Fire Mountain Gems - EVERYTHING Assortable now . . .

With Each Other!

I'm not sure if this is a good or bad change, because it seemed to me it was easier to rack up 25 assortable sterling items, low-price ones, for $50 or so, than it will be to get that discount on silver stuff now; now you'll have to buy more items to get to the discounts, although now all the stuff that wasn't assortable before, like findings, jump rings, etc., will be, now.

So since one can ALWAYS use more findings, THAT's good. As well as Swarovski and such being assortable now, too . . .

So it's a tradeoff, but I think the net result will be that people will have to place higher $$ orders in order to get the same or similar discounts as before. AND, what about if prices on some of the previously non-assortable stuff have been jacked up a bit (probably so), in order to compensate for potential discounts . . . since it's going to be rare for me to get anything other than the first discount, the net result may be paying MORE for many to most items??

Then again, who can say . . . .

Since I use seed beads, I suppose it's easy to throw those on, at $1 each for some of them, at the best discount. Course, you're buying $200 items that way, which is 200 items . . . THAT's not hardly ever going to happen.

I think, that, FMG has done this, yes at the request of the customers, but it might end up being better for their bottom line . . . I guess we'll see!
