Why isn't it, SBK...Softballkid said:Eh, not totally true Kwillers![]()
kwillia said:Why isn't it, SBK...It is no different than Mary Kay or Avon or the candles or the homemade gourmet products, etc. There is a huge mark-up on each item so that the immediate seller gets some profit, as does the the immediate seller's "boss" and so on all the way to the manufacturer. That means that the product's actual true value is much, much less. That's the way folks can make a living selling the stuff. It's no big deal as long as there is a market for it... what is an overpriced piece of costume jewerly to one person may be well worth the price to someone else... that is how free marketing works, SBK.

Its actually some nice looking stuff, and if your on a tight budget, and cant afford G&H's 5 grand necklace you want, chances are premier has something close to it looks wise, for alot cheaper price...but still good quality...
Thats what I was getting at...
PM Otter... he buys stuff for Catt all the time.cdsulhoff said:My problem is who would I sell it to.
There is nothing wrong with costume jewelry. Sometimes it can completely make an outfit go from so-so to yowzaa. My point was that for so many people to get a piece of the profit pie... you can imagine the mark-up.jazz lady said:I bought a few pieces from a former coworker and I have to agree it's overpriced and not high quality although some of it is rather pretty. :shrug:
No, I wasn't saying there was anything wrong with it but for the price, you can go to the local retailer and get the same sort of stuff at a much lower price. Believe me, I have lots of costume jewelry.kwillia said:There is nothing wrong with costume jewelry. Sometimes it can completely make an outfit go from so-so to yowzaa.
