I am new to element collecting, and off to a good start. However easy it was to aquire most elements, I've now discovered how difficult and expensive it is to aquire the remaining few. I am hoping there are other collectors out there who might have extras they are willing to trade for since my funding has quickly run out. Also it seems the commercial chemical distributors do not sell to individuals. Any help or advice appreciated. Thanks!

Well, this is incredibly convenient. I'm in the exact same position!

As for my extras, I have Lead, Magnesium, Aluminum, Sulfur, Gold, Copper, Bismuth, Zinc, Carbon, Iron, Molybdenum(unsure) and Lithium.

I can make Helium, Argon, Chlorine, Silicon, very impure Sodium, Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Iodine.

Some great distributors I know are Metallium http://www.elementsales.com/ and United Nuclear http://unitednuclear.com/

Hope this helped.
