@ruella Very few people actually get sold Advocare/Amway/Long Distance Phone Cards. They sign up people who use supplements who then buy the supplements they use. They tend to buy more than they would normally because it "benefits" them. Then they sign up their buddies so they can get the preferred level of pricing. Eventually, you and all your friends all buy Advocare and some/most of you pay the same price per pound of protein that you'd pay at GNC with a Gold Card. Still a ripoff. The people there that really make the money are the ones at the top of the "Triangle" (not a pyramid). I don't think many sell the stuff straight up. It might even be illegal to resell. You might need to be a generic level member to buy it.
