While I'm sure that's still enough to keep themselves up to their armpits in junk they don't know how to get rid of, I wonder if that number reflects the actual value of all their product they unloaded on others last year or if it is based on their ridiculous retail prices that nobody in the world but them would pay. Because if that's the case their real product volume is about half that number.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494309285043063074.post-77403633880276739112015-03-09T18:34:22.398-07:002015-03-09T18:34:22.398-07:00JC, it's funny you mention that because not on...JC, it's funny you mention that because not only did my friend shell out about 40 bucks (about 4 months ago) for a few of us to sit through one of the weekly suckfests, he then recently bought a tool CD and guess what? Yep it was the meeting I cringed through months back crackling through his crummy speakers in his run down truck. Pathetic.

The sad thing is that the cds and functions didn't do much to help anyone's business.Joecoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09121920263105613498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494309285043063074.post-78195950545424263822015-03-09T17:47:34.124-07:002015-03-09T17:47:34.124-07:00A friend of mine has hundreds of tapes and CD'...A friend of mine has hundreds of tapes and CD's that say the same shit over and over. He tries to get me to sign up by dragging me to the stupid weekly meeting and then pops in these ridiculous tapes and CD's that harp on how the same dozen or so diamonds lived in a house with dirt floors story, yada, yada yada. It's sad, people think that shelling out 5 or 10 bucks for the same weekly meeting and listening to these ridiculous tired tales of rags to riches nonsense will make them rich. It's a total scam and my poor friend can't see it and continues to throw time and money into this hole. Break out another thousand. Smh.

After you've invested for a while, it's pretty hard to just admit you screwed up and walk away. So people hang in there thinking success is right around the corner.......

All that motivational crap to the poor IBO isn't going to convince the rational public to invest in that junk.<br />They lure you in with smoke and mirrors. They get you to lay that first money down and hope you will spend the rest of your life throwing good money after bad, including those stupid "tools". What can possibly be more ridiculous than paying good money to listen to the same old hot air b.s. from different b.s.ers that has no useful purpose in life whatsoever other than to separate you from your hard earned money?<br />Simply amazing that this scam still exists. They've been over fifty years now and still virtually nobody outside of Amway buys or uses their crap but they still manage to sell distributorships for a product line that never gets distributed outside of the distributorship itself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
