If I try to put it up for sale at ebay or amazon, lawyers from Amway will take action against me.<br /><br />What does this tell you? There isn't any other retail product on the planet for which this restriction is enforced. If you own something, you can legally sell it in any way you want, for whatever price you want.<br /><br />The products in Amway aren't actually meant for normal, uncontrolled retail sales. The products are purely a cover for recruitment, and being a part of "The Plan." That's why Amway is so fanatical about not allowing their products to be sold outside of the Amway racket.<br /> <br />Let's see if some stupid Amway IBOs show up here to defend this practice. It will be interesting to see the logical contortions they go through. Maybe that jerk "Rick" will come back to entertain us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494309285043063074.post-65940879755649180242017-02-10T20:09:27.489-08:002017-02-10T20:09:27.489-08:00Thanks Dr. Doe.

Then the next week we picked up the stuff (if it arrived) and we in turn distributed them. Amway has improved that with drop shipping but it's more expensive and Amway products are even less competitive.

I completely agree! Amway IBO's...Nice post Joe! I completely agree! Amway IBO's have never been able to understand the difference between running a business and spending money. They continuously misconstrue running a business and spending money to generate sales with continual monthly purchases for self-consumption. <br /><br />I have yet to see an Amway IBO come out and try to run it like an actual business with an emphasis on selling to customers. I believe it is mostly because of the shameful "mentors" teaching them to "shop from themselves", but that can't be 100% of the reason. I believe the people at the top also don't sell to the public because they understand it simply isn't possible in their respective categories to be competitive. <br /><br />The products, as you stated, are over priced and or generic, and they are honestly more difficult to purchase than they would be from a retail store. Why would anyone want to order Amway products online and wait for them to be shipped if they can buy them faster and cheaper from a local store? Back in the day, it seemed to actually be worse as Amway would ship out the products to a higher pin and then they would have to stay organized and manage the distribution. This is terribly inefficient and unreasonable.<br /><br />I look forward to hearing a difference in opinion from any Amway IBO that suggests this is somehow a lie and that the bulk of their commissions comes from sales. Good luck out there!John Doehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05186871105223753934noreply@blogger.com
