My SIL decided she wanted to &quot;make&quot; jewelry (i.e. string a few beads together) and sell it in local gift stores. I told her she should expect to sell them to the store for about 30% of retail. She was floored, said that&#039;s not fair! </p><p><br /></p><p>I reminded her the items could take months and months to sell taking up valuable space in the store. That tstores have payroll, insurance, utilities, rent or a mortgage and supplies to pay for. Buy low, sell high is not just a saying![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
