I think it's a pretty cool idea, though I could argue it's skirting kind of close to a rule or two.
 
It's more than a rule or two! Certainly this is something that was approved by home office...I hope so anyhow. ....we aren't allowed to sell in retail stores for one...
 
Yes, I hope this was approved by HO - great idea, but it definitely might be against policy.

The reason I'm saying it might be skirting the policy, because it doesn't seem to me like they have the items in the store for customers to take with them. Plus, the consultants who are involved do not own the stores in which they are selling the items.
 
And, are they selling the Mothers Day lunch tote for $36?@! I like the idea as a whole but definitely see issues with it.

Actually, the article says the retail value is $36, which it is (well, $35.50).
