    Money needed as new baby on the way so genuine reason for sale - would be looking for about £10k if it goes to an equally loving home.

    Why don't you sell the baby instead? :idea:

    The OP is smart, he is getting involved with a pyramid scheme and wants to know the arguments against it, so when he tries to persuade people to join he has already heard the arguments against it and has a well thought out reply.

    The difference between a good salesman and a bad one is, a good one has heard all the reasons not to buy his product, and has a carefully prepared answer for them.

    Dunno... but I am tempted to offer the OP this fab bargain I've had sat round for a while... it's a bit rusty but it would be a super tourist attraction and I bought it cheap of a guy in Paris and it's definitely the real deal... I have the certificates and everything to prove it's mine too so it's all legit:
