Some of the bead makers will put a bowl of 'seconds'. The higher end folks do not and are very outspoken against doing so. On the one hand it is a good way to make your glass money back on slightly imperfect or fugly beads. On the other offering something so cheap may undercut other sales. Thoughts?
I like the higher-end purist mentality. But could see how that's not appropriate for every vendor or show.

I'm guessing some of the higher end folks have less worries on making up the cost of the glass, and the worry that someone would devalue their other beads might be fairly realistic for their particular audience. I think the 'seconds' can be fun, but not to always have around - maybe an occasional sale, but they wouldn't compete with your other work full-time.
