Comments: |
When I purchased these beads, I must have been in a fog because I paid an extraordinarily high price for them, much higher than I'm usually willing to pay. Consequently, I have to make my own price much higher than usual (and even so, I am not taking my usual markup). I don't think that these beads are so remarkable that the supplier should have charged so much for them; obviously, they were just charging what they could get away with. I cheated on the picture. Years ago I sold beads that I called "burnt umber"; those beads were darker and redder. So I shifted the color of that picture, and lightened it, and got this picture. However, it came out really well, and I don't think that it would have been any better if I had taken a new picture from scratch. |

Caleb's notes: |
I got four mass, but I should have gotten five mass to get the discount. I must not have been thinking. Also, I didn't notice that the beads were extraordinarily expensive. |
