Cabochons from China - How do they do it?

[Mike Peace]

I ran across these cabochons on ebay and thought I would take a chance. They have beveled edges and will look beautiful on a box lid or a wine stopper. Well I won and they came in today, two weeks later.

How can they sell 4 of these 22mm agate cabochons for $2.70 with free shipping from Shanghai? Unbelievable.

They sure are nice, Mike. Looking forward to see how you use them.

[Andrew Arndts]

They are mostly Lead.. Just Kidding

We could do that here in the good ole USA . . . darn those early 1900's child labor laws . . . also just kidding. I too look forward to see how those work out for you.

I love those things Mike...good price so look that gift horse in the mouth!

[Rick Markham]

Those are spectacular Mike! Those will look super inlaid in your work. I agree don't look the gift horse (or prison labor) that may have been used to produce them in it's mouth or mouths (as the case may be) :D For all we know they might be as common as gravel over there LOL
