Hi Simon,

Are looking for BEROL specifically, or are there
colors of Berol Prismacolor you are looking for that
are acceptable?

I am asking because today at lunch I stopped by the
campus store at the Univ. of MN, and I saw a limited
supply of Berol Prismacolor that they had found in old
stock and put out for .98 a piece.

Seems to me the big change in color chemistry came
when they switched to Sandford Prismacolor, so maybe I
could find some colors for you from this old batch of
Berol Prismacolor.

Please let me know soon, as the supply is limited.

Jacki
