BUYER BEWARE: Please note tube diameter and length when purchasing beads.
There are different tubes on the market.  Some have a smaller diameter, some larger.
That's why you think you are getting "such a deal".  Small diameter = less beads per tube inch.

I love tubed beads - but also know that when I buy bags of beads that have been measured on a scale, I'm getting exactly what I expect.  Tubes are approximate measurements at best.  Many variables are apparent with tubes - diameter - length - packed - unpacked.  Packed is nice except when opening the tube and the top 1/2" of beads are now on the floor because of such a tight fit.  That's my 2 cents worth.

 What is available to you is what you end up purchasing - just be aware and you'll be fine.
