AD: Bali Silver at $.50/gr

Yep, the role of the wholesaler is evaporating. Many manufacturers are selling small amounts directly to consumers at only slightly more per gram than I had to pay while buying giant amounts.

That's too bad, Marilee. :( We could always reply on the quality of your Bali silver. Best wishes for the future, whatever you decide to do! :)

Ahhhh - that makes sense, then. Are you going to try another on-line endeavor that we should know about?

I haven't been able to think of anything yet, but if I do, and it's bead-related, I'll let the group know. If it's not bead-related, I'll email you. :)

Well, it's a good deal for consumers willing to buy 100-200gr at a time and pay the shipping. It's just not such a good deal for wholesalers.
