How do you sell something you have in stock without voiding the warranty for a customer? For example, I'm earning (yay) a chillzanne but already have one. If I wanted to sell it, would HO still honor their warranty? TIA - Deb

I got a home office lead from someone that wants to know about the business opportunity. I gave her a call and she was asking if we was allowed to sell on ebay because that is what she is wanting to do. I told her I didnt think we were allowed to but wasn't sure. Does someone know the answer to...
