OK, different question ...
My second show of the month is about to close ... the "past host" really WANTED to get a set of cookware at 60 percent off but just couldn't afford it.
So as an alternative ... I asked her if she'd be interested it for what I'd pay in my kit enhancement month.
If I buy cookware in February, which is my kit enhancement ... and then in April, can I get the same thing for her?
ALSO ...
Can I order, say, the set that includes the 10 inch skillet and ALSO the open stock 10 inch skillet, both in the same month?
(Not sure if either of us will order ANYTHING but it's good to know the options.)

The way that I understand the rules, no. A kit enhancement is just that a way for "you" to build your kit. This is one of the perks of being a consultant, not a friend or host of the consultant.Even if it wasn't an ethical issue if she can't afford to buy it at 60 % off as a host, why does she then even want to think about buying it at 40% off? Not to mention the lifetime warranty would not transfer.As far as buying a set and then later an open stock item that is the same, I would think you could. They are different purely because one is a set and the other is one item. I can't find any evidence either way, so that is my opinion.
