More Secrets to Buying Beads

In my last post, I mentioned some of the tricks that bead sellers use to make you think that you are getting a good deal. I mentioned that some sellers will marking up their beads so they can give you 50% off or call themselves wholesale and charge retail prices.

Another trick that sellers use is to sell the beads cheap and charge high shipping prices. You can especially see this on eBay auctions.

When you buy your bead supplies, calculate the real price with shipping included. Try to remember about what you paid before for similar items. The best way to get good prices on your beads is to compare with the price you paid before.

We started ONE Cent auctions on eBay last week and decided to charge the same shipping price as we charge for everything.
