Wonder who recruited her that she would say, "I was a new consultant and due to some health issues i have had to get out of it, so now i am looking to sell my kit that i got, its a $500 value i am looking to sell it for a reasonable price, it includes, bakeware, stoneware, alot of gadgets and gizmos, as well as a batter bowl, a wire cooling rack, and a skillet. This is a non-returnable item, once it ships it is yours for keeps." She says in her questions that it also includes the paperwork. High bid is $65 right now. Someone is going to get a steal! It also says, "Priority Mail Flat Rate Box" for $13.00 shipping! She isn't sending everything if it is only $13.00 shipping! It comes in several boxes...
I signed a recruit in September and due to family issues is not able to sell at this time. All of her products are also still in boxes. I spoke to her last night and told her to call HO about returning the items. That is what she is planning on doing. Some people just see the correct way in doing things and some don't. Selling on E-Bay is WRONG!!!!

This wouldn't be her, would it? It just shocks me that people actually do this! I feel like asking her if she can really mail the whole kit for $13 since it came in 3 boxes! I think it is a scam on her part! Why would she be selling the paperwork too? Anyone on eBay wouldn't have a use for it! I see the high bid is $65! She's going to take a hit for sure! She also promised Priority Mail Shipping for $13... She has to fullfill that too! I did report it to HO... Maybe if multiple people do it, it will be gone faster!
