Obviously HO isn't going to invite people to do this, but I would bet my life that they know about it. If they really cared they would have done something about it by now. Also, I wasn't saying that because my director does it it is okay, I was just saying that I KNOW it goes higher up than her even and they have to know about it at HO. I'll make my own choices and live with the consequences.
 
I have found the ice shavers at thrift stores - love the thrift stores!! Have seen several in there. My kids love those in the summer.

Judging by some of the things I have seen people have up for bid, you KNOW its more than just the "average" consultant.
 
It just sucks because the average consultant loses out on those sales to an auction where they are paying *possibly* a higher-up person more than its worth, and they don't even NEED the sales!!
 
I completely agree.
