Funny story ... I ordered some more of those glass animal beads everyone loves from a guy on ebay. Turns out he's getting out of the biz so he shipped me a 17-pound box of many kinds of beads! They are wonderful, but I can't use that many beads in 10 lifetimes. So, I will be offering LARGE lots of these beads, BIG variety including pink-ribbon (breast cancer) beads, millefiore and other glass, coin-shaped, all sorts of variety.

Thanks, these would work really well with the native american stuff. They are nice large unusually chunky chips. Sorry about the typing, using a mini laptop, an old one I got at an auction. Works great but I hate mini keyboards. Writing these comments is taking me forever ... probably wait until I get home to write more ...

ooh these too! ? ? ? ? ? ? ? lol!

Feb 19th, 2010 at 7:30:51 PM PST by

Oh yeah ... still got a few more stone chips to list, but for this week I think this is QUITE enough for everyone to absorb ...

Feb 20th, 2010 at 4:34:22 PM PST by

yes they would, had a few but used them all up already.=)
Still working on some items this weekend to post by Monday. Beading on the loom is very fast, just need to keep count LOL or it won't look right. Well, I hope to hear from you soon...

Feb 20th, 2010 at 6:25:39 AM PST by

I just got back from my trip and am trying to catch up, but I'll check in with your auctions, can't wait to see!

Feb 20th, 2010 at 4:35:06 PM PST by

good to see you made it home safely... Thanks, just put a few up and checking to see what else I can find. still working on the loom. Taking a bit longer than I thought.. So much things to do and then work on beading. =0 Talk to you soon. =)

They are cool, but can I offer a little advice? Start your bids at an odd number, and start them low. If you can get people with under 50 credits to get the bidding started, the people with more credits to spend will take notice that other people have already bid. Also, offer free shipping, honestly you'll get TONS more bids. I know it stinks to pay for the shipping, but small things can be shipped with three stamps (I actually bought $1 and 28cent stamps to ship small packages). You get it back when you win things with free shipping. Hope this helps ...

souds good ,will do Thank you

Feb 20th, 2010 at 6:45:29 PM PST by

Good luck, it's a lot of work but you can get better results once you have the routine down.

Feb 20th, 2010 at 7:04:19 PM PST by

yes, I'm getting the hang of it a little bit. Will keep working at it and with your help I know I will do good. Thank you for everything. =)

Your auctions look good, but unfortunately most Listia members won't bid on small items that do not have free shipping. I understand why you don't want to do that, but the problem is that if you do get some bids, your nice things will go for so little it may not be worth the effort. At least with free shipping you can get a lot more credits. It's really an investment. I've probably spent close to $200 in stamps in the past month (I ship a LOT of stuff), but just this week won several very nice pieces of gold and precious stone jewelry, worth a lot more than what I've paid in shipping. So, you have to put it in to perspective and look at the long-term benefits.

Nancy, you are so right. You have to spend some on shipping to get the points for nice things. I won't get most things that charge me shipping.

Feb 25th, 2010 at 12:22:20 PM PST by

It's kind of a long-term investment. Pay for shipping now, and try to win things with enough value (to you) to make up for it. That's kind of where I'm at. Listia is really fun, but I'm doing it to try to earn something of value for all my effort. The things I'm giving away don't matter to me, because they would be too difficult to sell for the $$$ amount they are worth. Listia gives the little unwanted things a whole new level of value, which is nice!

I really like these to go with a snow obsidian dangle that I bought. The only problem I'd have is that it's a chip, not to downgrade the beauty. A smoky quartz bead or 50, on the other hand, would be PERFECT.

Feb 25th, 2010 at 7:46:53 PM PST by

The problem with larger beads in these types of materials is that they are REALLY expensive. I'm sure they vary in price depending on the quality and cuts of the stone, but it must be expensive to cut stones into shapes for beads. These chips aren't that cheap either, but are probably leftover from some sort of process that creates the chip shards, and all they have to do is drill holes in them. Shaping stones into beads MUST be labor intensive!

Feb 25th, 2010 at 8:53:50 PM PST by

I can see that. The good stuff is seldom cheap. Sometimes a person gets lucky, right? Hehe My "Snow Obsidian Project" will probably take a while to find the right pieces.

I haven't really shipped beads in a long time, but I bought some large amethyst nugget beads, love them, but have tried to use them multiple times and am just never happy with the design. I think five of them cost about $20, on ebay. I've got a couple people from craigslist interested in the beads I have for sale, so maybe I'll get a little cash out of them and go shopping for some really high-end beads (or maybe just put the money in my drawer and save it for a rainy day).

Feb 26th, 2010 at 6:00:46 AM PST by

I meant "shopped" beads, not shipped .... sheesh!

Feb 26th, 2010 at 6:01:02 AM PST by

Nice and very beautiful. You are right. Most folks want bid unless it's free. That doesn't save you any money but it does cost you in shipping and they don't understand how it works. All your auctions are super great auctions. Super seller.

Feb 26th, 2010 at 7:07:20 AM PST by

It's an investment. I'm winning things that are worth more than the shipping I've paid for ... just have to keep your eye on the long-term!
