I have always hated paying too much money at department stores for things such as panty hoses, earrings, and other items.....So, I finally said to myself instead of buying 1 pair of earrings at a department store for $7.00 why not buy them wholesale on ebay and for 10 pairs pay less than that!  So, my suggestion is to type in the item you want along with the word "wholesale" next to it you might just get lucky and get a better deal :).
