Are Hwc Aprons on Ebay Worth the High Price?

[heat123]

Man, the old style is going for $66ish and the new ones are up for $25-36 or something! I wanted one but not enough to pay that much! Wish they had them on order supply!

 

[chefann]

That makes me so mad! The new ones, not the old (since those people may have quit PC).

 

[dannyzmom]

That's just INSANE!!!

 

[pamperedharriet]

I wish I earned the apron but no way am I going to pay that much for one!

If the new aprons are on there, then the consultant is still active. I have lost a consultant this month because she was caught twice for selling on E Bay and they cancelled her contract. They have to learn that they are serious about not selling items on line. It's a tough way, but they did warn her the first time. I think she sold alot of stuff from what someone told me.

I am sorry you lost someone from your team but I think it's GREAT that HO is on top of this. Again though, I am sorry you lost someone from your team

Donna, I hate to hear that that happened to you, but I'm happy to hear Pampered Chef took the action they did! I figured all they got was a slap on the hand!

 

[pamperedharriet]

Nice to hear that they do take action on repeat offenders. Sorry about losing a consultant Donna.

Why can't we sell consultant items on eBay? I thought we only couldn't sell products, past or present? I never have sold anything PC (consultant or product) but I don't see why consultant items can't be on eBay...

 

[janetupnorth]

Actually, I reread the contract we all signed just today as I was gathering some stuff for someone I am working on as a recruit. It says we won't resell any PC products...

 

[gilliandanielle]

Is a consultant only apron really a product though? That is my question...

 

[janetupnorth]

I guess that would be an argument - it technically is a "company product" just not in a catalog... ...it would even throw us a loop on here... Don't know the answer to that one...

I will promote and sell Company products to customers by regularly holding Cooking Shows. I will not sell Company products on the Internet or in any public, retail or service establishments. I will not sell Company products for resale. I will present Company products in a truthful, sincere and honest manner, and I will conduct myself in a manner that reflects the highest standards of integrity and responsibility in keeping with the reputation of the Company.

 

[heat123]

I would think it was more of a supply, like it would be avail on order supply as is the denim one??

 

[gilliandanielle]

OMG!

This is BAD!

WOW! A RARE item!! Probably so rare because we can't sell them yet you &%$$##!!!

 

[janetupnorth]

I guess it's time to pull out Richard's e-mail again????

 

[janetupnorth]

"Due to my email spam settings, please contact me through ebay only (through the item) if you have problems or questions."

Translation: Due to my e-mail possibly giving me away, please contact me through E-bay...

 

[janetupnorth]

$20 for a mini measure-all cup??????? WHAT?????????????

 

[hoosierchef]

Has anyone reported these?

 

[rennea]

WTH, who pays these kind of prices!! I can't believe it

 

[janetupnorth]

I just send an E-mail on Donna (tupperwareglobal) because she has MANY, MANY PC E-bay sales...

 

[janetupnorth]

She got under my skin after reading her about me page and seeing 50+ items listed including ones I didn't earn because I was honest with my business...GRRR....

 

[gilliandanielle]

I didn't send them in...

 

[gilliandanielle]

The products that people buy from sellers rather than consultants is what bothers me...

 

[rennea]

Gee I just posted a bunch of stuff on Market place that I'm trying to get rid of maybe I should try ebayhttp://www.thesmilies.com/smilies/winking0023.gif


Ha, just kidding please don't hurt mehttp://www.thesmilies.com/smilies/scared0016.gif

 

[heat123]

Is it ok to buy supplies from ebay? Right as I signed up I bought a lot supply of PC stuff to get prepared to sell but haven't bought anything since?? And since I have a bunch of supplies I need to get rid of and couldn't on market place I thought about ebay?

 

[gilliandanielle]

I personally don't see anything wrong with buying and selling consultant only items on eBay. I actually think it is a great way for consultants going out/in to both get a deal.

What angers me about eBay is when I lose a customer/sale to a (sometimes!) lower price on eBay or a product that isn't available yet.

 

[letscook04]

She sells tupperware and PC. I see that she has the Pink bowls up. When you click on her "me" profile, this is what she says:

Hey there ! I'm glad you are getting to know me. I'm a salesperson in the real world and figured I'd try cyberspace. I know the value of a hard earned dollar and getting the most for your buck. Please keep me as a favorite to see what I continue to add.

Welcome to my store. I carry a variety of items for your home. Tupperware, Pampered Chef, Home Interiors, Floral Designs and Hand Crafts, Gardening Accents, Etc. All store items are brand new never used, but I will post some gently used items at times in my auctions. Thanks for your interest!

Me too! But since they don't what I did was bought a white apron at the
5 & 10 for $3.98 and dyed it pink, hoping that will at least be a reminder to me to talk about HWC & maybe raise some questions from guests.

LOL! That is EXACTLY what I thought!! I'm sure she thinks she's being slick but I really hope someone at HO catches her. IF this is the first time she is caught, I hope they skip the warning stage and straight out drop her as a consultant. She clearly knows what's she's doing...and that it's wrong!

I too bought a pink apron last year for HWC and it say's "cook for the cure" on it, very cute but I just love this new HWC apron!

I sent it on yesterday...so hoping...they may have the power to contact Ebay for her personal information or to contact past customers - looks like she entered orders for a few and shipped direct...

 

[speedychef]

It's so wrong, I know, but it half makes me want to sell my apron! I REALLY wanted it and begged for orders to get it, so I won't give it up for sure, but GEEZ...$44!? I think it would be cool to get these to give to fundraiser hosts. It'd be a neat gift. Maybe I'll email HO...I've emailed them twice already today...I wonder if they flag me, "oh no...not another email from THIS chick!!"

Yeah, I sometimes feel that way too... ...and I've only e-mailed about 3-4 times. Do you ever get a response?

 

[Chozengirl]

It's funny the price these people pay for these aprons.
If they bought say $45 worth of PC, they could have possibly met thier goal for the 3 shows submitted.
KWIM?
These prices are rediculous!
And they are making a killing off of the pins too!

 

[gilliandanielle]

I know! Make me want to count up all the random HWC pins on the floor in my office and list them We need a HO opinion on selling consultant only items on eBay, stat!!!

 

[rennea]

I know what you mean, I put some pins up under the market thread and only charged a $1.00 each. I just couldn't rip another consultant or anybody else off. People will do anything to make an extra buck. I've seen those pins go for $7.00 each

 

[speedychef]

I have some pins, too...maybe I should sell them and donate the proceeds to ACS? Or to my pocket...darn Ebay! Maybe I should sell other junk I have around....

I got this idea from another consultant and I like how it has been going...I wear my HWC apron to shows...and I allow the guests to honor someone they know/knew who has/had/survived/perished from cancer...by signing that person's name on my apron. Anyone who signs the apron gets a pin. I will do this til I run out of pins. Now when I go to shows, all these names are all over my apron honoring loved ones...it's going over very well...

Fantastic idea! I am going to share this with my cluster, if you don't mind.

 

[Pampered_Marcia]

I finally got my apron yesterday! Hooray!

Just a quick question - I thought the printing was going to be white and brown? Mine is white and grey. Are the "second-run" of aprons different???

Now I have to go return the pink and brown shirt that I bought last week to wear with it.

 

[Bexs50]

Mine is pink and grey, too! And come to think of it, I thought it was supposed to be brown also...didn't give it much thought when I got my apron, but now that you mention it......
