I sent all the info to the solution center so hopefully they will do something or get it to the right person/department!
 
One of the sellers on there has 187 PC products for sale, you can't tell me that person's not a consultant...
 
send the link to HO, but you have to make sure they are a consultant. Ask questions and they will sing like a bird!
 
PC has rules for a reason - if they wanted to sell on E-bay, they would as a company. She looks like a fairly new user on E-bay and is trying to just make a few bucks...
 
Gillian - thanks a lot - now you got me browsing through the PC stuff on E-bay seeing what people are doing...
;)

I just saw someone selling the old knife block set like I have (about 10 years old)...<sigh>...one of my favorite old things...
 
someone actually has the username PCtoyourdoor, like they created their account specifically to sell PC stuff...

I saw that and got excited, but I lov emy forged cutlery wayyy too much! I had to buy a non-PC knife block though....the KaPoosh from Linen's and Things, etc works really well for them...the bread knife is a little long, but it works!
 
Since I have the old block, I keep my bread knife separate in the center of the TTA.

I put a product suggestion in for one, but I am really not sure how many customers buy the forged cutlery. I have a feeling that if it isn't a special, we, the consultants, probably purchase more of it than them...
 
I search from time to time, but I just get angry when I see consultants selling current stuff or new stuff.
 
I asked about a knife block and was told that PC will never have one again because it dulls the knives.
 
What a lot of the people do on ebay is, the consultant will have there neighbor or cousin or who ever set up the EBay account and then list PC stuff, that way HO cant track it to the consulatant.. it isnt under there name so no connection to PC. Get it.. It is unfair but that is how they get around the rules of no selling on ebay.

I have heard that too, the one I got is made up of thousands of plastic rods, and you just stick the knife in wherever, so it isn't supposed to...

Speaking of changeover kits.....I just went to ebay after reading this thread. Someone is selling their changeover kit for $30.50!! :eek: That's the current bid! How dumb is that?? Only a consultant would want what's in there and we get it FREE (except for shipping).
 
On the knife blocks, I've always been told to put your knives in upside down. Then they won't dull by scraping against the wood. I do this with my PC and non-PC knives. I've had my block for 10 years and once in awhile sharpen with the built-in sharpener and still love it.
 
maybe an inactive consultant would want it?

I wonder if some of the people bidding are inactive consultants who want a kit to get back into the business, but don't want to have to place a $200 order to be able to get a kit.

Can consultants buy a changeover kit? I never really thought about it before. Is there a way for an inactive consultant to get one?

I know a lot of people get around the rules, but this lady didn't even try to hide it! Her consultant # is 499XXX something, so it isn't like she is brand new!

That is really cool! I have never seen one like that before. All my knives are in a stoneware crock, so I doubt that is keeping them sharp, LOL!

That is so dumb! Wouldn't you think it would be easier to just throw together a catalog show than to spend $30??

It also confines you to how many knives you can have and what sizes of each!:rolleyes:
 
Very nice...I may have to get me one of those!Ann

Some people are just not at smart as us on here and they have to pay for their mistakes!!! Repent people repent!!:D
 
Jennifer K- that is SO cool! If I had $30 I would get one!Jennifer S- I guess I forget that not everyone is as smart as us on here, LOL!!
 
Ending listing = CAUGHT! ...good work guys!
 
...Just To Clear My Name It Is Not Me That's Selling This Stuff On Ebay. When Gillian Opened Her Big Mouth This Time To Say We Have A Tiffany On Here That's Around 21 Years Old She Never Thought To Clear My Name And Say That It Wasn't Me. So Just Thought I'd Let Everyone Know That.

TO GILLIAN: BTW, if you were as smart as you thought you were then you would have thought about what your were saying and you would have thought to check my age instead of making me look like i was the one who was doing all of this. Just to let you know, if i didn't care about my business i wouldn't be on here and i would probably sell the crap on e-bay but i CARE about my business so I'm not going to take that risk.

Actually I did clear your name if you read back in the posts- I got her last name which isn't yours, knew you were married and she was Ms., and I checked your profile and saw that you were 20, not 21.

I wasn't attacking you and I never meant to offend you or hurt your feelings. Please read back in the thread and see that I posted to everyone that it obviously wasn't you. I am sorry!
