I let myself get suckered into a Mary Kay presentation that I "won" (supposed free make-over) thru David's Bridal. I decided to attend with a friend thinking we'd at least get some free cake out of the deal.
So not worth it. Giant sales pitch and the woman got PISSED when I refused to sign up. I didn't get the free gift because it was for "people who signed up only!" (did not mention that at the beginning) and she actually had the gall to pull me aside and tell me she was CONCERNED that I did not want to sell Mary Kay.
Well for starters you look like Tammy Fae Baker and your co-sponsor isn't wearing ANY make-up. So yeah, I am going to purchase make-up from someone who doesn't know how to use it and one who doesn't use the products at all. 2) I already own a car so your stupid pink car does not appeal to me AND I am pretty sure it is a scam like those magazines that you sell 3,000 you can go to Cabo. 3) don't tell me there isn't any competition and you are all friendly with people crossing over into your turf. Can't get a car if you let other people sell in your area.
Overall it was annoying but at the same time funny how much effort she put into trying to make me sell Mary Kay.
My friend got suckered into it and she said it was a huge mistake. You have to buy the make-up which even at 50% markdown isn't cheap and then find someone to sell it to at 100%. She said that hte other sellers are NASTY and will shred you if you accidently cross into their turf so trying to find an unsaturated market is impossible. She ended up just buying out her start-up kit herself.

What if I pay for our burgers and fries? From Hardees, of course. I will not take you to a cheap place like McD's

For 8 $ that would get you less than 3 minutes of my hourly rate. How much time does it take you to get you pants off???
Times a wasting....

We got suckered into the king of pyramid schemes - Amway. What a total waste of money, time and effort. Although we did go to a business meeting in Hawaii that was a tax deduction.

I'm sure I have, but I tend to block those out of my mind.
My sister, on the other hand, bought a stereo system out of the back of a van because "it was a return, but the guy didn't want to go through the paperwork of returning it back to the warehouse".
he went though a whole script. After she bought it, my brother googled it and found story after story, in which the "salesman" said the exact same thing, even asking for a couple of extra bucks for beer money.

Itsa surprise. Before I spend my $8, I need to know about you. I already know you're about half crazy in the head so that's a huge plus. But tell me more.

I learned a long time ago that any contest they have in the mall or other places is just a ruse to get you to buy something. Learned that hard way. If one reads the very fine print you find there is something they are selling. I do not consider having to sit through any sales pitch to be a free gift.

I found my story pretty entertaining. Then there is the time the Orkin Man convinced me to purchase a contract when I was 6 weeks PP and sleep deprived. For some reason a contract sounded like a really sweet deal!

The shit is still going on. What is the point of a message board if someone is going to get nasty because of posting something that is of interest to you. Don't read it if the title is of no interest to you or as it is your creation moonbeam delete DEbmd account because I am sure new people don't want to join a board where the admin is nasty, that turns people of.

Posting a thread where the entirety of the question is "has anyone tried to sell you something, or have you tried to sell something" is like posting a thread "have you ever been on the internet?"

So she was looking for stories, really you have a problem with that. Screw it this ain't worth it. Still have the power hungry mean girls, they won't change. Seeing as you are an admin why don't all the threads go through the mods so only the ones you want will be shown, because that is what you seem to be advocating.
