From what I know about them, they form their thick trunk quickly and some times stem cuttings don't. However, type and flower color is mostly drab. They use seedlings to graft special kinds onto. It is very hit and miss, mostly miss to obtain a nice specimen. But knowing this, your chances are good to get one great one for every 8 normal ones. If you can grow a large amount of them, wait two to three years to see what you have, them have a buyer for the baulk for grafting stock. You will come out a winner. Grafting is one area I just can't seem to do. My touch seems to kill them. I have been showed and have tried many times only to fail each time.

What do you want for them? I can't do it this month because I'm very low on funds. Also I need to put a new ballast in one of my shop lights to be able to grow them.

I planning on ordering some more seeds off of ebay next month.
I'm thinking of ordering:
A caudex variety mix
A pachypodium variety mix

I'm really getting into plants that have caudexs.

Also I now have seedlings of the three dioscorea species I ordered seeds of. Hurray!

Adam,
Good luck and I would love to see the step by step progress.
Mine is at the stage to plant up in pots. Couldn't find pots cheap so I am going to plant them in 4 oz. plastic Dixie cups and have holes drilled in the bottoms.
