Default Help locating a thread?

LOL - I remember that! I must have been completely high if I was thinking
about honestly doing wholesale. Hmmmm - I totally don't remember what the
name of that thread was though. Perhaps you can just search for threads
started by me? I don't know.

Hiyas,
There was a recent thread on the issue of wholesaling...
"recent" as in the past month-couple of months. I believe
Kandice started that thread, and I remember it was jam
packed with all kinds of good info! Does anyone remember
the title, and could you pass it along so I can Google it?

Thank you *very* much!!

LOL - I think it is "wholesaling". It's a weird word.
Yes, I decided after that thread that wholesaling just wasn't a
possibility - especially lately. If I was backed up for a month on retail
orders, I can't imagine how many orders I would get if I did wholesale
prices. I already had a discount up for orders of $300 or more. People
have used that a lot.
I totally understand that for some artists wholesaling works, but not for
me.

Oh, good grief... did I type "wholesaling" in my previous
post?? That doesn't look right! What is it,
"wholesaleing?" Phhh, that doesn't look right, either!
Wholesale-ing? I give up!

Anyway, I know what you mean, Kandice! It just seems like
a losing proposition in my case... and I gather in yours,
too, huh?

I recently had a hard look at my prices and decided that they are
wholesale prices by nature. I make beads for designers, I sell to
designers, I really don't expect anyone but designers to buy my work,
and my beads are priced so that designers can make a profit, therefore I
am essentially a wholesaler. Also, I couldn't drop my prices and live.

Yes. I think most beadmakers, especially here, are selling beads at or just
above whole sale.

ditto - which is why when people ask me to "discount" - I just explain that my
profit margin is very small....
if I were making a whopper profit - that would be retail pricing - but I am
selling at a VERY LOW margin (less than 20% when I finish at the end of the
year, after expenses, etc)

yes - that's right LESS Than 20% - so those of you who buy beads should keep
that in mind - people on ebay who are selling lampwork (and I don't mean .99
starting sale prices - for promotional purposes AT ALL - I mean ending prices
of $1 and $2 for what should be $5 to $10 beads) are not making a profit -
period... they are doing it for the fun of it...
