    I have been looking for an easy and inexpensive way to expose my
    product to the Internet.  The best thing I have found so far is: 
    www.wholesalecrafts.com 

    where for $39/mo I can get up to eight pages of photos and a listing
    about me and my company. They also have 850+ craftsmen, artist, etc. 
    They only deal with artists or companies that make handmade products.
    The 10,000 retailers who have signed up, pay nothing, but must
    qualify re: credit, etc. 

    The description page about  the artist, their company, etc. is
    extremely easy to enter without a great deal of typing etc.  There is
    no charge for any of the sales that are made through them. 

    The only problem is that it is restricted to retailers only thus 
    pricing is wholesale (multiple units).  What I need is a similar
    situation except that the site would be a place for the end consumer
    to go and buy at the regular retail price.  Thus I could get the
    retail price for my one of a kind products.  Or I can list in both
    types of sites and cover the retailer and the end consumer. 

    I have done a brief search and can not find a good Web company that
    lets a producer sell to the end consumer.  There are some out there
    by they don't seem to be of the quality, character,  integrity, and
    VOLUME of wholesalecrafts.com. Is anybody out there dealing with such
    a company that they would recommend?  Also would appreciate it if
    there are any other GOOD retailer sites like wholesalecrafts that I
    can check out. 

    PLEASE NOTE:  I have only talked to wholesalecrafts and have not
    signed up yet with them.  Therefore I am not 100% sure that they will
    deliver as promised but the facts of their volume and site statistics
    are excellent. 

Please feel free to contact me directly.

Many thanks.
