[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's my experience: I have a friend who recently started selling S&D and I have been to two of her shows, just to support her. She's a sahm by choice, with a nanny to take care of her kids. [b]She has literally never had a job in her life. She has more money than ANY of her friends, thanks to inheritance and her husband working[/b]. I'm happy for her that she has such a nice life, and I do enjoy her company, but she's losing all of her friends over this.

Watching her do the hard sell on people who truly can not afford to buy the, admittedly cute but over-priced jewlery is nauseating. People are talking about her behind her back, and they are not saying nice things. After her recent party, several people heard her say "I can't believe that b%#*ch didn't buy anything!" That "b^%$ch" is a single mom who lost her job and was under the mistaken impression that she had been invited to a party. The whole thing is ugly and out of control.

I personally would never buy into one of these at home sales ventures. I do think it's tacky and low-class to try to sell merchandise to friends and family. I do not mind getting the invitations, most of which I decline, but the second someone starts questioning why I am not attending, or pressuring me to buy, I am judging them and the likelyhood of a continued friendship becomes unlikely.

From everything I've seen first-hand and heard about from others, nearly no one actually makes any money on these things. If you are looking for a second job or trying to make ends meet, this is almost certainly NOT the way to do it. If you are bored and looking to buy a title to feel better about your life ($199 and suddenly you're a "stylist" just makes me laugh,) and have too many friends and are looking lose some, this is for you.

Sounds like your friend doesn't need the money.  Why is she doing this?  I'm surprised she'd find this 'fun'.  Is this her new hobby?[/quote]
