SASSIE clearly shows that it's a limit of one shop per wave.

It does but take up is so slow that they are assigning more than one per shopper.......as has been said they are tending towards one weekday one weekend :money:

I have just accepted a Bare charm shop. For those of you who have done them, what is the best sort of thing to buy within the price limit that will resell well on E Bay? Is it best to get a bracelet or the charms themselves?

If it's the brand I'm thinking of, I very much doubt you'll get a bracelet for the reimbursement fee!! I'd go for Xmas-themed charms.

You can get the leather type bracelet for the reimbursement fee, but I don't think they are very popular. Isn't it strange how fads come and go, next year it will be another Brand that everyone must have! When I was younger Benetton jumpers were the must thing!

I wanted to buy charms but it wasn't clear in the notes if you could buy just charms? I bought a ring on one and a pearl necklace for the other.

Just released a studenty pub in St Andrews for next week, Not worth the fee as I'll have to travel, fine for anyone in the area

I read it that you can buy charms and the charm bracelets but the enquiry must not be about them. Did you have to ask for discount? If so what did you say?! I would never dream of asking for one in a store like this!

Most BARE jobs sat you have to ask for a discount. I did on the charm bracelet one and the woman's face almost dropped off. I can remember having to ask for a discount at the posh clothes shop (not petrol, the other thing you put in your car). That was embarrassing too! LOL.

I would stay on the safe side and stay away from charms. The scenario states that you have to say you are not interested in charms or a bracelet. Buying a charm may risk you being paid your reimbursment. I did this job last year for another MS company and we were under strict instructions not to buy charms as the project was about upselling jewellery from different ranges.

I have had a look on the web site and am now thinking that I may buy something for myself. I really "need" a new necklace and they have some lovely pendants. I am never going to get rich doing ms'ing am I?! This is why I don't do car jobs, god knows what I would come home with! :eek:
Would anyone who has done one recently possibly PM me to tell me exactly how much the reimbursment works out in £? Not sure how the rate works going from euros to £'s. Ta very much.
