    I agree LJM - I always buy from ebay, definitely seem to be the cheapest
    Plus some sellers might put a package together if you are looking for something specific.

    Ebay, by far.

    One seller on ebay has got back to me and said £31 for 15,000. I haven't bought them for years so is this a good price?
    I can get 16,200 non hotfix for £12.46 which is a lot cheaper, though the only problem is How do I stick them onto a mirror so they stay shiny and don't fall off. I know superglue makes them look dull, I was thinking about pva but would it be strong enough?

    So what do you think I should do?

    It sounds like a good price for 15000 gems. I find that Hotfix is usually the best way to keep the gems sparkly although, it does depend on the size gems you are using and what you are applying them to.
    Glueing individual gems is quite time consuming, but it just depends on what you are comfortable with.

    I think you can buy rhinestones from Chinese factory with much better prices than on ebay.

    For example, for AAA rhinestones hotfix SS6 crystal, the price is EUR0.034 per 144pcs, much better prices than in ebay.
