I think it's wrong either way you look at it. Kandi is a sign of friendship, yes? You wouldn't sell or buy friendship, so why sell or buy kandi?

I think it's okay to sell it. I just find it more rewarding to trade and make it yourself.

I sell only certain pieces that are too hard or too time consuming for others to do. Making kandi is something I enjoy doing while watching tv, and I enjoy making others happy. The only reason I even sell my kandi and perler creations is to turn over the money to get more supplies to make more. As kandi is becoming ever more popular with people who don't rave, the suppliers are noticing, and supplies are becoming more expensive. so, i say, go on sell your kandi, just dont overprice it and be a d-bag.

@Halodiablo I love wearing my kandi to school my kandi is part of me. there's only one other kid at my school who does it also but i feel like by wearing kandi to school people ask me why does that cuff say PLUR? then i have a chance to tell them about what i believe in. It's pretty cool, i'm like a walking billboard In addressing the selling/not selling issue i feel like selling singles is just rude. anyone can string a few beads together and tie a knot. but selling to people who really want kandi but don't have the connections yet to have it given to them or the abilities/$$ to make stuff to trade that's o.k.

I sell kandi, so obviously I'm not against selling it lol, the way I see it is that I'm helping out someone else (of course it's going to be at a cost though I'm not freakin Bill Gates over here ) A lot of people have trouble making kandi, either they don't have enough time, or they just don't understand and can't get the concepts (trust me I've tried teaching A LOT of people and most of them just don't get it). I see it as helping someone out, they want kandi but they can't make it so they ask me to make it for them at a price. From what I see I sell my stuff pretty cheap depending on the size someone wants and all that. A lot of sellers online or on Etsy sell their cuffs/bras/skirts/ etc for insane prices. I'm still making every piece (even if it's for profit) with the same amount of love and dedication for each customer. I don't look down on them for not being able to do it themselves, I'm more than happy to help them out in any way. PLUR right?
