Anatomy of Deceit – an Amway Critic’s price comparisons

May 29th, 2009 | Posted in Amway Products, Commentary, JoeCool, Nutrilite, SA8, XS Energy

I was having a discussion about Amway products and to my surprise the other party cited “JoeCool’s website” as evidence that Amway’s products were overpriced and not competitive – in other words, a scam. JoeCool is of course a well known anti-Amway zealot. So I thought I’d have a look at JoeCool’s price comparisons, and he [...]

Why don’t people just tell you it’s Amway?

February 16th, 2009 | Posted in Commentary

A common complaint (and I must say a somewhat legitmate one) that I encounter about Amway rep’s is that they’re often not “up front” about the identity of the company they work with.

Alticor and Amway Sales Growth: 1960 to 2008

February 5th, 2009 | Posted in Amway News

This is an update of a graph I did last year for AmwayWiki

Amway global sales were reported at “estimated retail” until 2000 when the holding company of Alticor was formed. This means they’re valued assuming that they were all sold at the full retail price, not at the price they were sold to distributors/IBOs. Alticor [...]
