First of all that is CRAZY speading that kind of money for an apron. I guess some people love to spend $$.
 
I want, but refuse to pay that price!
 
I am going to hang mine on my wall and put my pins from conference on it. I stole the idea from someone in the office thread.My Director was thinking it would be good for fairs.
 
I think BEXS50 wanted it really bad?!? ;) WOW 34 dollars?!
 
If this person is NOT a Consultant, how did they get the apron?Sounds to me like the person knows PC's rules about selling on eBay, from the wording.
 
lol. I love catching people like that. lol. Seriously!
 
I was trying to bid too but BEX keeps beating me! :rolleyes: Oh well, bumped her up to $38.99 for it anyway. No way I'm spending THAT much! :eek:
 
You know Bexs50 is a consultant on here right? and she is online right now! Ask her to STOP! lol :D
 
Well hello then to BEX!! :D :D

NO WAY I'm paying $45.93 Canadian PLUS the $12 shipping I was quoted to get it here.

Bowing gracefully and stepping aside....:)
 
I'm sorry. If you didnt earn it at leadership, you dont get it. And buying it on ebay from a PC Consultant who is illegaly selling it, is just wrong. With that said...I do have an apron in my store (see sig) and soon, some dot pattern will be added!!

I'm sorry but buying from Ebay isn't wrong in my opinion. Selling PC while with PC however is. We KNOW we're not to sell on there - we can BUY wherever we want. I would never buy products, but consultant only supplies etc - of course I will! And of course regardless how they state they are NOT a consultant we all know they or someone in there household most likely is! ;)
As for leadership, I should have been there - my choice due to circumstances I know. But I will still continue to keep an eye out down the road for leadership 'gifts' for sale.

I honestly don't mean to start a debate :) just giving my opinion for what it's worth.

I absolutely agree with you. I know some others disagree, but I am not, do not, and would not ever SELL on Ebay. I am starting out with PC, HATE the apron, and thought I would treat myself (although I too was out bid :o ). Sorry if any of you were offended by my bidding but as you can see I am not the only Cheffer who has bid on Ebay, and Kcjodih isn't either because I have heard others on this board speak of it also.
 
I totally agree...the selling is illegal but buying isn't. If someone is willing to pay that much for it, which I am not, more power to them. I am glad they got it...I just hope there is a $50 bill in the pocket. :-)
 
I wasn't trying to start a debate and I'm sorry if I ruffeled any feathers. I am an avid ebay buyer, I just wont buy anything PC on ebay. This is just my opinion. I feel that if I want something bad enough that is offered as an incentive to consultants, directors, leadership attendees, I'll do my best and try harder to earn it they way your supposed to.
 
I have the scoop!! My husband bought it for me as a suprise. I told him several days ago that someone was selling the cutest PC dots apron on ebay. He knows I have a "thing" for dots and have been fighting with my migraines. (I am even involved in a study to try to treat them). Anyway, to cheer me up, he decided to get it for me. I am a new consultant-less than 1 month-and really don't have much of anything to start with. I am sorry if he upset anyone.

What a sweet husband! Keep him! I hope your migraines improve BTW. You are in my prayers.

Bexs50: If you hate the apron why did you bid? Just curious.

I have purchased discontinued cookbooks and things like that on eBay but actually LAUGH about people buying current products there - they are paying too much especially with the shipping that's tacked on. I feel that if I had the chance to earn something and I didn't I don't even want it by any other means - it wouldn't mean anything then (to me).
 
He is a major E-bayer. I tell him he has a disease and he needs to "seek professional help". You know it's bad when his home page is E-bay. Of course, maybe I should make CS mine.
 
I think it's sweet that he bought it for you!
 
Yeah.. he is a keeper. Anybody that stays home from work when I have a migraine to help me with 6 kids.. I have a home daycare.. is a definite keeper.
 
Is there a 12 step prgram for eBay, too?Hmmmmmmm.
