A couple of years ago I purchased a large lot of retired beads from a jewelry store going out of business.  I have a lot of feedback from selling beads but none recently as I have been selling other merchandise as well.  All are authentic but will come without the packaging that the normal beads come with. They will come in Tiny little Ziploc jewelry bags.  All of the beads are retired and are hard to find.
