    Default 24 paracord bracelets for $50 bucks

    Seems the paracord bracelet market is about to get flooded with cheap bracelets.

    Right now, in some part of the world, there's a shop where six year old kids are working 12 hours a day to crank these out.

    You are correct, I suspect.....but do make it hard for the guys that come on here wanting to know how to make and sell them for a few bucks.....

    Do you mean "cheap" as in price or as in quality?
    If you mean quality, what would make them cheap other than maybe that they may not have been made with 550 paracord?

    88 feet in 24 bracelets? Those must be pretty small bracelets.

    I think they are dangerous to wear, get one caught on something and at the least you will lose skin.

    I just keep a roll of 550 in my backpack,, no bracelets for me, and the girls will only wear bracelets from high end jewelry stores!

    The other day, I saw our local WalMart had them for sale for $4 in the jewelry department.

    Actually Nessie they both have good jobs and buy most of it with their own money. I do buy them nice things on occasion but they also buy me some really cool stuff as well. 2 years ago they bought me a new pool table for my man cave, and last year a new varmint rifle so they always return as much as they get!
