<p>[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 6237750, member: 51"]I agree that they definitely have a resale market. Must be the real deal as KSW said. There are similar inexpensive non sterling look-alike beads out there without the Pandora stamp, so critical that they all have some kind of mark. (No idea if there are fakes with marks. Anyone know??) If I found those bracelets at a reasonable price (say, less than $30 per bracelet...) I'd take a chance and get them. I'm sure other people would spend more.</p><p><br /></p><p>My strategy would be to sell as a lot in a 10 day auction setting, since I doubt I'd have the energy to look each up, but if you have time, that would probably get a higher result. Many are unsold at $10 per bead on Ebay, but maybe several in a single auction with one shipping price would catch a few buyer's eyes, and do pretty well. And hopefully if one was particularly sought after, the obsessive Pandora buyers would catch it. Guessing that older Pandora beads have more value so if you have any specific information about the age of the bracelets, could be helpful.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I agree -- It was a bit of savvy marketing that started this whole business. Also allowed for "collections to build" without taking up much space, etc. I think the market has softened however. Not such a novelty any more, but definitely still buyers for them. I remember ten years ago getting a Pandora bracelet full of charms at my local SAVERS (OMG... painful to think about... that store is now a Whole Foods. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie14" alt=":arghh:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />). Anyway paid $2.99 or whatever and the bracelet loaded with charms sold for $250 on Ebay.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
