Pyramid Schemes

It wouldn't work for me.  I'm a hermit.  My g/f and I tried "SMC" but it was a total scam.  You buy products at "cost" then try to re-sale them to make a profit, but it was total BS.

How in more detail?  Where did you try to sell?  What was the real demand?

I've never really looked into Pyramid Schemes (they're illegal where I live) but upon further research I'm not sure I would like it (nor trust it) very much.

Well, actually, capitalism is a pyramid.  However, some business ideas are clearly scams - which is the real problem as opposed to - legit franchise/affiliate things.

I kind of do my own pyramid scheme, I buy stuff, then I sell it on ebay to make up half or the same or possibly a bit more than the cost. Win win for me only 😛

It was just a bunch of stupid trinkets and shit.  You can sell them "on-line" but there was a fee.  And when you call customer service, every department you speak to is the same freaking person.  SCAM.

There is a market for that stuff at consignment shops, flea markets.  My mom buys that stuff.  However, a business like that requires a lot of investment.   They don't really tell you that.

Agreed.  It was like $100 something just to get "started". 🙁
