Next Topic: eBay and Trollbeads

... or What I will lovingly call "The Good, The Bad, and The Snuggly"

Do you sell Trollbeads on eBay? Do you buy Trollbeads on eBay? Do you think you might be "the good," "the bad" ... or ... "the snuggly?" How do you rate yourself? How do you rate others? And, maybe even more importantly, how do your experiences help others when they are choosing who to "do business" with?

I'm going to share a bit about my own eBay experiences -- both with purchasing (or selling!) Trollbeads on eBay; and what I've learned along th eway.

As anyone would expect - there are good sellers, and ones that you might consider otherwise. That, however, is to be expected anywhere, whether it be online retailers, brick-and-mortar storefront sellers, or off of the back of a truck sellers. I won't be naming names, but I might just offer a bit of advice about who you might trust and what you could use as a yardstick when measuring any transaction.

Consider this just as a "teaser" to get the curiousity going. Maybe that's my curiosity, maybe yours. Check back later for a full-fledged "how-to" course on my own view and experiences on eBay.

New Unique/OOAK Beads at Trollbeads Gallery

Okay, so I did my standard "what's new check" of my favorite Trollbead sites a few minutes ago and I found something awesome! Of course, I thought about keeping the news to myself, but us Trollies have to stick together.

When I visited TrollbeadsGallery, I found that Santa must have been working really hard overnight! There are a whole bunch of new Unique/OOAK beads in both their Holiday section AND in the regular Unique/OOAK section!

Go check! Some are really really awesome! I'll race you there!

Cheers and happy shopping!!

Trollbeads Gallery - Has a Blog!

Hey, Folks! For those of you who have been visiting and viewing, and shopping at the best online Trollbeads retailer ... guess what!?

Trollbeads Gallery now has a blog!!!

That's awesome news and I'm hoping that they will be able to provide announcements for when they have new Unique/One-of-a-Kind beads! Their selection is always remarkable, but I'm always afraid that, if I don't "live" on their site, I might miss the opportunity for a really great, beautiful and wonderful bead -- and that one of you other Troll Hounds might be the one who gets it!

May the best Troll win! Or at least the most determined!

Tricky Christmas Trolls!

I got an email from Trollbeads.com and it had a link that directed me to a section of their website to view stuff about their little "Tricky Christmas Trolls!"If you subscribe to and receive Trollbeads' newsletter, you probably got this email, too.

They have a movie that explains what they are, but they also have "downloadable" Christmas Trolls for you to print and use for yur own "Holiday" decorating. I always find it interesting to learn about the experiences of cultures other than my own, and I think it's great that put together this handout and move so that everyone could share in part of their Holiday celecbration.

It's always nice to share and to take the opportunity to learn from other people. We could all benefit from understanding one another a bit more.

----> Still no mention of the Winter 2007 release of Trollbeads, tho! Darn! I continue my wait with breathless anticipation!

Winter 2007 Beads

As is normal for me, I've been spending a majority of my time thinking about ... Trollbeads! So, a question crossed my mind.

Has anyone heard anything about the Winter 2007 beads? They have to be due out at any moment!! Somehow it always seems that they are able to keep them a secret until they suddenly spring them on us. Not that i don't kike surprises. :-)

And while I'm on that thought (Trollbeads, again), has anyone else seen the little Trolls that have been added to Trollbeads main site? Interesting ... in a somewhat startling kind of way!
