Original Message:   Re: To bead or not to bead

Beads can be a great investment.....luck, skill, timing, connections, knowledge, detachment and available funds are all factors that determine if a bead deal can be a good investment or just an expensive addition to a collection. After many years of bead hunting and collecting and some selling, I can positively state that SOME of my buys were GREAT investments. I feel the big problem with collectors is WHEN do we let go of the "Keepers"? An investment in a particular bead "for investment purposes" is only good if it brings a profit when we let it go. An investment in our knowledge is only good if use what we learn. I collect beads for the story they hold and I only hope that whoever ends up with my "keepers" will enjoy them as much as I Copyright 2024 All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users
