Hi. My first post to this NG. Searching the web for wholesale Swarovski Rhinestones, Crystal, 20SS, Flatbacks, the kind used on sandals/flip flops. Anyway, After a couple of hours browsing sites offerring these for sale, I have come to the conclusion that the wholesale cost is around 5 to 9 cents per stone. As a newbie, just hoping to get some insight into what I should be considering (besides price), if anything, when ordering these. Found only one site offering 96 pcs at $4.72 (5 cents ea). That is the best deal I found

I know nothing about any of these dealers, so one name means as much to me as another; so price is all I have to go on right now. Another site

has them at 720 pcs for $48.75 (7 cents ea). Anyway, just looking to leverage the experience of this NG. Maybe there is some secret source that few know about, and paying anything above 4 cents is for ignorant newbies. Who knows? TIA.
