....if you are looking for wholesale pricing, you need a resale license...if the sites do not require a license and advertise wholesale pricing MOST require a minimum purchase of at least $100.00....if you ask most beaders...it is not an inexpensive hobby (tools wire and the collecting of beads) it becomes an addiction... the need to bead!...if you are looking for instruction....I personally have a bead store and have fair pricing...i am not a chain like other hobby stores so i cannot buy the volume that they can...i also hand pick my stock...those big chains have JUNK!...but i offer everything needed as well as classes....(strungoutbeadsonli... DOT com) you SHOULD shop around (please excuse my juvenile page...it is trying to grow up!)
....just remember your local bead stores and supoort us!...afterall, we do not have magnified pics of beads suggesting larger size, and no color enhancement...when u go into the store...WYSIWYG....once you start beading, there is soooo much to do...like lampworking (making your own beads out of glass rods!~) and art clay/pmc moldable sterling/gold clay where the possiblities are endless...and TRUST ME that medium is not cheap and HIGHLY addicitive..LOL...if you intend to sell your stuff it is best to use the good stuff or u will be repairing LOTS!..anyhow, you should be able to find LOTS through a search with links to others feel free to contact us though....happy beading! ...

The local craft stores are several times as expensive as online-
http://www.shipwreckbeads.com
and
http://www.firemountaingems.com
are my favorites. Fire Mountain has nicer stuff than Shipwreck (more semiprecious stones, precious metals). That's mainly what I use. Shipwreck is cheaper for the plastics, and possibly the glass or plated beads.
I found most of my tools on eBay, though I got my high-quality, high $, round-nose pliers from http://www.riogrande.com/
If you do a lot of wire-wrapped links, invest in some really good round-nose pliers. They're worth it...

hi, we've quite an excellent form of glass and metallic beads and pendants from China. a lot of them are from receives (as already suggested) yet you may likely purchase them in a lot smaller parts from us in case you want to as we promote to both retail and wholesale clientele. international delivery isn't an issue. desire this permits!

I get really great deals on Ebay, Walmart and the dollar stores. Sometimes you can find someone online (eg. craft forums, craftster.org, etc) who will sell them cheap or even trade.
Good luck!

Any craft store like JoAnn's or Michael's is a really good one.
