I see it all the time written on posterboard and taped to electric poles- Stay At Home Moms Make Cash in Your Spare Time!!! Make 10,000 first month!
OK- if you are making ten grand a month can't you afford a real sign.
Of course these are scams- there is always a catch. You have to buy sample product. You have to host a party or get your friends to host a party so that you can sell them stuff and at your party your friends will be guilted into hosting a party so that you can sell more stuff.
I think this party business stuff just takes advantage of the social networks that women work hard to develop and maintain.
Forget the candle business. Selling garbage is far more honorable.
I personally don't like candle parties or overpriced tacky home decor. Though for some reason I always feel like I have to go to the party even though I hate them and I spend the whole time looking in the catalog for the cheapest thing.

So this week's sale of the century wasn't at a garage or warehouse honey. It was at Toys R Us.
Last week I recalled all I had gotten my niece for her birthday was some previously nibbled play food, and since she was standing on the driveway i bought it from- it wasnt actually a surprise.
So out of guilt I went where the Queen rarely goes, somewhere where new in box is an expectation not a bonus. Yup Toys R Us, walkin around the joint I realized how I make such mad cash. Toys are pricey plastic!
While I was wandering around the store I stopped in front of the Elmo display- my niece loves Elmo. Of course there was a giant blank space where there ought to be floor to ceiling Tickle Me Elmo TMX dolls. I had seen a segment on Good Morning America about how these were selling out and my sister had looked up the completeds and told me they were worth $80-$100. Toys R Us is selling them for $39.99.
Now I know to the rest of the world a 100% mark up is unheard of in most things legal, but to the Queen its not all that impressive.
As I was standing there a store person walked by and I asked if by chance they had any Elmos in the back, since what the hell I'm standing there and I have$ 80 bucks burning a hole in my pocket. The dude looked genuinely apologetic and went into this long spiel about how it. . . (read post) |

| BREEDER SALE SPECTACULAR!

This weekend was the GREATEST GARAGE SALE OF ALL TIME. Alright, so I say that every weekend, but this weekend was a special one. TMOTTC (tri cities mothers of twins and triplets club) threw their annual fall clothing and toy resale event. These chicks may have weak pelvic floors, but they throw a serious sale. Their organizational techniques are unmatched. Dont mess with a chick who has developed a flow chart to get her laundry done.
So this is how a big sale works. A club like the good old TCMOTTC rents a space, these guys rent a stadium which is brilliant you already know by the location in the newspaper ad that this sale is going to be huge. Lesser local clubs for the explosively fertile actually get together and rent livestock and specialty county fair barns to house their sales. Nothing says quality, clean merchandise like ducking through 4H banners on your way to the breastpumps.
The idea behind these sales is to raise money for cash strapped mommies as well as the organization. In order to sell at the sale, you have to be a member. Unless you put your name on a waiting list, pass a phone interview and submit to an inperson interview and information session. I know this sounds like hell a work but I completed all 3 rounds and was granted the golden password to resale nirvana. My. . . (read post) |
