looked at several of his auctions in the past, but have never bid.) Thanks!!!! Katie |

Why?
the person may be selling low- end jewelry and the cost per bead is in their budget. They certainly have an adequate photo to judge whether or not they can use the beads for their designs.... Definitely not "high end" lampwork, but if that is what they buyer is looking for - why would it "make you sad?" Cheryl |

Why?
~~~~~~~ I think you must've missed the millions (yes, MILLIONS! haw) of conversations we've had here about Mr. Hamilton, Cheryl. ****** ****** ******** - why would it "make you sad?" ~~~~~~~~~~~ Because the person who wins that auction is going to get *way* substandard beads (no matter what they may look like) for a **big** sum of money, and that's sad. |

He passes off poor quality Chinese lampwork as 'artisan-made'. The
beads in that auction are worth about $25, maybe. ---------- Barbara www.penguintrax.com eBay & Justbeadsenguintrax 0 /O\ Nurturing doesn't end at birth: breastfeed, co-sleep, babywear.

Wow.
I always wondered why every one of his sets seems to have the same designs, just in different colors, but then I just figured that he'd hit upon a combination that was easy for him to make and was appealing to his target audience. Glad to know. If I'm gonna drop $$$ on lampwork, I want to know I am supporting the artist.... heck, I think I've helped build room additions for some....... LOL!!!! katie Barbara Forbes-Lyons wrote: He passes off poor quality Chinese lampwork as 'artisan-made'.

Because they misprepresent the beads as being handmade and annealed by them
when they are imported unannealed lampwork, and because this seller has exhibited unscrupulous business practices, including copyright infringement (of text) many times. They're dishonest. -- Kandice Seeber www.lampwork.net Why? the person may be selling low- end jewelry and the cost per bead is in their budget.
