Do you make these? I think Listia would be a GREAT venue for beads and other craft supplies. I listed a bunch of beads and people are asking me to list more craft supplies. I think we could get an excellent craft swap/recycling program going here.
I've put in a request to Listia to create separate categories for "handmade crafts" and "craft supplies" with sub-categories that would include "yarn," "stitching," "metal," "gem," and ESPECIALLY "beads and findings." Thousands, possibly MILLIONS, of beaders would participate. I've searched for "bead swap" sites and almost all of them are completely inactive. New beads and findings can be very expensive, and people would love to get them for free.
I think Listia could be the first great "bead swap" and craft material recycling site. If you agree, send a message to Listia via "contact help" at the bottom on the page, then click on "submit a request."
Yes I agree, but no I do not do much beading, however I do have a few friends who are big into it. I myself work with pottery & hand sculpted items...I would probably never list any on here for they are truely a one of a kind & I'm looking to actually selling them for money. I am a single mother of two AWSOME boys (one having a life long disability), anyways my plate is always full & to help out with extra money and such I "Play in the Mud" as we like to say it :o)
Oh, yes, you don't want to sell really nice handcrafts here, for free. Posting some of them might help drive customers to another web site, but I'm not sure how effective it would be. Have you tried Etsy or Bonanzle? They are very cheap and easy to use, so it doesn't cost much to try them out.
