LR items not selling out like they have been

iTalia — Thu, 18 May 2017 23:00:45 GMT

Noticed Lisa's items are not selling like they have been when she first started.

The reason for this very well may be because there have been several complaints from tribe members saying their jewelry is not lasting. It's turning colors and tarnishing all within a couple of months. Specifically there was a lot of talk about this yesterday on the Tribe Talk page and people are quite angry. If I spent the high prices Lisa is charging, I wouldn't be happy either. Some of those ladies have spent a ton on her jewelry only to have it now turn colors after the 30 day window. It's very disheartening.

All this combined with Lisa is now charging a lot to return something to her if you use her label. And if you ship back on your own you will be charged a restocking fee. None of this is even stated on her website. Was just said during a chat. Not happy campers over there these days. Buyer beware.

Just anything you can do to shed a little shade on someone, find a way to do it.

No shade here. I know I'd want to know the raw truth about something if I'm going to be a potential buyer and spending my money.

Maybe she is bringing in more inventory now. You were pretty disturbed about the sell outs before.

If what she's selling is sterling silver, tarnish is normal unless the piece is kept under anti-tarnish conditions. All the owner needs to do is give it a quick wipe with a silver polishing cloth and it will be good as new.

@Kachina624, most all of Lisa's jewelry people are complaining about has a base metal of either bronze or brass, the two most no nothing types of metals that are out there. It's really no surprise these items are tarnishing so quickly. I just feel bad for the people who have bought so much of it because the prices for what she's charging is pretty steep. There really is not much one can do to bring it back to its original look without some work. Nonetheless, the plating should be lasting longer than 3 months worth.

I've known since I was a teen that my skin will have a nasty reaction to base metals (all of them, except surgical steel).... and I'll get an itchy rash as well as turning the item green and wearing off the surface (even lavishly applied 14k or 18k, doesn't matter). So it's a waste of money for me to buy anything along those lines.

I hope this was disclosed by LR prior to offering her jewelry. People need to know and some people have no reaction at all to jewelry made in this way.... but even so, the surface metal will eventually wear, how could it not?

....the only clad jewelry I've ever been able to wear has been the QVC product that is sterling silver with a platinum surface. I have a couple of rings I've had for years and years and they still look new....

Oh yes, it's clear that the pieces are clad bronze or brass, so people know. But the prices are high for "bronzo" and buyers assumed that properly stored & cared for jewelry would last longer than 3-4 months before the plating started to come off.

@iTalia They could have been stored a long time before being sold. Buyers have no way of knowing how "fresh" the merchandise is. I would never buy silver plated anything. Cheap.

I think several things are going on. One is she has a base but how does she get growth? People stumble on QVC on tv. How does she get new customers? Eventually the base has bought enough. You can't love and/or buy everything. Another thing is she doesn't get that people spend their hard earned money and want respect. That means returning items is allowed and even encouraged if they need to be. She is snarky to anyone who even nicely mentions this. On another note she can be testy. Today she wrote "on this summer night" Joking I wrote "still spring" She deleted that comment. Odd.

Where is the Tribe Talk page? I have purchased a bracelet from LR and it broke way too soon. I would like to hear what other people are saying.

@iTalia Where can I find the Tribe talk page that you referred to? I'd like to read it before I place another order.I have one of her necklaces & haven't had any problems with it. Thanks!

You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.

Oh you are right - that is so true of the multi nic posters. And the same one's that constantly post 'hate on Lisa' comments & threads. Eventually, it's easy to see them and the true intent.
