    What wholesalers?  If anyone can lead me in the direction of a true
    wholesale company, I'd love to give them my business. 

    It's funny you posted this question this evening.  I was wondering
    myself if there really is such a thing as "true wholesale" anymore. 
    Other than the Tucson Show, I don't think there is.  Every place I go
    to seems to offer "wholesale to the public".  Where's the wholesale
    in that?  I suppose if you purchase 100 of each gemstone you get a
    price break - but I usually buy one of this and one of that - even
    though it adds up to a heck of a lot of money every year and I place
    numerous orders every week.  It should put me in some sort of
    wholesale buyer category - I'm still paying the same price for all my
    materials that someone who makes a handful of bracelets a year pays
    for the same materials.  I blame it on the internet and Ebay....
    Everything is wholesale nowadays... 

    Sorry to rant... I think I've been doing that a lot this month...
