    There are some genuine ones on ebay, theres a list of them here.. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Genuine-Pre-Loved-Pandora/180764738611580 along with a bunch of girls who will look at listings/photos of ones you have and tell you if genuine or not..

    The whole Pandora thing has missed be by, luckily I'm too old to be interested in it. I can't believe the prices of second hand.
    I may have to go & have a little peek at the RRP of some of it.

    Very pretty but very expensive.
    I take it that Pandora is the brand, like Chanel?

    well a genuine business selling is not going to be selling bits and bobs as you say it if their business is jewellery.

    its like saying i wont by a car from a Ford Garage unless he is selling other items like toys and food.

    I didn't mention a business seller. I would probably not buy designer goods from a business seller. I'd rather buy it off someone who is a well established private seller, just having a clearout or selling an unwanted gift/competition prize. I always question when business sellers sell some things so cheap; got stung once before but got my money back in the end. I'm all for saving money, but see no point in risking being scammed/conned.

    As they are defrauding HMRC I would suggest that casts doubts on their authenticity:

    Customs fees are not being included by pandorabraceletstore.co.uk for international shipping. We’ll mark our parcel as "Gifts" or "Samples" to avoid fees imposed by Customs, but the recipient will be fully responsible for the charges if there is any.

    Actually I suspect from the briefest glance at the Home page that they are fakes

    so your comment state that to you all business sellers are scammers. it does not say that a business seller is selling cheaper than a retail store they are fake.
    a high street store has overheads (staff, rates, rent, heating, elec, water etc.) to account for along with the cost of the item. but a busines seller on heare could be working form home and have non of these overheads, so dont need to account for them.

    i can get thousands of items from my wholesaler and sell far cheaper that retail stores and still make a decent profit.

    I certainly wasn't trying to get into a petty tit-for-tat. I didn't say that to me all business sellers are scammers either. I was just stating my personal preference when buying. I am aware that online, businesses have lower overheads than their high street equivalents and are able to pass on these discounts to their customers.
