I have mixed feelings about that whole thread. On the one hand, the
intentions are good, I am sure. The people are mostly nice, hardworking and
well-intentioned. On the other hand, price fixing is illegal and annoying.
I agree about pricing your things in such a way that it mirrors value and
hard work. However, I don't agree with a huge group governing that, or
trying to control things. But I am pretty anti-government, so maybe it's
just that. Or maybe it's because I haven't had my coffee yet today, and
I am cranky.



I've never believed in price fixing or a group governing prices... but I
don't think this is what they are getting at. I think the whole thrust of
the thread is pricing which reflects the value of the beads.. the worth of
them - not only to the beader/artist but also to the customer. For
example, if I purchase something for nix, then it's not worth much to me..
whereas if I purchase something for a reasonable price then it becomes
more valuable/precious to me. Hence, I will take more care with it etc,
etc...

Blah, blah, blah... Hope that all makes sense
