I used what was left of my suprise boxes I bought at conference to make some new contacts. I had given catalogues to the clerks at a local Post Office. One of them said she wished PC had stoneware in green. I told her that I had some discontinued items that were green. I brought the whole box in and everybody dug in. I sold $65 worth and only had a couple of things left. I made more than I paid for them even though I didn't sell anything at full price. They said that they would be calling me with an order soon.
I will be buying more next year.

That's great! What a way to make new contacts.
 
If they still want the green stones, let them know about the one that's on the oulet. HTH!
 
Way to go, Bobby!

They ship them for you. I didn't get to the boxes this year (first time I missed them - it's just such fun!) but the year I drove and did do the boxes I was sorry I didn't have them ship - dragging those boxes around and getting them to the hotel is a big pain! It's worth the shipping charge!

I paid $8 and change. They are taking out of my next check. I didn't need to give them anything.
