There is no time like now to begin collecting trollbeads. With the economy in the state it is, Lund Trading, the US distributor for Trollbeads has seen phenomenal growth this last year! We all know how highly collectible the retired Trollbeads can be. All of these were once in the line and sold for $21 to $35. I’ve seen retired Trollbeads hit auction sites and sell from$50 to ove $400! It has been over a year since any beads were retired and a new retirement list could come out at anytime. Customers ask what they should buy and I always can offer just this advice: Buy what you love and what you can afford. All the retired beads go up in value. The ones with the most demand seem to be the most hard to find and the most desirable. Food for thought from the Trollbeads Trail.
