Yesterday I attend to an all day scrapbooking meet with other CM members. This day was planned about a month or two before CM went into receivership. The truth was told yesterday which I knew all along. It was the main company is US who is in financial trouble and is causing operation problems for Australia. I assume NZ is in the same vote!!
All this week I had emails about liquidation sales. It ends tomorrow night! I would like to order but I don't trust the company anymore after what they done to my membership. If I order online I may not get the item (as all items listed WSL) and they won't refund me I probably do better on eBay!! Don't tell my consultant that as she wasn't happy about some ex-consultants were selling their stock on eBay. Majority of the sales on offer are high bidders on album refills and page protectors. They are going triple the RRP. I heard through the grapevine there is a company who makes very similar album pages as CM. I should check their website to see how much they are going for.
The only item I purchased cash was a cup caddy when you place on the side of the table. Normal RRP was $35 but she had the reduced sale for $15. This caddy is bigger then the previous model (known as the side kick years before). You can even place your mobile inside (where you suppose to). It would be big enough for two mobile phones of today.
We had afew raffles going! We had to earn tickets to get one or more tickets. I managed to get only three from using particular tools or completed their pages of the day. And guess what? I won a small pack of Christmas stickers!! The jokes were going around about selling some our winning items on eBay. Of course our consultant overheard and wasn't a happy camper about that. But hey! Some people (sellers) need money as the company didn't pay their wages for the past month or two. And the buyers were desperate for their item so they will pay anything for it as it isn't available anymore.
Apparently there was a corporate meeting during the week about the company's future. We were told there could be prospect for a new company introduced in Australia. I mean that could be months or afew years before that could be up and running. Until then, life goes on!!
