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. -- Kandice Seeber Air & Earth Designs http://www.lampwork.net 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!! -- Fran ~My eBay, if you'd like to visit: http://snipurl.com/56qt |

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. -- Kandice Seeber Air & Earth Designs http://www.lampwork.net LOL - I remember that! I must have been completely high if I was thinking about honestly doing wholesale. 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? -- Fran ~My eBay, if you'd like to visit: http://snipurl.com/56qt |

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. -Kalera http://www.beadwife.com http://www.snipurl.com/kebay Kandice Seeber wrote: LOL - I think it is "wholesaling". It's a weird word.

Yes. I think most beadmakers, especially here, are selling beads at or just
above whole sale. Tina "Kalera Stratton" wrote in message ... I recently had a hard look at my prices and decided that they are wholesale prices by nature.

Also, I couldn't drop my prices and live. 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...
