Who cares if it's crap... you're earning PV and BV.
By QBlog in Quixtar
Quixtar, Amway, Alticore and anyone else in the entire mix does not make crappy products. I'm not saying that they are the producers of second-rate items selling at the same price as comparable name-brand products. I'm simply saying that some of the products from Quixtar just aren't all that good. Sure they are made in America (I haven't checked but I've been assured that everything in Quixtar is made in USA) but when 1/3 of the 50 gallon trash bags I bought have holes...in both ends...I can't help thinking I bought a crap product.
Also, the diapers. They hold nothing. Sure they are fine if you keep your kid dehydrated and change with obsessive frequency but leave one of those puppies on too long and you've got little baby urine pants. They leak after a couple of fluid ounces. At least it seems that way. Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating just a little but if I am...it's only a little.
My point is that Quixtar works on some levels to destroy the individual's ability to discriminate between good products and bad products. When I ask my wife about some of these inferior products she simply won't recognize that the products just don't quite measure up. She says I'm just anti-Quixtar but I'm not. I'm just against Orange Juice that tastes like cough medicine or potato chips that seem stale right out of the bag. I'm not asking for much, just that I can have a decent alternative when the Quixtar version doesn't measure up.
The main argument is that Quixtar products earn PV and BV. This is true. They earn a lot. However, there is a quality of life issue. Without Quixtar I can save lots of money by purchasing really cheap products. I don't because most of the time you get what you pay for. With Quixtar you rarely are saving much money (from what I can see, I could be wrong) and sometimes are getting a very inferior product in my opinion. The rationale is that it's earning PV/BV. Ok, so either way you end up back to square one. If I buy the cheap non-Quixtar item I save a buck and earn nothing. If I buy the cheap Quixtar item I spend an extra buck and earn 1 point of PV/BV which may help me earn another buck.
The basic lesson that I have learned from all this is that in life, no matter what, you get what you pay for. Not always but more times than not.

I agree with Scott-
My group expresses buy what you like & if you don't like it use the money back guarantee that Quixtar gives you. Heck, they even pay the shipping to send it back. There's nobody making you buy everything. Like Scott said, the LOC, SA8 & Artistry ARE hard to beat though.
i read ur comments about the quixtar products and personally i feel that its not your fault. you have become so used to second grade standard of living and cheap products that you have lost the ability to appreciate quality goods and it is people like you who have had no taste of a great life and most certainly never will because of your cynical and ever critical nature
amrita is certainly a high maintenance woman it seems, hope her hubby makes a lot a money in his regular job, lmao. Look who's talkin bout cynical, i don't think she knows what the word means. roflmao!
Hello, my name is Scott... I am a Quixtar IBO. I noticed that you mentioned a few products you had complaints with... garbage bags and diapers... personally, even as an IBO, I find it easier to buy these kinds of items at the store. The products that Quixtar manufactuers are the ones that surpass the competition... L.O.C., SA8, Artistry...
