@thriftfabulous Really? Think Avon or pampered chef but with household cleaners and health & beauty products.

WTF is CrossFit?

 

[paulniven]

@katlee21 Really? Think Rodan and Fields but with barbells and high socks.

WTF is pampered chef?

 

[novihartanti]

@paulniven Really? Think Martha Stewart and Tupperware.

Wtf is Rodan and Shields?

@thriftfabulous Dunno man, my gf used to make bank doing pampered chef part time. Nothing scammy about it.

 

[thriftfabulous]

@dawn16 Just cause you make bank, doesn't mean its not a scam. Just ask Bernie Madoff.

Pampered chef may be legit or not. I have no experience nor care either way.

 

[russg]

@thriftfabulous If you're paying to sell a product, it's a scam.

 

[paulniven]

@russg Franchisees worldwide will be shocked!

 

[russg]

@paulniven Ok. Touche.

 

[dawn16]

@russg There is absolutely no scam involved. The products are high quality (we still buy them) and have amazing warranties. She got 60% of what she sold. No one got screwed. The customer got great products and everyone made money. Easy part time gig.

 

[novihartanti]

@dawn16 How much did she pay to be a distributor?

 

[dawn16]

@novihartanti $99

 

[dawn16]

@thriftfabulous Many people lost much money because of Bernie. Not exactly apples to apples

 

[thriftfabulous]

@dawn16 It is exactly apples to apples, when your qualifying statement is simply "X used to make bank doing Y. Nothing scammy about it"

Addition: If you had said, they have great products, warranties, customer service blah blah blah. That would be a different story, and then it wouldn't be apples to apples.

 

[dawn16]

@thriftfabulous They have all of that, just because I didn't say it doesn't mean they don't have it.

 

[thriftfabulous]

@dawn16 Fair enough.... They are the shit. Fantastic.

But that was not your argument for why it wasn't scammy. Your argument was that they are not scammy because you can make "bank" selling it.

 

[dawn16]

@e31 No, you're not crazy. It's a basic human right that everyone else should be like you are and want what you want.

@e31 Well our box sells progenex, kill cliff, and fit aid.. But we would never promote pyramid schemes.. Theres also a small group of ppl that all go to the same church and have brought us new members from said church, but we dont have church events or anything like that.. Kinda weird.. Then again.. theres some boxes out there totally devoted to the church mentality.. I.e. Christfit in Houston.

 

[shane2008]

@e31 A few people at my box sell Advocare, and most are super Christians. I don't mind it, as long as they don't push it on me.

 

[ruella]

@shane2008 honest question: if most of them sell Advocare, who the hell are they selling it to?

 

[shane2008]

@ruella Beats me! I think they all joined under each other though, so maybe that's why? Or they just sell it for the discount? Who knows!
