Stop the continuous price increases!

Could not agree more ! I think us Brits pay more than most places it's actually cheaper for us to order them from mainland Europe than buy in the UK . I know gold and silver prices have gone up but the recent price hikes are just ridiculous ( and there's not much silver in the glass beads is there ! ).
Nearly all my silvers have come from the US where they are so much cheaper. I stopped buying when glass beads went from £23 - £25 and then they put them up to £26 and ooaks £35, I really do not know what planet TB are on
Since seeing the beautiful artisan beads I am truely converted !

I am with you. I started off saying I would be a Troll purist, but with the prices getting silly, I see more and more artisan beads creeping on to my combos. Especially with people like BeadImpressions, who will make your dream bead to order for a fraction of Troll prices

It is not only the price of TBs but the number of releases lately and WT, UUs just all to much.

This forum has opened my eyes to the world of artisan beads and other fabulous bead brands. I am soooo grateful Trollbeads were my first love but it is getting to be to much. I will still buy Trollbeads but much less often compared to the artisans and more affordable bead brands I will be focusing on now.
