    I could see that this would be a problem for a straight reseller. I
    hope to never be in that position. 

    I'm thinking that if I am creating a fine piece of jewelry then that
    is what I'm selling. Markup on the wholesale cost of a finding would
    hopefully not be where my margin lies. 

    "wholesalers, designers, students, and the jewelry craftsperson"
    should somehow be deserving of a special price so they can turn it
    over for a profit has never set well with me. 

    What is the value that you bring to the piece that justifies the
    margin, expertise and craftsmanship or membership in the club? 

Robert
