I was just browsing through ebay and I came across one of the HWC Aprons (the pink and black one that some of you just earned) and the bids right now are up to $96!!!! Can you believe that! Who would pay $96 for an apron?!!! There are 21 bids on it so far! That is crazy! I understand that they are very nice (so I've heard, I didn't earn one) but I can't believe that anyone would pay $96 for one! Anyway, just had to share with someone that would get it... and yes, I know that they shouldn't be selling it on ebay, it's against the rules and it must be an active consultant... but that's not the point of this thread...
 
$96!!! I might be tempted to sell if someone offerend that much to me.....LOL!

I know, right?!!!!
 
I would sell it if someone offered that much!
 
There is a second one up to $56 already.
 
It takes all kinds to make the world go 'round...for me personally, I have TONS of better things I need to do with $96 than buy an apron, but if I had lots of extra money to throw around and really wanted it, I guess I'd probably get it. There have been several things in my life that I have put on the back burner because we can't afford it, but I just chalk that up to weighing out my needs vs. my wants. :)

I guess my surprise is that someone would list it on eBay when it's obviously a consultant incentive...unless someone "gave" it to a friend and that friend is listing it for them, it's violating PC policies. Oh well...
 
All I will say is WOW!!!










Anything else gets me flogged... Had enough of that!
:rolleyes:
 
You can't sell a consultant incentive? Seems like you've earned it so you can do with it what you want. And I would sell it for $50 (if I had it, which I don't).....
 
I would spend $96 on alot of things but not a HWC apron. If you have the money and really want it , all power to ya :)

Consultants aren't supposed to sell any PC stuff on ebay
 
If I worked to earn something (like the HWC apron or tote bag, etc.), I definitely would keep it! Those that sell our Consultant incentives on eBay should be caught and fired! I'm sorry to be so harsh but policy is policy! If they don't want it, give it to their top May Host!
 
Maybe they're doing for Help Whip Cnacer Fundraiser? Always looking for the best in people!!;)
 
also, sometimes you earn something that you may not really want - ie. p chef bag that looks like a diaper bag and then they send it to you and tax you on it. (free is not really free) seems like some others said, if I earned it, it should be mine to sell or keep. It isn't a p chef product that others can sell so it is not making a difference on someone else's sales.
