Nope, that's not me, I asked mine after that one. My question to her was:

WOW, I guess your 'friend' didn't want any of the gifts she received at Leadership - how sad. And, how convenient for you that she gives them to her 'friend' to sell on ebay.
her answer:
It was not given to me to sell...I decided to put this on auction as it really isn't to my taste of decor.
It is very cute and soft...just not for my household.
I do love the products though.
thanks again for your concern


I guess the other stuff wasn't to her taste either. LOL I decided to keep up the conversation and sent this message back to her:



I guess her other gifts to you were not to your taste either. I find it rather distasteful that you are either:

1) making money off of your friend's generosity

or

2) helping your friend break the rules of her contract by selling on ebay for her


She never responded to that one....:rolleyes:


You are cracking me up!!!:D

I loved her 'priceless' answer!

I know, right??
 
Here are my questions and her answers...hehe

me(regarding the pin):
Where did you get this? It is really cool

her answer:
I'd rather keep that private.
I don't think it can be purchased though.
It is really nice.
thanks for asking


Another question I asked regarding the blanket:
I just read your other question. Why would you sell a gift? Your friend gave it to you, because you love Pampered Chef. Aren't you afraid she will see this listing, and get her feelings hurt?

her response:
no..things are fine there
thanks for checking
 
Bettie - You should send that dialog to HO. I just sent this to the pws violations dept:

I know this auction has been reported by several consultants. Since it’s still active, I’m wondering why it is not a violation? Or if she is ignoring you?

This auction ends tomorrow afternoon.

She also has the other gift items from Pampered Chef for auction:

I find it hard to believe that she is not doing this in conjunction with an active consultant. Below is dialog I had with her about the Dot’s Blanket:

My question:
WOW, I guess your 'friend' didn't want any of the gifts she received at Leadership - how sad. And, how convenient for you that she gives them to her 'friend' to sell on ebay.

My next question to her:
I guess her other gifts to you were not to your taste either. I find it rather distasteful that you are either:

1) making money off of your friend's generosity

or

2) helping your friend break the rules of her contract by selling on ebay for her

I know you all are busy with tons of violations, this one just irks me.

Thanks,
Linda



I'll let you know what their response it.
 
I will.........I hate being a snitch, BUT this one is irking me too! lol
Especially with HO being so up in arms with Joy, and then not seem to be nothing about this??
 
Okay I just sent this

This auction ends tomorrow afternoon.

this might be a dumb questions, but is it against the rules to sell our leadership gifts? Don't get me wrong, I don't want to, but I thought i would ask.

i can't believe the blanket is up to $60 and the calculator $50, people are crazy!
 
Don't yell at me, but honestly, I would sell mine for those prices! If people are that silly to pay it, I would sell mine in a heartbeat. They are both cute, but I could use the $$!!!

I'd be willing to pay someone for one, but $60 is way off!
 
:eek::eek:
 
. . . and $51 for the calculator. These people are either really, er, not smart, or obsessed with all things PC!
 
Well, someone is now the proud owner of an $81 Dots blanket :eek:

hhhmmmm......I may have to reassess how much I like mine if this is the going rate :rolleyes:
 
There is another dots blanket and calculator on ebay as well, but the person just put fleece blanket instead of dots in the description. Go search pampered chef blanket and it should come up. This person also has a picture of herself on ebay.

If she gets as much as this last person, I will be tempted......LOL (don't get any ideas, I'm kidding.....maybe..LOL)
 
do you think she really received this as a wedding gift? not! http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Pampered-Chef-Rectangular-Baker-Stone-White-Glaze_W0QQitemZ270340250707QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCookware_Bakeware?hash=item270340250707&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A0%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50

Let's see... the friend would have had to receive it and wrap it up for the wedding. So the wedding would have been one of the last 2 weekends, based on when SAT and samples shipped. So she's married less than 2 weeks and is already selling her gifts? And one that was given to her by a "dear friend"? Give me a break.

And, if it's not the color she wanted (Like she says on her listing) wouldn't the obvious thing to do be to ask your "friend" to exchange it for the other color?
 
For $81!!! I would sell mine in a heartbeat!! (If I had one)
For that money I would actually buy supplies/products that would help my business!!

&& who is the crazy person who paid that much! WOW!
 
& How many people are going to try & sell their's now? I bet a lot.
 
I wouldn't sell my blankie, i love it! :) the calculator, maybe if it didn't already break! Lol
 
I've not been on for a few days--WOW. $81 for the throw. I just checked e-bay and another one is going for $20+ and the cal. for $20+. I'd be willing to sell mine in a heartbeat for that. Hubby might be losing his job---desperate times call for desperate measures. You never know what situation these people are in that are selling the items.
