You are a kind person, thanks for the note. I did not want to come across as gruff or nasty, I hope I didn't! Floor said it best: "Then again, he did not ask for any discussion of the beads, so no explanation is 'owed'. He simply wanted to sell them and did so in the wrong place."......to me he came across as a bit smug and pushy....I'm not the best at educating on the beads he shows but I know they are new and not as he described them, I wanted any potential buyer to be made aware of that fact. All too often if something gets posted here, it gives credibility.....just helping with the checks and balances
