I have a handful of items that are duplicates which I got in the spree... and several retired items in my surprise boxes.

What are the rules on selling them? I know e-bay is out ... what about yard sales, classifieds, fairs? (I have found the larger items don't go over well at flea markets.)

Don't want to break any rules!
 
You can post retired items on the board. If u are wanting to sell current item people can pm or email u for a list.
 
Oh and I sell all of my extras at fairs and trade shows in the fall, open houses, and I keep on hand for the occassional last minute I-need-a-gifters!!

I'm actually thinking in terms of local ... I just don't want to break any rules. Do we have to sell at full price?
 
We can't sell at over the catalog price and we have to make it clear that the warranty does not transfer (so they get no warranty). I think classifieds would be stretching it but you can sell at yard sales, fairs, to friends/family.
 
I'm local!:D
If you want to send me a list!
 
Personally, I would say you are better off hanging on to it and giving as gifts, etc. My Dad is a yard sale junkie and he finds PC stuff all the time, for like 50 cents!
He got a piece of executive cookware, a food chopper, and the simple additions square bowls and stand, all in the boxes, and looked brand new for $6.

I know ... some lady at a flea market told me how she got a food chopper at a yard sale for a QUARTER!My brother is allegedly getting married ... so they may get the griddle ... and there is not much else on the list since I needed so much. Just wanted to be aware of the rules!
 
You can use as a booking incentive and raffle something off to all of your hosts during a 2-3 month span!
