    May be they sell cheap because they all have the same things. As soon
    as you have something different, the price has no limit because
    there is only one of each. Where I am now I am surrounded by Mexican
    import Jewelry, they are very nice and very cheap, I still  sell my
    work at a fair price because nobody else has it. Vive la difference.
    Do you sell your jewelry there ,or did you just visit?
