IF THE PRODUCTS ARE SO WONDERFUL, WHY DON'T THEY SELL THEM IN STORES?

Actually, Avon does have stores now. You can go in and buy the product direct and I think they can even do makeovers and stuff if you're interested.
I think someone else already explained how people make money selling Avon. My mom's been selling it for about 30 years. She makes about 50% profit on each of her sales (I think), which isn't bad, considering that she lives in a very small community. It's not her primary income and due to the length of time that she's been doing it, she's not out pounding on doors trying to get new customers. She's older, she's thinking of retiring from it soon.
As for Longaberger, that stuff is freaking expensive. I went to a party once for a friend and was thinking, really, this is a basket and I'm not really a 'basket person.' They did have these really cute little crocks though that I bought.
