I'm from the UK and have always found that the US has a lot more choice than we do on findings and beads, the problem with this is that sometimes places don't post over here or otherwise it is quite expensive, and when it gets here you incur import charges.
Or sometimes when I actually find something on a website its really expensive, I actually once found a really good site which had lots of selections but for the basic things were about 3 times the price of other places so I didn't bother.
I have decided to do something about this. My intention is set up a web site to sell beads and findings and end up with a good a selection as over in the US, and yet still be well priced.
I thought I'd start off small with just basic findings and then gradually expand. I was wondering if anyone had something that they find really difficult to buy in the UK. Basically its all very well me selling things that I would use but I also have to sell things that I might not use, or I might not have thought of!
Findings are easier obviously, but then again some people may use things that I don't. It'll be interesting when I start thinking about beads / pendants as other people have to like them as much as me!
So far I've got eyepins, headpins, jump rings, crimps, clasps, earring hooks, spacer bars, what I think are the basic findings. Anyone got anything that they would like sold that they have problems finding? Or just general ideas of what kind of things I should look at really!
Thank you!
