For a while we were doing exactly that!

The 6.5mm strands were going as high as the 7mm. Because of that we were offering 7mm strands in place of 6.5mm to customers for the same price as the 6.5mm. It brought our margin down to basically zero for those pieces, but our customers were very happy.

I do not think 6.5mm strands will be a problem again in the next 1-2 months. We will definitely have them before Christmas and probably too many to know what to do with. We will probably put together a few designer sets, maybe use one for the next Oscar celebration or something...
