Well, thank you, VJ!
I do very much enjoy selling direct, but who knows... someday I may want to change my direction. -Kalera vj wrote: vj found this in rec.crafts.beads, from Kalera Stratton : ]if I get what I need to ] make for a bead, the end customer is charged *twice* what I think the ]bead's worth! can i say [without it sounding wrong] then it's my belief one of two things might be "wrong". if you get what you need for the bead from a shop owner, then the price the customer is charged in a retail outlet IS what it is worth. if you're not thinking that way . . . maybe you need to readjust your perspective - UP? if you see what i mean? otoh, one reason i prefer to buy from web sites is that i'm more comfortable that way - i know what the maker thinks the bead is worth, and if i can afford it when i see it, it's a done deal. auctions make me VERY uneasy, because i would not insult an artist deliberately for anything. otooh, there are so many i would love to have, and i'm always afraid if i don't snatch it up right then and there, i'll never get another chance [witness TINK!] ----------- @vicki [SnuggleWench] (Books) http://www.booksnbytes.com (Jewelry) http://www.vickijean.com newest creations: http://www.vickijean.com/newest.html ----------- The measure of the menace of a man is not what hardware he carries, but what ideas he believes.-- Jeff Jordan |
