My wife isn't a rep, but LOVES Arbonne products also. She gets her Arbonne stuff quicker and cheaper from ebay sellers instead of going through her rep/friend.

yeah lolz i see a lot of stuff go on ebay for much less than what reps get them for... as for shipping tho.. i think its a YMMV cause out here in STL we get the products 2-4 days and its UPS ground too... we purchased the arbonne stuff thru ebay a few times over the year but one time one of the products came and the stuff inside looked different than what she normally got so we avoided ebay for beauty products...

if it ends up going to hell (which i doubt cause i think she will use all of the product we paid $400 bux for) we could always hawk it on ebay at half or less than half of MSRP we wouldnt be losing much since we got a good deal on the first order....

It's a shame that some companies that make good products go the MLM route. It COMPLETELY discredits the company in my mind.

where are your sources? i did intensive searching... they actually are concocted in swedish labs that other similar companies share...

they seem legitimate... just i dont like the way the product is being marketed... it makes the product cheap.... i mean how hard is it to markup a product 35% and then make people pay a membership+reseller fee to get the discount (lolz imaging a webhosting mlm??) anyway...
