The gentleman that I was getting my pigments from is moving and didn't want to move all his pigments, paints, and other small stuff. So he called me first to see if I wanted any of them.
Well, a friend of mine and I went in together and bought him out, he will be getting new stuff shipped to his new location.
The stuff was in 5 lb. containers, so we broke it down into Tbs. size bags and he showed it around where he works and the stuff is flying out the door. We have sold out of several colors and people want more.
We might work out an arrangment with the original guy to buy more through him.

Here are just some of the colors we have... I tried to get a pic from two different angles.

Neato. Is that brass powder at the bottom right? Are you selling on the sales forums here?

Sorry, it's not brass, it's a copper/orange color.
Wasn't planning to sell here, but might consider if interest is high enough. However, I've mentioned selling some of these on here before without much interest.

We've been getting $2.50 for a tablespoon which is equal to 3 teaspoons(teaspoons seem to be standard from suppliers) and it's moving fast.

These are just a portion of the colors. There are somewhere around 250 available. We didn't get that many, the guy doesn't stock that many of them since some are close in color, so he mixes his own to get the other colors.

What's that work out to in oz, so it can be compared to things like coastal scents, ArtStuf, and Pearl-Ex?

Looks good though. If I wasn't broke I might be interested.
 
One ounce is equal to 2 tablespoons.

Coastal scents varies on their oz. size. I seen anywhere from $3.95 - $5.75 per oz., but their sample size is still $1.00 for a teaspoon.

We're not trying to compete with anyone and I can't vouche for their products. The stuff we get is very high grade without fillers to bulk it up. Another nice thing with some of the colors... they are one of a kind, custom mixed by the original artist.
We might put some colors together and offer them as a package, but there still isn't enough interest at this point.
The people we have been selling to are very happy with the stuff and some have asked for larger quantities.

Sorry for the long answer.
 
I appreciate the details.

One-of-a-kind is actually a weakness from my standpoint. It is really cool when you get the color you love, but if you're looking for repeatability it can be a real PITA.
 
Does anyone know that the stuff is made of? I mean, clearly there's an array of chemicals required to cause the colours, but I suspect the raw materials (if we knew what they were) would be dirt cheap.
