I am writing this guide to inform buyers of the potential of getting "ripped" off when trying to purchase charms for their own clogs or ones for their children. 

1.  If you have purchased charms already, you know that there is a black backing that is the part that pops into the holes of the Crocs.  You can purchase these backings and make your own charms, however, there are some people making LOW QUALITY charms and selling them for outrageous prices.  What happens?  Well, what happens is you feel upset after you just spent $4-$6 on one little charm that didn't withhold the wear & tear of being on top of a shoe.  My suggestion......stick with either Jibbitz brand charms or Shoe Doodles. 

2.  I have bought & sold on EBay now for 7 years & I do research retail prices of items before bidding on EBay.  If you want certain character charms ....... go to the Jibbitz website.  Please, do not pay someone a small fortune for one charm.  Do not pay over $10 for a NFL charm when you can get a set of 2 of them on the other site for $6.00 .
