New Tools System
By QBlog in
My wife recently received an email notification from her upline discussing the change in how tools are purchased and distributed. For years tools were purchased from the upline. We would give our upline a blank check (yipes) and they would write in the amount and cash it to pay for tools. Then the upline would deliver the tools to us. Now, according to the email, that system is ending. Apparently tools will be purchased directly from InterNET Services via a DEBIT card only. No credit cards. No blank checks. It also looks like the tools will be delivered via snail mail or UPS or something.
This is interesting. I never liked the whole "give upline a blank check and wait for them to come over and deliver tools" thing.

Yeah, we should probably pound on everybody who sells their items on e-bay, too. Damn cushiness, I tell you.
Yes yes yes. Pound those e-bay buffoons. Pound them I tell you! Pound Pound Pound Kilo Pound Pound. Hey, damn metric system.
Cushiness RULES. My couch is so cushiness... I love it. Hmmmmmm. Cushiness.
Hi there,
I am German and am wondering about the statement 'blank check'. What is that? Does it mean you don't know how much you will evidentually have to pay for? Sorry, there is no suitabel translation - different banking systems I suppose. Thx in advance
for the answer

You basically understand.
A blank check means we signed a check and gave it to our upline. When the tools came in they would write in the dollar amount and their names (or "To Cash" which is essentially the same) and then take that check to a bank and get the money or deposit it to their account.
We never knew exactly how much it was going to be but our upline lived next door and we knew they weren't going to try to write in some absurd amount. However, I still didn't like it.
Still sounds like the same thing as a blank check, only now they get their money faster and know when someone's become broke. Also, since they get their money before they send the tape, they no longer have to worry about people shorting them.
More of a cushy proposition for them, IMHO
