the knuckles. Left side is Daves Blues over Raw Honey *Like the small worked piece in the post above* and the right is Raw Honey over Jackpot, which comes out kind of like alien/baller tech. It's hard to see in the pic, but the tubing blings like crazy in the light!

    EDIT: Forgot the picture
