I've been experimenting with resin casting (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=41371.msg826550#msg826550) and metal casting caps (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=43217.0) for a while now. Recently, I've been trying to better document the results of different experiments (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=51973.msg1148351#msg1148351) to help other people interested in following into casting.
While my caps are still not perfect, in large part because I can't find an affordable pressure pot, they are now at a point where I'm happy with how my casts are turning out. I'm still experimenting with different materials, methods, and so on, but I decided it's time to sell some off to continue funding my experiments and, hopefully, a pressure pot at some point.
Each color is only done once. There are different permutations that can be done, but each color will only be done once outside of rare instances.

Comment in the thread which one(s) you want. First come, first serve. No PMs.
For the Geekhack donation caps, comment in the thread that you're taking it and after you make the donation, get a mod to confirm it. Once they confirm it will ship.
Add $5 for international shipping if paid as gift. More if paid as goods since Paypal requires tracking for seller protection. If you're buying one of the Geekhack donation caps internationally, I would ask that that small part of the additional cost come to me.
Shipping may be slower this time around since my new job is keeping me incredibly busy already.
Additional colors can be made to order, but will cost $1-2 more due to the fact that my darker dyes are much more fickle than the alcohol inks. I'm also working on the possibility of pearlescents, but those will cost more since the supplies costs more and they monopolize the mold for a substantially longer period of time.

- $10 shipped within the US
Recommended that the latter be used with water clear 2x3x4mm white LEDs since it's rather dark.
Both gone.
