Buyer to Seller Tip:
If you happen to inherit a bead collection from a beloved beader and you think it might be best to sell the whole collection - DO NOT MIX THE BEADS TOGETHER. I see this often on platforms like Ebay. This may make them more attractive to some but it will take away from the perceived value.

Bead buyers like to see how many different varieties exist in a collection and how much of each variety is available.

If the beads are already a little mixed, it may be helpful to sort them. Though tedious, it makes it easier to assess value. If the buyer has to sort them after buying them, then the collection is considered a “fixer upper”.
