    Haven't read all the pages, but anyone that has been in retail business, or even knows anyone that has, knows how much things are marked up. The "pyramid scheme" sponsorship is absolute 100% BULLSHIT. Yes you "save" money, pay them $85.00 and you get a discount...20-60% off i think was mentioned. That discount is most likely off MSRP, so it's technically not the discount amount they claim because companies rarely sell for full MSRP. Then you add in the fact that everything in retail is marked up 100-200+%. They are still making at least 50% profit on every item they sell...that means they are still grossing $150,000 for every $100,000 they sell...that's not a sponsorship, it's a selling scheme making the victim, i mean customer, a walking infomercial of bullshit.
