At a vintage pop up show , I sold a lady one of these necklaces *same as what is photoed* ... she asked if I had more and I said yes. Next week, her husband said he wanted to fly in from 4 states away to see what I had.. i told him there was not enough to fly in for. He wants this lot but im not sure what to charge? I do not do a lot of wholesale for jewelry... She bragged about buying a box full of this stuff for $200 from another seller. Any ideas of a fair wholesale price? She is recycling ... looking for bulk Swarovski crystals as well.

Need help coming up with a wholesale price

I'll preface this by saying I'm fairly cheap when I buy and cheap when I let things go. Buy low, sell low. That said, if I'm selling this directly to a reseller and they want a resale/ wholesale price, I would send them a clean picture of each flat with the pieces lined up nicely, And I would tell them $5pr on small earrings, $7.50 on large, and $10ea on small necklaces and $15ea on big beauties. But that would be a buy everything price, not a pick what you want price.

Testing Methods

$1 SB Opportunity

Hi everyone, I hope this is okay to post here. I've been lurking in the background as I live sell on a different platform than Whatnot. But I'm part of train that is all about items with wings and we all are having a $1 "banger" start item. A few of us are showcasing jewelry and I thought I'd share mine with you all as it's a great piece and if it doesn't go very high you might get an amazing deal! It's a Lester Joy piece from before he started Les Bernard with epic dragons on the sides, it's so cool! If you're interested make sure you like the item and put in a prebid. The train isn't until July 5th but the sellers are having a friendly contest so we're marketing early. Also if you haven't heard of Niknax on District it's another place you can live sell if you like a smaller more intimate space :) https://district.net/dashboard/niknax/products/details/vintage-signed-joy-art-nouveau-s-83d93

Jewelry Rant

Well, half rant, half advice. Plain and simply put, I'm tired of watching new people or less knowledgeable jewelry people eat shit sandwiches from experienced individuals in this industry. It's just jewelry. It's not a secret recipe. It's not saving anyone's life, and it certainly doesn't make you better than the next guy/gal. Just be kind. Yes, you studied for 30 years, congratulations. I hope I'm not like you when I reach the same point. If jewelry makes you feel poorly toward other people or makes you want to be negative, then maybe you should consider a different hobby until you're ready to act like a respectable/respectful person. XO, Brad

@Rachael McIntyre watchoomeanby split off, don't scare me plastic peep. Absolute zero issue for researching/asking. I was thinking people shouldn't obsess. Sometimes you just can't get the ID so it's best to move through the piece. My early whatnot days were RIDDLED with 'this could be'. Now I don't even like to give educated guesses if I don't know. If I do it these days, I'll do it carefully because I'm selling on consignment and I want to do my very best by my client. Plus, they are usually watching me and I can picture them screaming at their phone "THAT'S CZECH DUDE! THAT'S SELRO! THAT'S BOG OAK COME ON DUDE" can't know everything, so I usually don't pretend to try. So yea, follow me on Skool.
