Hi Christine,
I don't doubt what you say, in concept. However, you seem to be not getting the gist of it.
Whether these beads were seen (by you or anyone) in Mauritania, they came to the US out of Mali. (This demonstrates my admonition that beads travel from Mauritania to Mali, if that is what happened.) No one said they "originated in Mali."
In point of FACT, these beads DID sell for less than an expected Mauritanian price. Your explanation doesn't say why nor how that is possible.
I don't understand why we are discussing all this. Everyone knows that, regardless of location, it is always possible to pay much-too-much for a bead; and it is possible to get a great deal occasionally too.
