Any Feedback?

[Juanita Floyd]

I'm a little curious. I posted an ad for my auctions which did include some
lampwork this time. Is anyone out there looking, or have I been missing
something? I guess I thought someone would scarf up the dichroic beads at
least. Are the prices too high???

At least I have a BIN customer for the poly stuff. Even if she waits 3 weeks to
pay. :0) Kind of throws me a curve. I thought BIN meant PAY for it NOW too.
Guess not. Oh well. Guess I'll be hauling stone for the driveway myself since I
won't be able to pay anyone at this rate.

Tootles,

Hi Juanita.

Have you tried a neutral background for your scans? I think the pattern
might be taking away from the detail of your beads and masking the sparkling
property of glass. I can't say about the prices because I don't know
dichro.

Just a thought.

Thanks for the input folks. I had a neutral background and then everyone said
it was too plain. I used to have payment instructions on my auctions and people
said I had too many rules. So I guess the bottom line is you can't please any
of the people any of the time these days. I give up.

Adios,
Juanita

Juanita, I do have a few of your beads. They are well executed, and I like
them very much. They are also more than reasonably priced. My only problem
with your work is that the palette that comes naturally to you, is not a
good one for me. I don't think you should change though. I think you
should work with what you like best.

Also, it seems to me that you've changed your format because it downloads
faster now. I have had problems getting your auctions to download quickly,
since the pipe is not available to me. Is your text actually text or is it
a picture of text? I don't know why it takes so long to download.

Come to think of it, the cermics and the bees would be ideal for e-stores.

Me neither unfortunately. We were saving money for a new bed after our old
mattress started pranging us in the bum! Then yesterday we got a quote for
renewing the insurance on the car and it has absolutely shot up - so now we
have to sell the car and get one that's cheaper to insure... (premiums are
ouchy when you're 22, had the misfortune to have a crash recently *and*
drive a 2litre Ford Granada (aka "The Tank"), so I gotta change the only one
of those factors I can...)

I do love your beads, and I think how you list them is great (especially
love the bigger pics lower down - I like being able to see every little
detail). Once I can afford it no doubt I will be buying plenty from you and
others on here...

[marisa2]

Jaunita,

I guess I'm just agreeing with everyone else...

You know I love your stuff, but I haven't been able to sell anything I made
and am in fact selling off materials myself now. Based on what people have
said here and on how other sellers seemed to (not) be doing at the show I
was at a few weeks ago, I'm guessing it's not just me.

So, I guess we all have to wait until the economy picks up.... not that I
think you should stop making things! (I'm not...trying to come up with more
different ideas on how to make and sell stuff.)

I love my Bead Bucks jar, Juanita. No one else does them, or if they do, they
don't compare. I think that the suggestion of putting them (and the other
containers.. I know not everyone loves beads...at least there are two or three
people that don't) and the buggies in a store front is a good one. You can set
your prices where you want them, and you don't have to list and relist.

Well I like the dichroic beads (especially the colors), but the
"free-formish" ones (non- smooth, wavy things - the 22mm and 26mm ones)
aren't my style.

Good-luck!!

Kathy K - who is still catching up on posts!
