Out of curiosity, can someone tell me what GB was selling for when it was
readily on the market?

Here in NY, it was going for $45 for 50lbs before Ceramic Supply took
it off the market.

65 cents / pound

I posted 5# on EBAY just to see what people might be willing to pay. It s=
old
for about $5/#. I've got a 100# stash and won't sell anymore.

I don't fault anyone for the foresight to buy a truckload of GB and now
attempt to make a profit, I just don't see ClayArt as the place to do it.
One post to the list should have been adequate. Paid advertising is
available in all the ceramics magazines.

There are major suppliers and authors on the list, they occasionally post
new products or new books, and people selling equipment they no longer
needed, but not the same "advertisement" daily.

maybe I'm just a bit jealous, maybe I'm just tired of seeing ClayArt used=
as
a profit center
