Well, I don't know how much this will help, cause you know how excited I get when your stuff sells and you succeed epically. :D
I loathe Pyramid Collection. I used to buy from them all the time...and I love the stuff they have. The thing that stopped me from buying from them ever again was their pricing.
They sell a ring, an exact copy of one I own, for much more than the $30 I paid for it. I forget the amount, but I can go look it up for you....I have a lot of old catalogs.
I also wanted to buy an awesome tribal skull ring for my hubby for $150. I wasn't bothered by the price here...it was an ounce of silver (this was 7 years ago, btw), but still a bit steep. I wanted that ring. What really got me going was the shipping. I lived within an hour drive of their warehouse and they wanted to charge me basic USPS shipping of $17 on something that would cost $3 to ship. They based that on the cost. Anything over say, $100, was automatically $16.95 to ship.
I went online and several hours later found the exact same ring for the exact same price on a biker's jewelry site and I paid ONE WHOLE DOLLAR
