This might sound like a really dumb question. Or even niave. I know most of the people selling their PC stuff says they are no longer consultants but do consultants do this? I was looking on ebay and there are LOTS of stuff. I even saw the new blue silicone trivet all ready listed. Wont the consultants be worried it could b traced back to them?
 
Oh Boy...Just do a search on "E-Bay" and you'll find your answer(s) ;)

Ebay ResponseI personally have extra PC paperwork and items that I am willing to sell, but I don't know how to go about it in a "nice" way as I have checked with several consultants locally who are not interested. :confused:
 
e-bay alternitiveThere's a Yahoo Group That is ok to Sell, trade or buy PC stuff from other consultants. (The company does not transfer Warranties though) You have to be a current PC consultant (they're strict about that).

HO will cancel your contract if you sell on e-bay. They do check also.

I had no clue that so many people were talking about the ebay problem. It goes on for 7 pages. I was surfing the net late the other night and saw over 3000 items listed. Alot were spring products.
But I have to say I am interested in the yahoo group that is for consultants so we can trade.
 
You can also try the Trading Post right here.
