Lovely! I tried to do a roller set for the first time ever with flex rods this weekend and it did not turn out so well. I didn't have access to a hooded dryer but all the tuts I read/watched stated that letting your hair air-dry overnight is sufficient. Well, 9 hours later my hair was still slightly damp. 
I think I would need closer to 12-15 hours for my hair to fully dry.

flexirods take much longer to dry because there is no ventilation!

I bought mine a while back. I got the white ones and the pink ones. I had contacted a seller on Alibaba, and she contacted me maybe a year ago about selling the rollers on eBay. I saw she only had those few packages, and I jumped on them. They set me back a pretty penny.
ETA: this is the eBay seller I bought mine from myworld.ebay.com/candsilva/
Seems like she only sold those few packages.

I had recently gotten my tax return check, so that's why I put out for them. I think they were $30 or 35 a pack plus shipping. I just figured I wouldn't see them again.
I like them for when I have lots of ng. They do help to stretch and straighten my ng so that I don't have to put additional heat on my hair. These rollers (or at least the ones I received) had extra plastic bits that I cut off and seams. I worry about what that does to my hair. I can't figure out how to use end papers, but I think mesh end papers might fix that.
If you plan on selling any other sizes, I'd be game to buy those.
ETA: Make sure you have space for storage! Since these rollers taper in the middle and have those "nubbins," these rollers won't fit inside each other. I used to store my rollers separated by type, but now I put my red plastic mesh inside these.

I don't use end wraps at all. I cannot figure those things at all! It already takes me long enough to set my hair without trying to use them. I figure the mesh type would be able to let the nubbins still have contact with the hair, since that is what I think gets the hair so smooth.
