I said nothing about being scammed neighbor, I just pointed out that these 
companies do use the pyramid type system for financial gain and structure, I 
never said this was a bad thing, just that it is...

as far as I am concerned this style of venture is fine for those who have 
the stamina to do them. my mother did Tupperware, but ran short on the 
"Umph" to keep running the parties, so worked it long enough to pay off her 
deluxe display kits (three large cases worth) and retired with nice new 
Tupperware for her home for about 1/3 the usual cost, more than most folks 
would ever get in there lives due to the expense.

I have also known folks who did both sides of the Avon gig, some who do the 
door to door bit, and some who do enough to take a distributors status and 
work that part from that point on, and both did well (and if you have the 
stamina for the first part, you can also become a mail carrier , though most 
don't realize it)

it all depends on which end you want to work, and how much you can put into 
it

out here there is a large candy company, See's candy, that has somewhat 
limited access for most of its products (in house only, though there in most 
major and many minor malls), but they also have a fund razing program for 
non profit organizations which sells some delicious chocolates, for a real 
nice price, and some folks can as well make some personal funds in the setup 
as well. my lady did it for several years and paid for several vacation 
trips with it as well as razing several thousand dollars for the 
organization, and feeding my very active sweet tooth with some mighty fine 
chocolate as well, smile.

take care,
