My Dear Pal Rosanna, I simply enjoy the process of seeing beautiful things. And love to meet others who have an artistic eye too. Even if I were to maximize the price of cheap items, the profit is pennies. And I don't enjoy dealing in volume. The Chinese dealer's ebay logo is: "The meager profit but high turnover, good faith management!" To me, the dealer's sales pitch seems humble, curious and amusing. If I were to try to maximize the profit on the carnelian and aventurine, I might eventually make three or four dollars. Better beads are more fun; I prefer to pay $30. and sell for $35. -than to pay .30¢ and sell for $3.00 The bead business is a good business; but only if you enjoy the process.
