*****in about Diversion??

Island girl · 08-11-2007, 01:24 PM

Just very curious... Alot of folks on here are so ****** off about lotion diversion and peeps buying their lotion online. HOWEVER, these same folks have no problem going to that very site and purchasing equipment for their salon such as spray guns, etc..... Do you guys think this is hypocritical or is it justified depending on what you're buying from this online site?

Ask Engfant.

The problem is you never know where the products came from.
There are a lot of products on that site that have been stolen with no way of proving they were.
I personally would not support them in any way.

As far as lotion sales, If the manufacturers were really serious about stopping diversion it would be done already.

What sundude said....and I for one have never purchase any of my salon equipment on ebay.

engfant · 08-11-2007, 03:04 PM

Yeah, It seems as you are calling out fools but which fools?

HAVE NEVER BOUGHT ANYTHING FOR MY SALON FROM EBAY!

Bought 2 things there... some mason stickers for my dad, and that was literally the ONLY place to buy them. I tried several masonic halls throughout california. The person I bought them from has a STORE on e-bay. He is legit!

Then I bought a phone from another "store" on there. That was out of pure necessity... I have bought SEVERAL throughout the years, I go through them quickly. I broke another one and needed that same phone... couldn't spend $300 on a phone, so I spent $100. I do feel quilty... but I had to have it, couldn't wait till I could save up another $200. My phone is my security system (not a luxury)!

Even the people on the other end of AT&T said go to Ebay and find someone with a good reputation.

It is not like tanning salon owners are like "hey, this lotion is $100, why don't you go to a good theif on ebay and get it through them for $30"

I personally for what I do would NEVER buy a sunless solution over ebay and I like ebay, for somethings.

TT&TT- My hubby is a Mason, Scottish Rite and Shriner, we found our sticker emblems at the Scottish Rite Hall. They are hard to find, but the lodge memebrs know where to get them. :)

I hate ebay, for any products, you never get what you think you're going to get. Too risky if you ask me.
