Can anyone recommend a good, reliable, and relatively inexpensive place to buy beads & findings wholesale? There are so many out there, and I'd like to see what places others have had good experience with.

I had a good experience with http://www.rings-things.com/ -- the site is kinda crappy so I ordered over the phone. When I got my order (very quickly!) I got a big fat catalog with it that is so fun to browse through. The prices are good though you have to pay $4 if your order is under $50. Even so the good prices make it worthwhile.

I really like http://store.yahoo.com/finedings/index.html
She has the best prices I have found. Her shipping is sometimes a little steep but still cheaper than most because of the great bead/finding prices. Some of the wholesale dealers on the net require a resale license to buy from them so this was the best deal I found. She has some really nice things too. And everything comes fast and packaged really nice. HTH!

Thanks! I'll look at these sites. I have a place I go for large or unusual beads, but just want to be able to stock up on seed beeds and findings without paying retail.

depends on what kind of beads you're after. eBay can be useful at times.

theres always firemountaingems.com. :) they have pages and pages of seed beads in every size ad color imaginable. request their catalogue if you don't already have it - even if you don't buy anything, it's fun to look at.

I put in a request for their catalog. Thanks for the link. It looks great!
