when i discover something bead-related and consider acquiring it 1. do i like it or find it fascinating -what made me notice it? 2. is it costly? (if its not a reasonably modest price i try to ignore it) 3. More important: will it add information about the whole topic of beads, as even if damaged it may show how its made, or what its threaded with may confirm where its from- and I'm definitely continuing my research for informing future generations... 4. if its neglected or underpriced (often the case in UK) then i have a duty to rescue it even if only for sharing with those who will appreciate it! 5. buying specifically for doing business.
