I decided to browse eBay for PC products, and I cannot believe some of the things! (Don't get me wrong, I LOVE ebay)

Stoneware storage racks going for $22 + shipping!!!:eek:

Lifetime warranty on the double griddle....how can they say that??:confused:

And...someone is already advertising that the white TTA is changing to black..wow!
 
Those are either rogue PC consultants, or someone with an inside track.

***There's a stoneware storage rack? Why didn't I think of that?***

This same person is probably claiming to NOT be a PC consultant. What a crock!!

Lifetime warranty is not transferrable. If they need to use the warranty they would have to have either the official PC receipt or at least have the show information which includes the consultant number and show number and I doubt they will get that through an ebay purchase.

Pampered Chef Dots Towel Set (2) Purple and Green (NEW)http://cgi.ebay.com/Pampered-Chef-Dots-Towel-Set-2-Purple-and-Green-NEW_W0QQitemZ290077520475QQihZ019QQcategoryZ32885QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItemthis is ridiculous!
 
I am starting to get angry with consultants blowing the lid on new products! I called to confirm a February date with my neighbor, and she tells me that her friends took her to an aquaintence's (sp?) PC show on Friday and the consultant handed out SPRING catalogs! So now she wants March, and all her friends already know what the products are and have cattys! If you want to screw over your own February that is fine, but don't mess with mine! I have almost enough nerve to call the consultant that did the show and complain!

Sorry this was off topic, but I just had to vent!
 
You should call her, Gillian. That is ridiculous that she is already giving out spring catalogs when PC is very specific about that paperwork only being available Mar 1. The only people getting that stuff early should be March hosts in host packets, but there's no reason to give a March host packet out in January.
 
Jennifer- I asked a question to the seller seeing if she is a consultant or what the "not-a-consultant" story is. I didn't lie because I love PC, but I hope she contacts me to "sell" me more stuff so I can turn her in!!

I can't get the devilish grin off my face!!
 
hehe, I was about to suggest you do the same thing. GMTA

My neighbor told me her name and she sounded new. I know her upline, so maybe I will just give her upline a heads up. My neighbor told me that none of them booked because they knew she was having a show with me soon, so they didn't even get the cattys in a host packet, she was just freely handing them out. I wonder how the host felt about her sabotaging the sales like that!! :confused:

Yeah, maybe let her upline know. Being new, maybe she didn't realize she shouldn't pass them out, or that doing so would hurt her sales!
 
Speaking of the hormones I almost cried when my neighbor changed months because I am having a horrible time booking Feb, had nothing in Jan and was hoping to get lots of March bookings from the February shows.
 
Ok...So I'm with you guys on the whole selling new crap, but what is your feelings about someone selling retired products that are no longer available on ebay??

Just curious. I have yet to sell ANYTHING on ebay, let alone PC.
 
I think it is fine for people to sell retired stuff, but not for TWICE the original price! I don't see why consultants can't sell retired things on eBay, but I am sure it is a fine line between what is okay when and what's not.

I think it is fine that retired products are being sold there too! And the prices, I just comment as a WOW....good for them I guess! If people are willing to pay more, than that is their own problem! But I think that we should be able to sell retired as well. Geez, I didn't care for the storage rack that I bought from the Outlet, so I sold both to another consultant on here...and just made my money back, if that even...
 
My March hosts will have their packets as soon as I get my changeover kit they are ready waiting on the catalogs & new show planner.

okay ladies- here is the update!

She wrote me back saying she is a consultant and she got "extras" to test. (DIRECTOR??) She told me to contact her if I needed anything. I wrote her back saying I love the products and asking if she has a website or where I order. I am hoping she has a site where I can get her name!!

Fighting eBay crimes against PC one cheater at a time!!

Oh, and BTW, her screen name is Ms.Tiff21. Don't we have a consultant on here that is 21 named Tiff? I hope it isn't her! Se is married though so she wouldn't go by Ms. I guess!

I agree, and the new stuff is what gets me.
 
Gillian - Around here the February stoneware special is a big hit - so maybe try to push the host specials! People are less interested in March here....
 
All my customers just had the stoneware special in September is the problem... no one cares and they just want the new stuff! I am doing my best but people want new new new!
 
That totally ticks me off that she is selling stuff that hasn't even come out yet. :mad:
