Make Sure You Know What You Are Paying For

Do you believe in everything the label tells you when you buy something? Well, from now on, be wise. I can't believe when I see shops selling beads proclaiming that they are from Japan when they are NOT.
Firstly, look at the price. Beads from Japan are of higher quality and cannot be sold so cheaply. (Unless someone can tell me which part of Japan sell cheap beads, I like to know). If they sell it so cheaply, they are not making profits, and shops are businesses set up to make profit. Which means...are the beads really from Japan?
Secondly, look at the quality of the beads. Beads from Japan don't LOOK cheap. If they are poorly made, there are not from Japan.
So, what can you do?
Firstly, check with the retail staff, if they insist it is from Japan, don't take it at face value.
Secondly, shop around widely, and compare the prices and quality.
Thirdly, read up more in the internet and from books to increase your knowledge.
That done, you will be wise during your next purchase.
