My definition of a "pyramid scheme" is one which returns nothing to those who
participate if they do not pass on their pain by selling others on the
"program". Amway actually delivers pretty decent product(s) at a fairly
reasonable price. IIRC there was enough actual product in the "start-up" kit to
cover the buy-in cost.

I was in a similar multi-level marketing deal for Holiday Magic cosmetics. Made
a lot of $$$ by getting a couple of female students at Southern Illinois
University involved as my downstream marketers. I think they graduated without
resorting to student loans. Wheeeeee. I don't know if Holiday Magic are still
in business or not - but, they certainly had excellent product. And, what
really made it go in a campus environment - it was mostly organic ... at a time
when organic and natural were the big buzz-words.
 
I still buy and use Amway. There is a couple who has a small store-front &
warehouse here in the Great American Outback. Like Watkins (which I also buy
from a Mom & Pop storefront) they have gotten into food products as well as
home cleaning stuff.

I use Dish Drops for washing my dishes - less expensive than Ajax and works as
well as Dawn. Also LOC Bathroom Cleaner Spray concentrate and LOC Multi-Purpose
Cleaner, as well as SA8 High Efficiency Liquid Laundry Detergent.

All are cost effective and work well. Haven't tried any of their food stuff.
But, I'd expect it to be up to their usual high standards.
